Why cant it be done???

[Muzikman]

Ok...here is the reason...

In the hump of the normal trigger there is a set screw to adjust the magnet to tell then gun when to fire (How close the trigger gets to the HES before it triggers it). You take that hump away means you can not adjust this anymore. So what does the TL trigger do to be a blade and also still be adjusted is to put this setscrew at the top of the trigger. As you adjust this screw it pivots the entire trigger back and forth which in return moves the magnet close to the HES. The reason this is not as good and my guess as to why it causes some guns to not work in mechanical mode is becuase the entire trigger moves, not just the magnet. If you adjust it too close you do not give the trigger enough forward travel to allow the trigger rod to rest. I think the people who have gotten it to work have adjusted the trigger rod (which is a no no!). It's early and I am late for work. If this makes no sense, I will fix it when I get to work.

Muzikman, you said it correctly.

The trigger rod does need to be adjusted in order for the tl63 trigger to work in mechanical mode. A lot of people don't do it. It is told that to do it will mess up the gun. In this case it is a necessity but must be done correctly. Once the trigger rod is properly adjusted, it will work in both mechanical mode and electronic.

I would like to see a blade trigger made that fills in the finger grooves and makes the trigger a little thicker front to back. This would work for me.

AGD had the trigger you describe on one of the prototype X-Mags, but it was quite unattractive. Someone may be able to find a picture and post it.

what about reversing the design.. flat on the finger side but cut out the meat on the inside... leaving a block for the magnet, screw.. screw would be flush on the front..

...MOO!

I've seen the picture of that one. I liked it and would buy one in an instant if they were to produce it.

Here is one I prototyped just to try out the idea. John Sosta then went on to cut the back of it to make it thinner at the bottom. If you can find a pic of his tequila fade gun you should be able to see it.

see...that trigger dont look so good...not nearly as good as a grooved or TL63

[RRfireblade]

Could be like this......

[punkcmonkiez]

couldent it even look somthing like this??

[manike]

I don't believe either of those will work if you want to keep the magnet hidden and with the same range of adjustment as the original. If you don't mind being able to see the magnet then they might work.

The angled edge at the bottom and rear of mine came up to the point exactly below where the magnet is. I don't think you can have it come any higher without exposing the magnet.

Not really, there isn't enough metal to hold where the magnet is, so you might accidently knock it off the adjustment screw... you could glue it on, but the magnet would be out in the open and visible. If that's not an issue you could do it.

[ben_JD]

Actually, the trigger posted by Manike is not too bad. There was an unfortunately unattractive trigger on a tequila fade mag. I love the idea, but the magnet is just too fat.

i still dont see what the big deal is... cant the magnet just be housed in an extrusion off the back of the trigger...
