what kind of double triggers can i put on my tribal? where can i get them?

warpedmephisto · 05-22-2003, 11:46 AM

Only Tribal triggers will work. Rich (me262) has some blade triggers that he made up. Pmicocker also has some triggers I think.

6061 is ideal. 2011, 2024, 7075 will not look like 6061 when finished

from Whitewolfairsmithing.com. Which of these types of aluminum is tribal?

snoman2730 · 05-28-2003, 05:27 PM

if i had to guess i would say 6061 or 7075

Jakesak, why would you need to polish the inside of the ram, if the rod only slides on the o-ring that is inside the ram? It seems like you would only need to polish the rod. Just a thought, not a complaint

Thanks,
Edwin

First take out the ram. (if you dont know, post so we can tell you). Clean it off, see if you can take off the hammer connected to the rod. If so take it off and take off the treaded end on the ram. Next the rod will fall out or you will need to take it out. Clean off every thing. Take polish and make it shine. NOTE: if you have a dremal, this should be easy, put a attachment on and polish everything, it might get messy so do it in a can or box of sort. For polishing the inside of the ram, take a qtip and attach it on the dremal and go at it. Now you can polish the inside of the body if you want. What I did was take a large shochacbob(wooden stick about 1 foot long) and put a cloth at the end and polish the inside. Make sure you get all the stuff out before puting the ram back in. NOw that you have it nice slice and shiny, put RED (thanks Blue ) loctite on the rod that connects to the hammer, put the hammer on. NOTE: make sure the rod is INSIDE THE RAM when loctiting it. let it dry. Put lube on it and put it back in. It should be a nice and smooth action.

God I hate school!

POLISHING THE INSIDE OF THE RAM HELPS IN THE HOLE THAT IT SLIDES IN

"sweet spoting" the reg, how is it done.

jakesak · 06-09-2003, 01:17 PM

Sweet spotting is when you find the optiomum output pressure of the reg. Turn your reg down some, chrono, turn it up, dry fire it some, chrono, turn it up, dry fire, ........ once you peak (aka you turn it up and the velocity drops) turn it back where it was at before and slowly turn the pressure up until it peaks again. Thus you will find the best place for the reg. Most people will do this for cockers, as you can change the spring pressure from the rear of the gun.

if i had a leaky cup seal could that cause me to hear a small leak near the noid that wasnt being caused ny the noid? but by air flowing that direction? or am i just stupid?

warpedmephisto · 06-16-2003, 11:57 PM

A leaky cup seal will cause air to leak out the breech of the gun. Blue wrote a wonderful troubleshooting section on grip frame leaks at: http://www.airsoldier.com/technotes/...e4/index.shtml

andrew malaney · 06-25-2003, 02:49 PM

when i shoot full atuo with my bbt i will be holding my trigger back. but when i let go and the trigger springs forward and the gun keeps firing. any ideas on how to fix?

pmicocker · 06-25-2003, 03:00 PM

check the trigger screw it may be out to much not allowing the microswitch to go to closed position

pyrofireguyperson · 06-26-2003, 02:47 PM

does anyone know where i could see the thory of operation for a tribal? You know the schematics that move and stuff.

andrew malaney · 06-26-2003, 04:35 PM

how do you remove the micro switch?

ocelot213 · 06-26-2003, 05:12 PM

knock out the two small pins from the right side to the left side. then remove the entire electronics harness.

What was the idea of two ball detents?? One in front of the ball, one in back. Won't the bolt hold the ball in place?

warpedmephisto · 07-10-2003, 12:59 PM

It was to prevent roll back. Since most all Tribals came with an open face bolt, it allowed the ball to roll back into the bolt and cause another ball to almost come halfway into the breech. With the 2 ball detents arranged like that, it kept the ball from rolling back into the bolt and kept it centered under the feedtube better.

Pr0digy · 07-16-2003, 12:22 PM

Watch out when you assemble everything back together. All pieces must fit together right and make sure the the slots were the screws go are right, otherwise this WILL happen...

edwin247 · 07-21-2003, 01:16 PM

Is this a Tribal Ram with snap ring?
I would think that the snap ring should replace the threads so you don't have to use Locktite?
