    Matrix owners, what kind of spring?

    What kind of spring do you matrix owners use? By what kind of spring I mean what type of pen do you use to get the spring from?

    Or, how much of the stock spring did you cut?

    Cutting the spring is all personal preference. I messed with mine for hours before I got it right. Cutting and restretching. I liked it when it got to the point that the trigger would'nt stick down with the gun pointed straight up. But a few guys at my field like their stock.

          I think the stock spring is perfect, I love my trigger.

              Yeh... but your trix was broken.. the whole time you had it :)


              Yeh, I'll probably end up going no spring.. just kinda paranoid that it'll go off randomly from a gust of wind.

                screw springs, buy toxic magnetic frame!

                When I had my spring though I just took it out like mossman did, crazy good bounce.

                  I have the stock spring. I tried without the spring, but I shoot it faster with the spring in place. IMHO, it's all about tuning the trigger travel down short, and keeping the spring strong enough to return the trigger fast.

                  See you on the field,

                      i took mine out also, ive got very little bounce really and more then enough return...
                      I can "rake" 21+ bps, get it light and short and try it (moving your fingers up and down hitting the bumps as you go) Very cool. and insane ROF.
                      stock trigger rocks. :)

                        Im with bill on that one. How it ended up working out for me was the stock spring cut down and streched to the point where about 1-1 1/2 coils were showing out of the top, and as short as humanly possible. With my gator trigger, it was extremely easy to max out the ROF by raking.

                          The new owner of my flame found out that the whole problem with the gun was kapp's inability to make regulators. The LPR was bad, that's it.

                          Even so, with the cap set at 16 on it I could shoot 16 ALL DAY with spring, and with well stretched fingers could hit 21 easily with all the settings on their fastest.


                          Godddddamn set both my trigger filters on the eblade to 8ms and this thing flies. Debounce was at 50 before and it was still sorta fast, lol.
