    The "New" Old School

    Got my Gmek frame in today.

    Turns the Planet Eclipse Gtek into a mechanical marker.

    Not as nice a trigger as I had hoped, but better than a cocker slider.

    Does have a slight bit of front to back slop like a mag does sometimes.

    Looking forward to playing with it.

    I think there are trigger adjustment screws that can take that up.

      Played with adjusting the two screws a bit but any changes weren't noticeably.

      Still have yet to play with it, I did shoot some in the back yard and it is fun to shoot.

          No I actually almost like it.

          100 times better than the slide on that other one I bought....

          With a little practice they will be telling me I'm firing too fast.

          But I do have to have that Emek with the hinge frame too.

          And a CS2 while I'm at it....

          Love me some gamma core.

                  Cracks me up...
                  10 years ago planet eclipse was selling an e frame for the autococker toting it as the baddest thing on the planet.
                  Now they are selling a mech frame for a electric gun...

                  Just me? No one else see the irony?

                    It's the cyclic world. As common place as it was 12 years ago to electrofy a cocker, electros are now the norm and being in abundance. Plus, PE does not have a mech in their stable, so it makes sense in R & D to have a gun that can be switched from the base to mech.

                    Zondo, also before you go wanting a double trigger for it, shoot it. I didn't like it, as it was close to a cocker slider but different enough that i personally didn't like it.

                      My opinion the trigger is way better than a cocker, I can't tolerate a cocker slider at all.

                      But it doesn't surprise me that we have opposite views.

                        Used the Gmek today all day.

                        Thought I would be getting outgunned but that didnt happen.

                        Glad I got it, fun to shoot.

                          How does trigger compare to a mech mag with stock RT/X, OR AIR valves? How about ULT?
                          From a poster at PB Nation:

                          ""Jim, back to your cave. Bob Long is on the batphone..."

                            I never used a single trigger on a mag enough to compare to be honest.

                            Its much softer than a new (hardly used) cocker slider I can say that....
