Concept: Multi-Angle Trigger Frame.

[Patron God of Pirates]

I'm probably making more complicated than is needed, but this is how it works in my mind:


The idea being "push and rotate" so you can swap configurations on the fly mid game.

Actually that is a VERY simple and easy idea for the frame pivot. Not overly complicated at all, also a variable detent system (similar to the pivot) using a semicircle and an angled cut off the bottom of the frame for the asa mount could actually work for your idea. I will put something up tonight.

Actually that is a good/simple design idea for the frame pivot. Not overly complicated. A similar idea could be used for a pivoting mount ASA.

i just thought of something, what about the trigger and the trigger guard? if you set the trigger and guard in "Z" form, what will happen when you pull it to a 45 position? as well as the trigger geometry(where you pull at it and where it pivots) are different from the Z to the 45. i think that is where this will either make or break this idea. on an electro, a microswitch is a microswitch and you can put them anywhere, but having a mechanical link is the crux of it.

Put the pivot point right below the sear linkage and trigger guard.

Now that I have my Y I've been thinking of how it would be sweet if the bottom 2 inches of the Y curved drastically forward. Then use a trigger that swings way forward. Gun would work great in standing and running position with you hand high on the frame. Then get tucked in and let it slide down to the bottom of the curve. So it is in almost Z position.

The pull is really the only issue with the geometry. Having a semi circle trigger fixes the issue of the frame position. Just from a simple drawling we have right now it looks like it would/should have the sear geometry of an intelliframe but the trigger pull would suffer in any position out side of the 45 position.

Great idea to bounce around, but I think the real question is would it sell more than 20 or so.
Doubtful.

True. A niche item in a niche of a niche market. It would also be much more complex to R&D and manufacture than the aftermarket trigger frames out there now. So Luke, how much for a one off?

I think that's fair

$8k

Oddly enough that was exactly the number I was expecting.
