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

[joe bob]

no i tested it and it worked for a short while but since the sear screwed up its back to normal configuration

yea the safty did not work anymore but it proved as a trigger back stop (a barrel condom/plug would have been my safety)

but I dont know how my sear got messed up

Yeah, i'd be careful Joe Bob, if you do this it means that the sear is only very slightly holding the bolt, which means if the screws are loosened AT ALL or the sear wears just a fraction of a mm then the gun will beat down (go full auto), which is dangerous and means you need to fix it all very quick (at least with recball you have tools in your battlepack to fix it )

John C this is the reason they don't do this stock, because it works when set up but can be unreliable if you don't know what you're doing...

 

[joe bob]

I know what im doing and what went wrong, now im goin to try and fix it

Joe...

What type of trigger are you using? is it an electric or normal?

 

[Pump'n'Splat]

A bit off the point, but as it's been mentioned (e-trigger).....can I get a Spyder Xtra upgraded to an electric trigger, and if so, where in the UK can I get this done?

I like the sound of joebob's mod, but it sounds a bit..erm.."experimental" at the minute

Cheers

The cheapest way would be to import from the states. I know the company that sells the Dragun (M3) sell the trigger frame on theirs for about $80. Just Paintball may be able to import it?
Hope this helps,

 

[joe bob]

yess its still experemental, but on another forum where I posted this, everyone either liked it or didnt know how to do it

its a lot cheaper to do than buying a e grip and its not permanite either

Ok,

No luck so far on finding an electric trigger for the Spyder Xtra, I guess I'm going to actually have to ask Just Paintball if they can import it...

As for the trigger mod....I've switched my trigger frame from the Xtra as it was a bit worn, with a mate's mint but malfunctioning, Sonix, this left a bit more play in the trigger than the Xtra's frame, though they're pretty much identical and I thought I could use joebobs mod to get rid of the play and also get a more responsive trigger.

I got hold of some Fibre washers from an auto spares shop (very thin and compressable) and have fitted them under the grip frame and screwed the bolts in tight. The safety still locks the trigger, but when I take the safety off and move the trigger a millimetre, it releases the sear. Gives a more responsive trigger but wont cause the problems Joebob seems to be reporting!

So Fibre washers and a sonix gripframe seem to be the answer

Hmmmm... You may be pushing it with Just, I asked them to get a bolt for a BE Raptor in about a year ago, gave up calling them to see if they had it in yet about 6 months ago...

Cheers Azz, I might try havoc, they seem to have a few clues when it comes to Spyders....

..then again, I've just won a sweet little automag off E-bay, so the Spyder might get put to one side for a while
