Using slider frame on Empire Sniper?

Jaan · 02-05-2012, 04:15 AM

I don't like the trigger on the new Empire Sniper. Something about the pivot point is too low for where my finger wants to sit.

I haven't taken one apart but I was wondering if anyone knew if you could take a good old fashioned 'Cocker slider frame and use that instead?

Likely so, but you would lose the at.

Empire Sniper into a Mech?? the shocktech frames apparently fit.

Sure do.

Unless he got an at kit for the slider from gat products. Or anyone else that makes one.

Instead of your index finger, try using your middle finger to pull the trigger. "Point" down the side of the gun with your index.

over on CC someone did a mech conversion using a slider, and I believe it requires drill and tapping a new rear hole.

Nice...thank you everyone!

The Snipers are apparently based on Karnivor specs, so with the exception of one frame hole and those mounting lugs, it's an easy mod.

There is a good chance you could still use the stock at kit with a slider frame. Just test fit it and if everything lines up you will just need a trigger plate from GAT.
