This project is going to be FUN!

The only bad part is, its plastic. If you accually do make an electro-pneu Talon I would be afraid of it stressing out the plastic and breaking.

Good luck.  Im hoping this works so you try the e-talon.

You will find the Tigershark "plastic" is much heavier duty than the Talon plastic. (This is because it is not really a plastic, but a form of fiberglass.) As long as you don't get carried away with cutting into it, it should require no bracing other than washers under the screws to help spread the weight/stress loads.

If you have to cut into any internal metal parts (if there are any-I don't remember the TS internals very well) you should "test" the metal first to see how hard it will be to work with. I'm not sure on the TS, but on the Stingray, BE used two different types of metal on the internal parts. The older metal could be easily worked with normal tools. The newer stuff was significantly harder and could easily kill a normal drill bit.

I mentioned somewhere about checking out the STING forum for possible projects. I still recommend that as there are some Stingray trigger mods that you might find useful/applicable to your TS project.

Well, the advice from the boys over at MCB is to make it into a auto-cocking auto-trigger. But I'm dead set on e-bolting the sucker. I don't care if I'm out $300, I'm sure I can get it to work!

The 'plastic' is rather heavy duty. The old black Stingray 1's and 2's as well as the tigersharks were tough as heck. Which reminds me, I need to get my Stingray-I back from my friend back home.

I'm going to correct myself here. I said fiberglass earlier and that is not quite correct. Looking through some of my old Stingray info, I came across the term "polycarbonite resin". Either way, it's fairly tough stuff.

Fixed.
