    Trigger Rod too short in Intelliframe

    So I have decided to switch out my old frame (no idea what type... benchmark maybe? It's a single trigger) with an intelliframe. The trouble is my intelliframe has the trigger set too far forward or something. When fully aired up the trigger rod is barely bumped by the trigger when fully pulled back. It also seems to shift a bit. Is there anything I can do? I was thinking of putting a dab of superglue or something on the back of the trigger frame so that the rod has something to press against.
    Incanse you need the info

    Original frame seems to be a benchmark or something
    New Frame is an intelliframe (bought used_
    68 classic valve with lvl 10 bolt
    Rail I am not sure about (normal maybe?)
    Body is also a somewhat normal one (not warp feed. It has a solid tube sticking up at 45 degrees)

    Any idea what I can do? I wanna have it up and running tommorow. Thanks a bunch in advance!

    The trigger rod will unscrew from the sear clevis to the correct length (unless shortened already).

    The correct length will be 1/16" from the trigger rod to the back of the trigger with the marker aired up and the safety on.

    Be sure you have the trigger rod in the right place when mating the frame to the rail.

      Yes secret has it right. The rod itself can be unscrewed to make it longer. Just set your saftey and unscrew till it it comes close to that back of the trigg. Pretty simple but the rod is pretty tough to turn sometimes....

        I think the last owner red-loctited it in place. I will try heating it up to break the loctite and lengthen it
        thanks a bunch!

          If you have any problems and end up breaking the clevis then you can find them at just about any hobby store since they are a pretty common clevis used on RC cars, airplanes, etc.

          If my foggy memory serves me correctly the trigger rod length spec is 1.985"

          That's measured from the tip of the trigger rod to the back of the sear where the clevis attaches.
