AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Although, I ended up with 5 shims in there (and might put another... can u sub in one lvl10 shim for two ult shims?).
Out of the box, I was disappointed (chuff chuff). So I added shims, one at a time as the directions said. With each shim, the trigger seemed to gimme less and less chuffing! :) Anyway, I'm at 5 shims now and it's still not going into full auto or double firing. Trigger pull is AWESOME. It's soooo much better. Of course, the "holy grail" would be to have that pull with more reactivity. U do lose some, but it seems that the more shims I added, the happier I became.
To make a long story short, once u get it tuned to your liking, you won't be disappointed with the ULT.
Originally posted by QUINCYMASSGUY And I do think a trigger stop would be beneficial in the back end of the stroke, but I am wary about a front one. If Tom Kaye says bad idea (or in his words, hummm, more bolt being bought or whatever it was he posted a couple weeks back) I'd believe him. We'll see what happens with the back stop though.
ok i installed front and back stops today...just for the heck of it...
let me just say that it's really not worth it...
you can use the front stop to take about a hair out of the pull(don't want any chipped bolts) but thats about all...
and you can get the pull pretty short with the back stop but
you can't disassemble the gun without tools...
the trigger rod has to be pushed almost all the way in to push the pin up and out of the way so you can slide the valve out...
i have it set as short as possible with still being able to get my gun apart without tools...it's probably only about 1/4" shorter(bottom of the blade on my i-frame)

oh ya
and i got mine ult in...btw
it's sweet...
i'll probably be tuning it some more but overall it rocks
i even drilled out my 1 o-ring retro valve myself...
i used a 3/8" forstner bit on a drill press
seemed to work pretty well except i think i dulled it out on the stainless
oh well an $8 dollar bit was still cheaper than $50 at a machine shop
let me just say though
if you plan on attempting this...be careful
disasseble your valve all the way...if you don't youre gonna wreck your orings
make sure you have a way to clamp down your valve extremely tight
make sure it's level so the bit goes in easily and doesnt bind
use a slow drill speed, this is stainless after all..
use oil and work slowly...
i just did a little at a time until the step was gone
most importantly...
when you're done, there's going to be chips everywhere inside your gun...
blow it out, hose it out, stick q-tips in every hole
maybe even a pipe cleaner into the smaller rt chamber hole
most importantly... the dump chamber collected a ton of grime... i had to use about 15 q-tips, bending the ends over so i could reach every part of it
overall i think i was more scared than anything
i didnt want to ruin such an expensive part...
but in reality i was rather easy to do...just had to be very careful and very thorough

Umm, well, use a credit card, stick it in there and push the rod back. Or a paper clip. Or something.
Sadly the mag is gone, moved on to an LCD Trix

right
well it's not really a big deal
but i imagine it's the reason why Tom doesn't endorse the use of trigger stops
point is...you really can't reach it with your fingernail or anything...
so if you had to take it apart say... in the middle of defending a castle...
you better make sure you got your leatherman/gerber multi-tool handy
