    OK, i'm curious, CDawg:
    other than the X-valve (and on/off pin, of course), my set-up is nearly identical to yours. Once I get the X, I just need a .740 pin, right? Did you use a trigger stop, etc? or does the new on/off pin simply make the trigger pull shorter and leave no slack?
    Do you experience runaway/FA due to the new pin?
    Due to your experience with that mod, is it any harder/easier to short-stroke?or has it become (dare I say it?)impossible?

    *edit-it looks like this could have the potential to be incorporated into this lighter trigger design. If this goes well, imagine what the reprocussions could be for the paintball industry...
    Mags would finally have the respect they deserve! Other, formerly more popular, E-markers would dwindle in popularity as a dieing breed! All others would bow before us in humility and submition! AGD will rule the world!
    Well, something like that...

        Get a .745 and .740, and try them both. If you go runaway with the .740, then use the .745.

        Did you use a trigger stop, etc?

        No.

        or does the new on/off pin simply make the trigger pull shorter and leave no slack?

        There is slack, but a lot less

        Do you experience runaway/FA due to the new pin?

        Never. If properly set up, neither will you

        Due to your experience with that mod, is it any harder/easier to short-stroke?or has it become (dare I say it?)impossible?

        Never short stroked this mag in my life (no lie)

                  uhhh...

                  Tom I think you are looking at this in the wrong way, sorry I skimmed through everyone elses post but read yours...

                  Fanning actually is often used by some of the best players in the world, i mean walking and normal pull is good but I can do a 12 ball string easy just buy fanning and I still keep the gun straight wihtout it moving. So it has advantages for a back player. I on the other hand play front but i still use it when i pop over a lay down.

                  About it being 1/3 righter, so what? that is an AMAZING improvement, if you think you can amke it lighter atleast give it a try. If not 1/3 is good enough for me

                  ill be one of the first to have this thing on order.

                    its 2/3 rds lighter... the pull is 1/3 the original pull.

                        wow! i thoguht the trigger pull would be 33% lighter, but u say its more likr 66% lighter? (than it is now) thats amazing, yea tom, if u didnt need as much force to cycle, could u give the solenoid less power and make the batterpacks smaller and lighter?

                              Tom had his XMag at Paintball Sam's biggame on saturday with the super light trigger. I got a chance to play with it. All I can say is OMFG is it nice. It's super lige, nice and crips still, not sloppy at all. It's not quite as important as level 10, but with both, the result is a super light pull paintball gun that can not chop, and does not require batteries.

                              My thought is: "Where do I sign up for the first public beta? You want CC info now? Overnight that bad boy to me."

                                reactive

                                So Hexis I presume you shot it in manual mode to test the new superlight trigger... couple questions:

                                1.) how much difference did you feel between the electronic trigger and the superlight? I presume there was plenty, as electronic is insanely light, but I'd be curious to know.

                                2.) in manual with this new trigger, do you still get the reactive feel of the trigger pushing back on your finger? is it reduced or the same as a Mag with the XValve in it right now?

                                3.) and idea where exactly the Modification goes? is it something in the grip helping to pull the sear? does it replace the sear rod? is it up near the valve? what is actually causing the improvement?

                                Any light you can shed on these would be great, and if Tom mentioned when it'll be around and available we're DEFINITELY like to hear that. Thanks!
