I'm pretty sure he's out of the game now.

He actually didn't really enjoy making the triggers for people, since he's always been extremely busy with work and such. I don't blame him for dropping out. I've talked to him several times before on ASR, years ago though, and that was his main complaint. In fact, he hasn't even logged into his account since.... August 13, 2011 to be exact.

There's still plenty of viable options out there. If you're looking to buy, there's the Action Army z-trig that is budget friendly. And if you're looking to DIY, I'm pretty sure the M-trig is likely modeled after the L96 trigger mechanism. He used neodymium magnets (the M in M-trig) instead of springs to return the sears back to rest. With a little innovation and planning, along with the tools and skills, I'm sure it can be replicated.

I highly doubt that you will get sued by him.

I mean, when it comes to triggers or really anything that is basic, there should be no reason for there to be any sort of copyright issues. You'd have to replicate the exact dimensions and things like that in order for there to be any potential of an issue.

Also, I know Noobie. He's not a guy who even cares about legal issues like that. He sold his triggers at such a low price, yet puts in so much work to do it all, and with what little free time he had. Even if you did copy him, I highly doubt that he'd even care, nor would have the time to sue you.

If your design does end up looking like his and you're worried, just say explicitly state that you didn't mean to copy him, it's just what you think is the best design, and your design was "inspired" by his.
