Mech. spyder/spyder clone owners look here for simple trigger mod

[joe bob]

I was just messin around with my spyder and I found out if you put a thin washer between your gripframe and recever on each screw it will shorten your trigger pull

but you will have a lot more slack behind the trigger

i actally used paperclip segments as spacers but the right sized washer will work just as well

if the washers/whatever is installed and your bolt doesnt cock back tighten the screws that hold your gripframe on to bend the washer/whatever to conform to the marker better. the thickness of the segments i used were about 1 mm thick but mabe could go a lil thicker
this makes it so less of the sear is touching the bolt so less travel is needed


I call it the "JOE BOB TRIG MOD"


if you try it pleas post your results
i am a genius!

I just took a dremel tool and ground off half of the step at the forward bottom of the striker. To handle the slack behind the trigger, take the trigger out and put a small metal rod inside the front trigger spring. This stops the overtravel and takes some experimentation with different lengths to get right.

that would work too


but I cant get my damn trigger out

but this is simpler and if you dont like it you can change it easily

UPDATE! I had my safty on and shot my spyder with the mods on it and it still fired with no slack! just tripped the sear and CLICK! it shoots

a spyder with a 5mm trigger pull!

its true will try ti get pics and vid

Just be careful when your doing this, as I seriously damaged my finger once when the bolt wasnt cocking back, and it did that full auto non recocking thing that you get when low on gas etc, and sheared off a nice slab of my skin !! So maybe wear gloves when messing around, or just get you fingers outta the way

Or, dont turn the gas on till youre sure it works, probably might help too!

 

[joe bob]

gas + tinkering = an emty tank or sore hands

so I dont want to mess up my hands anymore than they alrady are


now im sure it works and im gonna get the safety tapped and pinned

the 5mm trigger pull does include the slack befor you can feal the sear too so I coul probly get 3

paperclips brought on the demise of the E Spyder

 

[joe bob]

then the top of my sear rounds out and and a whole co2 tank is emptied, that pissed me off

Joebob, you're saying that this mod damaged your sear and caused your safety not to function?

If not, I'm going to give it a go...but wasn't sure what you were saying there....

On a mechanical gun it is a bad idea to tinker with the trigger without gas in the gun to test it. Just because the sear is releasing the bolt, doesnt mean its working.

Also I would be dubious about reports of fantastic results because if it was that good, why dont stock spyders come like that?

Saying that I sold my spyder over 6 years ago so I wouldnt know much about them anymore.
