Don't really know if it is worth it. Each to their own. I guess it is a little bling that you can brag about.

The idea I have right now shouldn't be too hard to implement.
Basically, the bottom of the spring guide stopper is going to be threaded, and you can screw it in or out slightly to raise or lower it. Or something similar. I may have a bolt go into the bottom instead.

New question- has anyone ever tried to make a trigger which uses a solenoid like mechanism to pull down the sear?

Also, is the 'bearing' on zero triggers actually a ball bearing or just a roller (metal piece with a hole in it)?



Apparently some rifles do use rollers in their triggers. For example, this-Trigger Tech Triggers

In airsoft triggers its a small ball bearing. I don't fully remember what size. I think its a 7mm.

I'll be trying to use an 'oilite' bushing which is self lubricating bronze.

Hmm might work so long as the mating surface is smooth and polished and not a cratered mess.

I will have it CNC machined, hardened, tempered and then sandblasted (hopefully, but if I can't do that then it will be simply polished).

NOOOOO, no sandblasting, polish anything that moves as you're gonna chew the heck out of anything soft, like the bushing.
But definitely feel free to sandblast the housing, that would look awesome

Sandblasting or Blackening...what do you think?

Adjustment of the stopper would be super useful. It would be really easy to adjust too. Basically move it up/down until you get a gravity returning bolt.

With the current design you could adjust by maybe half to a full cm. Would that be enough?

Also, why specifically would it help the bolt gravity return?

I have found that if the spring guide stopper sits too high or too low it pushes the spring guide into the cylinder causing wear and no gravity bolt drops.
That being said, I don't really think that gravity bolt drops are such a good thing, as that means that you have room to put in tighter guide rings or a tighter cylinder/barrel sleeve to reduce the gap between your cylinder and current rings or sleeve and improve accuracy and sound a little bit.

It just feels nice and means you aren't scraping the inside of the cylinder

I was asking why raising or lowering the Spring Guide Stopper would help it gravity return, not why gravity return is good, but @SiliconeSword already answered that above so it's okay.

I'd also a figure a way to put teflon or delrin on the sides of the stopper to reduce wear on the system

This right here. Every last trigger unit i have, regardless of what mods I have done, all have significant damage to them from my cylinder cutting into the stopper. Figure that out and ill throw money at you in a heartbeat.

I much prefer a removable stopper then a adjustable one. I would prefer multiple size stoppers order an adjustable one. This is mostly due to how my vsr-x is built. It is a massive pain in the ass to break down just to clean, lube, or change out a spring. Hence why my s-trigger has a removable spring guide stopper.

Is it the cylinder slot that rubs against the stopper?

The cylinder itself. Too much rotation during the cycling action. When I pull my vsr-x apart again I'll snap a photo.

Yup.

I will probably try using bushing brass, leaded steel, mild steel, and Delrin inserts in a friend's trigger and see how it goes.
Hopefully Plaz is wrong and didn't test some of my materials, but that's certainly not giving me hope lol
