    Where do you find something like that?

      I used an old Bansaw blade. It's a big one, so I think I've got enough of the stuff for a couple hundred triggers.

        is there any way to modify a stock blade trigger from an intelliframe to do this? Man that is an awesome idea!

          No, this is not possible, you won't be able to put enough room between the trigger and the the end of the sear rod to allow the mechanism to function properly.
          The way it looks, ManInBlack is not going to be able to move forward with this, and if anyone is interested, then I'll be willing to make them a blank where they can play around with different parts of steel. If there is enough interest, then I would make a batch as seen in the video's here:



          I will not sell complete trigger, as I am not in a position to test and fit them. If I can generate enough interest, say between 20-30 triggers, then I could say I'd do it for around 40$ per trigger.

            That seems like the best way to do it. The more I play with it the more I realize that each trigger needs to be tuned to a specific gun. If I were to go forward with making these I would need everyone to send me there gun to tune it. I just don't have the time. I'll just take credit for this particular design and give MagHog the credit for making them look beautiful.

              No doubt MIB, your modification of this design warrants credit. I would have loved to have done this with you, and I'm not really even out to do this for the money because I really won't make much. It's just if you look at this thread, there are definitely more than a few people who would love this trigger.
              Let's let them have it, as long as they know they're going to have put in a bit of grit themselves.

                I'm guessing you need a way to control the stiffness of your flat spring. A decent test rig would be an RT setup with an adjustable regulator (you think?). Varying the pressure from no RT to full pressure should give an acceptable span I would think.

                  It's more that each gun is different. I have set screws in mine to vary the spring stiffness *a little* but a lot of it was shaving the spring down to the right size to provide as close to the correct stiffness as possible. I moved the working autotrigger from one gun to another and could not get it to work. Same air, same type of frame, no go.

                    This is similar to the original RT Enhancer design. It's a finicky thing, needing a lot of time to tweek. Once you get it though, it runs and runs and runs and runs.

                      So if you do indeed make and sell these, would you include the spring steel piece with the trigger?

                        No, this I would not do. I would provide a blank that would have no threaded holes, steel or any other settings. It would just be a raw piece for you to modify.
