The Dye frame has the intelli mounts MeanMan, screw holes are tapped and all.
I can't see where this is an upgrade but meh.
Last question.

nothing bad but a few said no change.
Also paintless body. Sorry for the vid still, my camera is down.

I honestly don't know much about the HL regs. If I remember correctly, they had the 8 hole mod? Think about cutting down the feedneck tube. It will bring the hopper down a bit. Makes it less wonky feeling imo.

8hole mod was supposed to give better regulation or something, I think. A lot of this stuff is old, so they were the shiznit 10 years ago and that is before my time. Some guy on AO was selling a couple of them a few months back, and I saw a couple of posts after asking about them. Didn't read the answers though.
I guess, I meant the Dye is an upgrade in that is isn't the stock CF single trigger frame. I personally am a fan of double triggers, so IMO it's an upgrade. I have seen some posts complaining that they tended to feel sloppy though, and they don't seem to fetch the same resale as the Intelliframe. I personally have no experience with them, but have seen them popping up lately. I actually bid on a marker awhile back and had to rescind my bid because it ended up having a dye frame instead of the intelli, but only because I had plans on parting it out.

oh ah, I imagined the Dye frame was replacing the Intelliframe. Sorry, I didn't think of single trigger frames. I'm such a mag newb it's embarrassing.

^^^ By no means am I and expert on Mags yet. I can ID a lot of parts/upgrades, but actually teching them is another thing. Still in the asking questions phase myself on AO.

Finished, but RT is slow, I'll have to research that.

"Slow" as in "not fast."
![]() I guess he could have meant slow as in an uber-lib who doesn't realize/admit his far left-wingedness and gets upset/offended when treated in a milder version of the same way he treats others. |

And I guess slow as in it isn't RT'ng, slow to reset...? Tin, you may need to get an adjustable tank for it to really RT. I use an adjustable Centerflag reg and have it set around 950-1k. It bounces pretty well. Not so much on a non-adjustable. Oddly enough, it all depends on the valve. Some just seem to bounce more than others.
If it is recharging slowly, make sure you have it turned up enough and watch the space between the back of the trigger and the pin. It should be adjusted out so that there is about a business cards space when gassed up. Edited by oldpbnoob - 03 October 2009 at 2:27pm |

Slight topic change; TinMan you really have to let us know how the first firing of the F/A goes. (Thoughts, impressions, etc.)
I have always thought that firing an R/T rapidly ("full-auto") was more satisfying than the full-auto setting on any electro. I also think that firing my F/A with it's mech full-auto beats the heck out of the R/T for pure, unadulterated, visceral fun. |

Oh man, I'm a mess.
OPBN, after looking through AO I realized I didn't have an RT sear.
It acted like a Tippmann RT with a leak, it just nudged my finger but not enough to reset it.
I located a sear and am waiting for a reply.
Mack, I haven't shot it yet. I'm still in the cuddling stage, petting it and calling it "my precious" .

You don't need an RT sear since you don't have an RT rail. I know, its confusing. Are you getting bolt stick? |

No, not bolt stick. I think your right, just low pressure. I'll try my Evil tank.

Most of my mag valves will not go very deep into the tank. My Classic will go down to maybe 800 or so, all the others pretty much stop working around 900psi. RT sears only go with RT rails, but you do not have to have an RT rail with an RT valve. Or a RT sear with an RT valve. Unless it's a classic RT and then it must be a classic RT rail. In fact, an RT sear will not fit the rail that you have.... I can post up some pics if you need.

All your sear info is right OPBN, thanks a lot.
I'll set my Evil Scion on 950 and see if that does it.

Just wanted to make sure you didn't spend the 25 or so on a new sear you didn't need....
