I say stay with the old Z style and just mod the inside to accept the Intelle conversion. Much easier.

Well, it could be used as a roller trigger frame. If you want to operate it normally, you'd have to tilt the trigger for it to work properly. The frame just doesn't work with the trigger.
I'm guess you rushed this design tom... Just think about it. Hold your hand at that angle and then try to fire the trigger normally. If you make an adjustible trigger without telling us I'll sell my co2 tank and buy a flatline (oh wait, i'm already doing that)

mill some finger grooves into the front of the trigger frame below the trigger guard, and then just use some pannel grips like the Z-grip... or just Re-Manufacture the z-grip... so many people like them... i love the feel of them, but i never was able to get ahold of one

I may just be confused, but wasn't the original idea of the Y-Frame to make a Z-Grip-like E-Mag grip? Maybe I'm just remembering events wrong. If it's just a Z-Grip's little brother with intellifeed mount, who really cares? I love my original Z, and I wouldn't change the angle for anything. Unless AGD can find a way to make they Y-Frame electro, I think it would be better just to make the run of Intellli-Z's. (Would anyone here who would buy a non-electro Y-Frame NOT buy an Intelli-Z if that was the option? Probably my opinion doesn't speak for all, just tell me if I'm way off.)
EDIT: In anycase, panel grips are fine. Like someone posted earlier, most people wear gloves. Just make the panels rubberized and everyone will be happy enough.

If the intelli-z is cheaper than the y frame, i want the intelli-z. This is because the y-frame isn't very thought out from what we know so far. Fix the trigger problem.

Can somebody remind me why the angle of the original Z-grip was thrown out? I own a Z-grip myself, and I find the angle to be very comfortable. I wanted to see a modified version ( I remember talk of the Intelli-Z a while back) instead of a whole new design. This reminds me of the IR3 grip, which I really do not like as far as looks or feel are concerned.
Am I the only one that doesn't like the look of this compared to the original Z? I had planned on selling my Z-grip and getting one of the new ones, but now I might just end of not buying one of these at all

it took em a really long time to sell off the first batch of z's...
anyway, if these are available for classic RT, i'd definitely conisider it : )Comment

obviously it will never work that way, since the DYE grips are for a 45 frame, and the Y frame is definitely not. Why not use DYE panels backwards???Comment

Lookin' good AGD
Screw the dye grips, or job it out to frymarker
I guess having heather make like a bajillion grips would be a bit lame... I guess the people who want them ( me included) can go get custom grips from her.
Go with panels, and chug some of these puppies out
oh, and hurry with my ULE body please My mainbody-less RT needs sexiness

WDP got it right with the space frame. It's the most versatile.I like potatoesComment

well I don't know if this would work but its not that hard to get a black fill substance and fill in the screw holes that won't work and place new ones in. other than that this is the cut work I could concieve that would not interfere with trigger travel. but maybe its not feasible just my .02Comment

Am I correct in assuming that this frame is simply a backwards 45* frame? If so, get some simple grip panels, and put them on backwards...(put the right panel on the left side of the frame...etc...)
Still, I would definately prefer an IR3-style frame. And what about snatch/fang grips on the back of the frames? we should have those, too.

*Sigh* Here's what two hours of cracking my head on a wall and staring at this thing came up with.
The trigger would be have to be redesigned so that a section of it stuck out to push the sear back. Although I'm guessing you guys and AGD already thought of that when you first designed the Z-grip, right??
There are a few problems with my idea though.
1)Installation would be a pain with the trigger in the way.
2) The mini drop may not accept some CA adaptors like the duck bill (though it can be solved if you cut the drop properly).
Other then that, I can't see too many problems... I think.~The Wanderer~Comment

here's another way to make room for stickies...make it old skool custom style-don't connect the trigger guard at the bottom...
ask Glenn Palmer(or his son Craig)...they'll know exactly what i mean...
