retro, x valve tech question

[mustangii]

I am in the process of build my own version of an electro/ pnuematic mag. I am going to use an ICD promaster grip frame with a frame adaptor mounted to a tacone wingless rail. I want to mount a small clippard ram in the frame adaptor and was wondering how much ram stoke I need to trip the sear. the ram with be mounted in front of the sear and push toward the rear.
Thanks

Exactly as much as your normal trigger pull (maybe 3/16" tops?).

Those little clippard rams need to have some of the travel taken away because they have too much. If you don't the sear can mushroom the on/off bottom.

That's a switch (valve) not a ram. It is 1.218" long. You might have a hard time getting it into a grip frame since the inlet is on its butt.

Most folks use a MPA-3 for the ram.
