It's not that hard. I've done it to mine and it's really short (got a lazy trigger finger) but still safe (no bouncing shots).

Go over your Angel's manual or http://angel-owners.com/index2.htm[/URL] , it pretty much guides you over the disassembly/assembly procedure.

Just take extra care when re-attaching the grip to the main body, as you could damage the connecting wires.

The ****ty part is that you have to put the grip against the main body every time you have to check if the trigger operates the micro-switch (that activates the electronics)correctly (it's try-and-error method).

The adjustment is really just setting two Allen screws that limit the travel distances of the trigger:

- Over travel, top screw: How much the trigger presses into the micro-switch. Turn counterclockwise to shorten this travel distance, but not to much or the micro-switch won't click-on (gun won't fire).

- Return stroke, bottom screw with a spring on top: How much the trigger goes back after clicking the switch. For lazy guys like me, keep this short. Too short and the switch will not click-off (reset) meanning the gun would only fire once.

Hell... sorry for this long description. Hope it helps.

You said you want it lighter not shorter right? Well the easiest way is to take the grips off and remove the frame from the body. The return spring can be cut one coil at a time to find that ultimate tension. I recommend you do it till you think it feels good and not one more cause you may not like the next coil removed! You can also do half coils till the tension is just right! If you can't figure it out and you are ever in my area Suffolk I will help you for free!:D

If you don't want to cut the spring you can also wind the spring clockwise over the set screw.
Take of your frame and wind the screw clockwise this will give you a slightly lighter pull!
Personally I cut mine, its very sweet! :D:D

Wicked buddy! Yeh i think everyones getting down there for about 9ish. I dont think Clives gonna be around all day so Ecstacy + Knights should be training together for most of the day. Were probably gonna be doin some 5 on 3s, 3 on 1s, etc, shooting drills, and some endgame stuff probably. (Whatever Twizz and Webby devise for us on the day!).

Cya Sunday dude. Should be a good 1....
