04 Speed - I hate my trigger

[Walked]

Alright, first and foremost, I'll be completely honest - I've been playing since 2001, and I've never dealt with much of a trigger job - I've never done one aside from engaging where the trigger activates the microswitch.

This is mainly because I've never had a problem with a trigger in my life, I'm generally pretty apathetic as I can get going on most triggers - not my speed.

The trigger is too stiff. It has no play, and no give - it seems as though it takes way too much effort just to pull. I've tried toying with where it activates the microswitch, and got nowhere. I also did a little bit of toying with the spring located on the top of the trigger inside the gripframe, to no good.

What can I do to work with this?

To be fair, my favorite trigger for the most part, is on my B2k4 - its got a longish pull, with activation in the middle or so of the pull. Its also has a rather light pull.

Any suggestions? I havent played too much with the Angel trigger, and dont know where I should be looking or what I should be doing here.

Thanks!

i will tell you exactly what you need to do, the 04 speed is an awsome gun, it was my first angel but ... the stock trigger is indeed extreamly hard to get a good feel to it, the pivit point rests to far behind the pull,

the MT angel speed trigger is what you need,

The mt trigger moved the pivit point foward making it much easyer to pull from the top of the trigger, this is the one thing that made the gun for me and it look awsome as well give it a try.

No sir, I havent!

Details?

Checking out that other trigger as well, thanks!

take the circuit board out of the trigger frame after removing all plugs of course. then take a small braces rubber band (one from teeth that ppl use when they have braces) 1 or 2 will do ... just make sure that the board isnt always being activated. then replace teh board and play w/ the activation point on the trigger and the forward stop ... u will figure it out sooner or later ...

pics of doing that??

[Walked]

Yeah, pics would be fantastic. Going to give it a whirl a little later today.

Thanks.

[Squishy OWNS YOU!!]

the rubber band mode isn't needed I would just get a magnetic MT trigger job.

board on left

[gunner_75]

does this really work and how can you tell if the board is being activated?

[paintchick79]

You can tell the board is being activated if the green lights are solid (not flashing) and yes, this works VERY well.

Squishy -- Yeah, you COULD get the mag mod... and pay 25 bux plus shipping... or you could do this... which is basically free.

EDIT: I've also found a stretched out (not super stiff) tank o-ring works for this as well.

ok so leave the batt hooked up ok is this tourney leagle?

[paintchick79]

Yes, it is tourney legal. It doesn't (or shouldn't) add bounce, just lightens up the spring... a LOT
