ManInBlack's Autotrigger

[chinstrap]

Also for the record, $50 was a number I just pulled out of my cornhole, having no idea of the process involved.

[ManInBlack]

I'm also thinking this would work best as a "build per order" type of thing. You can all see the skills involved in making these things exist, you know they're not going to be cheap. MagHog and I will not be making money on these things, even at $75-$100 a pop, but we're willing to make them simply because we know there are people out there who will pay for them and appreciate them. MagHog - Feel free to correct me if I speak for you incorrectly

No we're good MIB,
I am still up for doing this. Making less is easier for me than making more.
If we wind up making 20 of them, then so be it.
I just wanted to wave a warning flag so you guys don't get disappointed when we come out with this price, and I had once stated in the other thread that we would probably be able to do it for under 100$. Which still remains a fact.
I finished a second prototype, and when I do the third, I'll do a step by step photo shoot of the whole process so you guys get to SEE what's involved.

Now THAT I have to see.

So, is this still happening? Has anyone bought one of these custom triggers? Just wondering if the idea's still alive or if it died.

[ManInBlack]

I've been playing with it, but it looks more and more like each trigger would have to be custom tuned to a specific marker. I had it working perfectly on my one marker and can't get it working on another for the life of me.

The more and more I think about it, I would rather have one of these than changing out regs on my tank. Please keep us posted on your R&D work. VM

wow if you have this work as a select fire with a set screw or some kind of safey type of pin on the trigger then i just spent too much money on my e-mag great work guys

[Redarms]

hehe you made an idea pop in my head....how about a small top portion that hits the metal spring directly. Imagine a single and double finger trigger on the same trigger. Pull the upper trigger you get single shot, bottom trigger full auto.

Wouldnt be hard to do this one, probably easier than the cam that I was talking about earlier.


Edit hopefully this makes more sense. The top trigger would pull both triggers, but it would put force against the spring...keeping it from bouncing and going FA. The bottom trigger would only pull the spring back on the bottom, allowing it to bounce and go full auto.

so the top trigger would be like a glock trigger and the bottom one full auto that would be great, but i think no longer cheap to produce.

this is a really neat project. The custom trigger in the pics looks amazing. I don't think I've ever seen your custom work before.

[ManInBlack]

I'm still working on it. Got some thoughts I want to try out and, thankfully, a coming 3 day weekend to do it. I'll keep you guys posted if there's any progress. I've actually got this trigger on my classic RT right now

[Dawg047]

I will definately take one if you come out with these. I am a little fuzzy on how they work. So is that back piece vibrating between the pin and the trigger with tension from the set screw and the bottom of the trigger to create a wave affect on the sear pin?

[Dawg047]

Yep, ok, got it. Also, is the "wave board" piece made out of aluminum? Wonder what it would do if made out of a thicker, or a softer, or a harder piece? Just throwing ideas out? Just saying if maybe the piece was plastic or maybe stainless, wonder how it would affect the trigger?

[ManInBlack]

It's made from spring steel. It's the only thing I've found that seems strong and flexible enough to do it.
