Been a long time coming, but...

I know have to ask if anyone of you, ever swapped out the stock frame out of an AM Illusion, for any other swing type? Sliders won't work unless I switch to a cocker hammer. And I don't want to drill the body for a sear lug adjustment hole.
The problem with the existing frame is the trigger guard. It leaves no room for a direct fit to a 3.5oz bottle, and me vertical Asa extenders are impossible to find, except the one with on/off dials, which are a PITA to get on with out me having to remove the frame first because the dial hits the trigger guard.
Yes, I've thought about removing the trigger guard, but I don't like the ghetto replacement ones.
Am I stuck?

think of trying a swing frame? I have an on/off valve if you want it would extend it a bit, unless you put a 15degree asa

I had a few slider frames laying around, and the holes didn't even look like they would match up with the illusion. That trigger guard design sure wasn't very well thought out.

Ask Carter how his burst disk is set up on the KL .... I can't remember if it's just a grubb screw (with a hole drilled through it) holding in the burst disk, or something else.

I had this problem with my mini sniper.

Splattttttt ... seriously I believe it is just a grub screw with a hole drilled in it so it will vent. You can also ask Drum or incynr8 as the KL with tank was in there hands for a while.

That makes sense, and sounds easy enough too.
All I would have to do is find the right grub screw, drill a small hole through it, then cover the beginnings of the threads with a rupture disk?
