    DYE frame won't work

    I just bought a chrome DYE 2x and it wouldn't work with my mini.
    Air enters the chamber, trigger is forced forward and has plenty of pressure behind it, but when I squeeze the trigger nothing happens.
    Any suggestions?


    Set up:
    Minimag
    R/T valve
    PMI pure energy 88ci. 3000psi.

    Did it work with the stock frame? Some of the dye frames have tolerance problems. You might have to dial out the trigger rod ever so slightly to get it to work.

      You need to set up the trigger so there is a tiny bit of slack in between the rod and the trigger when it is gassed up.

        1:I fired my Mag (with the stock frame) minutes before the swap.
        2:There is play between the rod and the trigger.

        It has to be a tolerance problem because my safty wouldn't work, it seems that the hole is a little low on the frame because the spring seems to be too short.
        I think I'll get my money back and buy an Intelliframe.

            If the safety is causing a problem, you can always punch it out. Tons of people don't play with safeties...

              Just ditch the DYE and get an Intelliframe, at least that way you -know- it will work, and on the rare chance it doest, AGD will more than likely fix it for you.
