    buy an intelliframe or hyperframe may help you out, and try not to mess with The Trigger rod or sear

          the best way to lighten a mags trigger is to shoot it. the mor you shoot it, the more broken in the trigger becomes, and it gets softer. i would not change powertube spacers because you may run in to leak problems an other things.

          you may want to invest on a double trigger. this gives you more leverage and therefore a lighter pull.

            Never heard of 'breaking in' a mag trigger, new to me. Changing your power tube spacer is certainly the fastest way to lighten your trigger pull. If you get a leak, put the next largest size back in.

              Yeah I believe shooting it makes it softer over time. Want a softer trigger pull? Get an electro. Want quality and reliability? Stick with your mag and stop complaining . Haha yeah you can change your power tube spacer, and you can get a double trigger. That's what I did and it made all the difference. Well...not all :).

                time is the best answer.

                whats all this talk about powertube spacers lighting trigger pull. the spacer has nothing to do with the trigger pull. it mearly sets the point where the PT oring will seal on the bolt. it wont affect the trigger pull at all.

                  This powertube spacing rubbish is probably just a placeabo (spelling?) for Panzerr - he thinks it lightens his trigger pull so it does .........

                    But what could this be: A teammate has also a Mini and my triggerpull is much (muchmuchmuch) lighter an shorter than his one ... also the other Team members said that, when they shoot both!
                    I have a new spring and a new Bolt and the only thing I done was the spacer kit and the sear polishing ...
                    So, what can this be?

                      It's placebo. I've been working with mags for years and changing the power tube spacer will alter your trigger pull.

                        Buy an RTs on/off assembly and install it into your classsic valve...you may need to alter the length of the on offf pin though to get it back to within tolerances.

                        if u have an RT or ReTro valve u can polish/sand down the on/off pin to make your gun more reactive. If you do this u shorten the life time of the pin but u have nicer trigger.

                          Manuel_FZR: if you have a polished sear then that would be what's lightening the pull so much. it's a trigger job that when done right will give a lighter pull but I advise against it for three reasons. one it shortens the life of your sear a fare bit. two it's easy to screw up when you are doing it and destroy the sear. three it's harder on the bolt, and will cause it to ware out faster to.

                          ways to lighten the pull of a mag are:
                          1: double trigger the inteliframe is about the best one on the go (a double doesn't really make it lighter it just feels that way)
                          2: z-valve, or reactor valve (both work, but I may end up castrated for mentioning non AGD aftermarket parts.)
                          3: spacers may change the feel of the trigger (it may not be lighter but it will feel deferent)
                          4: boo-yahh or hyper frame (it's an electro frame, it's not a mag trigger any more. but it will do the job)
                          5: sear and bolt polishing (bad idea if you ask me)

                          hope some of this helps you out.
