Spydermag variation

[nyarlathotep]

I've been playing around with the idea of either making a pneumag or a spydermag out of my classic and came up with something interesting: what if, instead of turning/positioning the solenoid to trip the sear directly, weld on a wee piece of steel at the end of the sear (on the on/off side) and having it push that. The force would be applied farther from the pivot point, increasing the torque, making the concept feasible. Also, since the sear spring in a spyder/clone eframe returns the solenoid plunger to its original position, thus either a small spring would be needed, or one could simply rely on the see-sawing action of the sear to re-set it (basically to rely on the on/off pin to have enough pressure to push bach the plunger as well as the sear)

Seems feasible, except for one thing - how the hell am I going to fit the solenoid, as well as the whole sear-mod-thing in a frame. This whole design was an offshoot of a bull-pup type thing (as was posted on ebay not too long ago), where there would be ample space to put stuff in the back of the stock. Or, you could also weld on a piece of metal, and have the solenoid be lower in the frame, and push up at an angle.

I'll have concept pics up sometime soon, but in the meantime, anyone have any input on feasibility of this? Anyone ever do something similar or seen something like this before?

Thanks.

This is the sear thing im talking about :

I was thinking and depending on how long you make the extension and which 3way you use it would seem that a regular cocker ram(one of the smaller diameter ones) would be able to fit in there and move the sear. Then again the current way works so who knows.

I'm ashamed to say I know literally nothing about 'cocker internals/frontblock mechanisms, care to elaborate for the sake of conversation?

yeah, my modded sear spydermag fits well, and is basically right under the on off pin. but unless you have somehow put a lvl10 in your classic, your kinda at a dead end as is.

The previous picture goes along with another idea I'm playing around with - bull-pupping it, and using that as a sear tripper

This is something for the classic frame:
