I'm switching to my new AKA double trigger frame on my Eclpise LED, and I can't figure out how to get the old frame off. There is what looks like a hard air line running from the reg to the front of the stock frame. How to I disconnect this, without breaking it?

What you have to do is unscrew the reg and then take the ASA off with the appropriate allen key. When you've done that... you can take the gripframe off.

Ok, I have everything apart, but I'm having problems with the new trigger, and the micro switch. The WDP lightning trigger depresses the micro switch as soon as the holes line up enough to push the trigger pin through, so the switch is constantly activated. I even tried turning the micro switch upsided down (as per the directions of an Angel Tech), and that didn't work either. I've messed with all of the screw adjustments on the trigger, but it actually looks like it's the back of the trigger itself (and not the screw) that's pushing in the switch too far. What can I do?

it does sound like the screws in the trigger are causing the trigger to activate the switch.

The only other thing I could suggest is to remove the metal tab that acts as a lever against the switch. Mine had fallen out of my LED and I was able to get my trigger insanely short after it was gone.

What does the screw in teh top of the trigger do? It doesn't even look like it's contacting anything

there are 2 screws...the one that's way down inside the long part of the trigger this adjusts your activation point, then there's the one that's towards the top and back of the trigger this is your overtravel screw. It hits the body of the marker to stop the amount of travel after the activation of the switch. The switch in the bottom of the trigger that is hitting the grip frame is the important one for setting your pull, then you just have to make sure the one in the top of the trigger doesn't hit the body to early or you won't get any pull out of it.

I just don't see how the bottom screw sets the activation point, because it's the actual backbone of the trigger (well above the set screw) that contacts the switch. Have I don't something wrong?

because as you screw that screw down it pushes the length of the trigger away from the grip frame and more towards the switch...the closer to the switch it is the shorter the activation point...

you might be needing to put some pictures up if you're having this many problems, pictures are easier to troubleshoot.

OK, the LED triggers are the same ast the LCD, correct? Everyone I talked to told me that, and even the package that the WDP trigger came in says "Lightning Trigger for LED/LCD. BUT:

It's a good 3mm longer than the LED trigger that was in there. WTF?

No, I have both a single trigger frame, and a double trigger frame. The length I'm talking about is from the trigger pin (that's pushed through both triggers), and the back bone of the triggers.

try unscrewing the one that is down inside the hole. it will let the trigger go forward a little. plain and simple.

the screw down in the hole works like this. screw it in it makes the trigger move back a little out makes the trigger go forward a little.

I've tried it from one extreme of adjustment to the other, and it keeps the switch depressed at all times. I guess I wasted my money on that damn AKA trigger frame.

I think you may be forced to file the backbone down a bit... But make sure there is no other way to do the triggerjob, 'cause the filing could cause the trigger to get ☼☼☼☼ed up.

I have a Ladytrigger, and had to file it down to make it work. The difference is that I have the original gripframe, so I don't know if the AKA one has the micro switch at the same position as the original one.

Any suggestions? I honestly don't think I should file the trigger down that much, because it'll go into the threads for the set screws. Do I have any other options?
