I was going to put this in the Tech forum, but its not really a tech issue since everything is working... Anyways.
I got a Boo-yah Mag frame for my marker. I was rather apprehensive about the e-frames (boo-yah or hyper) so I actually bought 2 for a total of $150. I figured that despite all the various issues people have listed on this and other sites I should have not trouble getting a working setup from the 2 frames. So both my new frames arrive in the mail today and I eagerly check them out and see they both are in working order (my main concern). I picked the nicer looking of the 2 frames and started installing. I used a little common sense for changes with the sear and had it on the marker within about 15 mins. I reinstalled my x-valve, aired up the marker and dry fired some test shots into a pillow.
Much to my surprise it was working! I did see some trouble with the noid not reseting all the way on some shots so I consulted the manual that I saw online. After removing 1 shim and slightly adjusting the noid forward I reassembled and tested again. This time it worked great, firing every time. I fired about 50-60 shots with perfect results. Also, the sear is not resting on the noid pin so I see no way that the sear or bolt should have issues with wear, though time will tell for sure.
I bought the Boo-yah frame with my mind set on working through the problems and making it run, but in the end I hardly had to touch it to get it going. The things I have read that I can confirm as true are the following...
- the grips suck - I'll be getting some aftermarket grips very soon (*edit* when I say the grips suck, I mean that they do not hold their shape and to not properly seal the electronics... at all. They are actually quite comfortable for my large hands)
- the trigger is huge - I've never seen a trigger so wide, and the point for the double is annoying. Its going to be some work but with a file and a dremmel this is easy to fix.
Other than those items it appears to be a good product. Of course I'll have to use it for a while before it gets a full thumbs up, but so far its on my A list.
And now, back to the question that started this post. Am I lucky and just happened to get an e-frame that works right, or and I just that good?
PS -I'll add a pic tomorrow.
