I recently purchased an Icon E, although it has an electronic trigger with
adjustable pull I find it is still lacking, and virtually impossible to walk it. It seems that the travel on the switch within the trigger handle has a fairly long pull and can't be adjusted. Is the stock Icon E trigger the same as the Spyder E trigger? It sure as hell looks it to me, but I don't want to spend money to find out. Secondly, is there an aftermarket trigger available for Spyders which can be adjusted to enable me to walk it? |

You could try the mod I did on my 32 Degrees frame, if you're comfortable with a drill press. It's easy. Take the trigger frame off. The triggers should have a block in front of the hinge pin that just keeps the trigger from moving too much by stopping it against the body. Mark where the block ends, then take the trigger off. Make a dot just a bitcloser to the hinge pin, so the trigger block would cover it if you put it back in. Go to Home Depot, Lowes, your choice of harware stores. Find the thinnest allen-head set screw you can find, and get several different lengths. Get a drill and tap set that matches the screw. Strap the frame into the drill press, find that mark, and drill it. Tap it, replace the trigger, and put the screw into the new hole. With the allen head pointing down out away from the body for ease of adjustment. From there, slap the frame back on, and adjust the screw inward until it won't shoot anymore. Back it out until it just starts shooting reliably again. (for example, my 32* frame would have a 'mouse click' semi-auto, but wouldn't fire in reactive mode). Put a drop of blue Loctite on it, screw it in, and adjust it quickly before the loctite dries. If there's an adjustment for the overtravel already and it's just the microswitch, I know you can buy them, but you'd have to solder stuff. It's relatively easy, but I'm a wiz with mechanical parts and machines, not electronics. |

Centerflag makes some nice electronic frames. I've been using one now for
over 4 years and even though its "capped" at 13bps the new ones arent. I have one installed on a Compact, a Piranha and a Minimag all 3 rock.

Check-It Products has the "Sweet Spot" line of adjustable triggers for Spyders, Black Draguns, Timmys, etc. I have one for my old Black Dragun which reduced the pull to about the distance of a mouse click (*very* short). You can read the reviews at: http://pbreview.com/products/reviews/1591 WWW.Paintballgateway.com currently has them for $17.95 + shipping. |
