    Check to see if the T-Rex mounting screw is loose.
    Also, if you have a different safety try it.

    These are extremely close tolerances so a difference in the safety could cause an issue.

    All units were pretested before shipping so I'm curious what you find.

    Did you replace the trigger pin with a longer one?

      I'll check the mounting screw and I think I may have a new safety I can try. The current safety is older so it is possible that could be causing it.

      I never bothered with getting a longer trigger pin after I saw this trigger.

      Do I need the magnets in the frame or trigger or can they be completely removed?

        Definitely don't need the magnets, you could even replace the magnet in the trigger with 1/8" round metal and still adjust the frame magnets.

        If you have an 1/8" drill bit (or a tad smaller) you could cut the tip off it and stick it in the end of the trigger. Just make sure there's no burrs so it doesn't get stuck.

        We may have to file a smidgen off the trigger rod if the other safety does not stop it from firing .

          I'm sure I have an extra 1/8th drill bit floating around somewhere. I actually like that idea as I can still adjust the force through the frame magnet if I want.

          I'll have a buddies mag that I know has a safety in it, I'll try that one out if I can't find my new one before I get into filing the trigger rod down.

Might be for a week or so because I am working a lot lately but I will get something up to soon.
            That would be cool. With the limited video this far on the OLTR just seems like a regular pneumag flies a bit quicker?

              Yep this is a winner winner chicken dinner. Like both the magnets and the small trigger travel. I feel the magnets provide the crispness to the trigger that makes if more of a traditional firearm feel.

                Did you test the safety with the marker aired up?

                  If all else fails you can send me the frame and I'll dial it in for you.

                    Oh no.......just aired it up and I'm finding the same thing that BLanche75 did, it will still fire with the safety engaged. He describes it well, "the pull is stiffer but it will still shoot."

                      I wonder is AGD changed safety specs somewhere along the road? I tested all the triggers before they shipped and they worked perfect. Do you have another safety you can try?

                      I can remachine/fix the triggers, I just need the data.

                        I measured 4 AGD safeties and my CAD file and all 5 are exact.

                        If you guys can't find the problem I'll need you to send in your frames for me to look at, that's about all I can suggest.

                        I will state again though, check the screw on your T-Rex mount and make sure it didn't loosen.

                          I checked the screw for the OLTR and it is tight. My extra safety wasn't where I thought it was so I have to try to hunt for it.

                          I'm not sure if this will help but here is a quick video showing what is happening. With the safety on I can move the trigger about 1mm or so and that is enough to fire the marker. It is definitely harder to pull the trigger but it moves just enough to shoot.



                          On a positive note I pulled out the magnets and good lord did that make a huge difference. Even with my slow fingers I was shooting as fast as I can shoot any modern electro. I'll take a shooting video tomorrow during the day.

                            If you want to send me the frame I'll dial it in, looks like I need to machine the trigger packet a tad.

                              I have another safety I can try but I'm out of air. From the looks of the video BLachance75 just posted, mine behaves the exact same. My safety that is currently installed is brand new from AGD. I purchase it probably 1yr ago when I originally purchase your version 1 vert frame. I do have a older safety I can try when I get my air filled.

                              For sake of discussion, what are your thoughts about addressing this variability similar to the logic trigger. It has a Allen screw that is the contact point for the pin of the T-Rex. I'm not sure what I think concerning the discussion, just thought I'd put it out there. I like the adjustability it provides, but with an Allen screw it might screw up the smooth shape/slope I currently has. The Allen screw may hang up on your finger weird?

                                Yes a set screw will work to adjust the trigger pin but it shouldn't be necessary with everything dialed in properly. I really wanted to avoid all set screws on this design because they tend to move. Putting a thread lock on them can lead to hassles also. I'm limited in what I can figure out without the frames in my hands and the parts to measure. I could tell you how to fix it but I would rather get to the bottom of it so I can make corrections on all the triggers. There are actually 3 fixes but I really don't want to go there until I certain whats going on.
