I don't think it will hurt anything. On my pm6...there is a gap like that when I put a UL frame on it. It hasn't hurt anything and i've been playing with the pm6 for 2 years like that. As long as the gap isn't HUGE...you know.

Yeah, I can see a bit of light in the eye cover area though. On the blue one
I could see light between frame/body when I got it, but I tightened down the
screws and now it's gone. When I disassembled/reassembled the black on I
could also see light, but after re-adjusting the eye covers I was able to fully
screw down the frame to the body.
I think it's just a fit/tolerance issue that is extremely hard to avoid with this
kind of design. I have seen other guns that are MUCH worse. My SLG easily
had enough room to slight in a piece of paper.

You only have to remove the board if you want to flip or replace the rail ... you can slide the RAPS on the rail without removing the board

As for those of you with gaps between frame/body
Loosen both frame screws so the frame has some wiggle room and see if when held together that gap is still there ... if its gone, well you didnt tighten the screws evenly and one is pulling against the other, causing the gap.
So, if the gap goes away all you need to do is tighten the screws evenly and your problem should be fixed
Also watch for the eye wires getting in the way as well as the eye covers (Putting the covers on after the frame is attached solves that issue)

Your rail isn't built in? I have to remove the board to loosen the set screws enough to slide the RAPS.

Even so, why wouldn't you use the built in one? Makes it a hair shorter.

The built in rail doesnt fit all ASAs ... my Airport wouldnt fit at all on the stock rail (which is why I was using the SP Rail) ... my Hybrid does so thats what Im using (currently)

Dangit, I was hoping they had actually fixed that. Oh well, the new RAPS is on of the best ASA's out there, IMO.

FYI, the Radioshack magnets fit perfectly in the G3:
Jury is still out on whether or not they feel any better though. At this point they basically feel identical to stock

Hmmm my Fusion kit is ALOT stiffer than my Threshy kit and I was debating which to use on the iQ ... I have a feeling the Fusion kit will definitely be the way to go

xluben - I was not at all a fan of the radio shack magnets in my IQ, however it was the only way myself and the rest of my team was able to eliminate bounce.

Fusion kit in the Fusion, and Threshy kit in the Threshy?
Or both kits in the iQ?
They're not going to feel the same due to differences in spacing between
the frame and the trigger (at least I don't think these spacings are the same).
I loved the Rendition kit in my F8. It was pretty stiff, but felt sooo smooth.

I have not had any problems with bounce with the stock spring or magnets.
All DP guns will slow pull bounce, but if they only shoot one ball per pull during
normal use then you should be fine. I think the Radioshack magnets are a hair
stiffer than the spring.

Yes the Fusion kit in my Fusion is WAY stiffer than the Threshy kit in my Threshy. Which I believe is due to the larger magnet used for the Fusion. And I prefer that stiffer pull so when the frame comes back I think ill try the Fusion kit in my iQ - which is what I had thought all along since it doesnt need that washer to fix the "bump" issue although it may still work just fine since the washer will bring the magnets closer together

Did you follow instructions exactly? did you need to drill?

No drilling on any of his kits. They are very simple to install.

hey xluben, i'm very interested in trying the magnet thing. what do I ask the person at radioshack about what type of magnet to get and are they found at most radioshacks or do you have to order online?
and how do you install them...is there super glue involved? thanks in advance! I feel like the spring in mine is little bit too light and needs to be a tad stiffer.

Basically put a drop of superglue into the spring cup in the frame, drop magnet in - wait 5 mins till it dries
Figure out what way the "trigger" magnet needs to go to repel .. glue onto trigger ... wait till its dry and install
