my modded trigger on my a-5, using 2, 1/8" rare earth magnets oposing each other giving the effect of a spring http://img132.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00083cy2.jpg - [img=http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/4084/dsc00083cy2.th. jpg - http://img222.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00084fm8.jpg - [img=http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/5552/dsc00084fm8.th. jpg - http://img100.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1017886kd0.jpg - [img=http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/2800/1017886kd0.th.j pg - ------------- "FIRST THERE" a-5 16" J&J ceramic polished internals X7 low profile hopper costom painted 20 oz tank |

| So how does the return action on the trigger feel? Is it adjustable at all? |

yea i bought 3 more magnets so you can add or subtract magnets to get the return you want, and it it very smooth and light

What is the point of doing this on a single trigger?

it would prolly work better on an eletric triggetr, but it does make the pull lighter and smoother, and for only 2$ for the magnets lol

I'd be afraid to put the magnets that close to the electronics without some testing first. You know how magnets and electricity get along. |

add or subtract magnets? that just sounds like it takes too long the magnetic return on my A-5's trigger is adjustable via one magnet attached to a screw that you can turn in/out to get a heavier/lighter return with an allen key without even taking anything off or apart. ------------- Xbl:PhantomReign97

so did you look at the magnetic trigger already in use to design yours or just another users mod? why are the magnets "rare earth" what exactly is so special for your $2? |

"rare earth" are stronger magnets for there size (they get ther name from useing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_earth_element - rare earth element's ), they can allso be stronger then some bigger size magnets. -------------
