So I'm one of the blessed whose Hammer has a hollow, one-piece plastic frame. This isn't very conducive to bottom-lining the marker so I've been looking into a new trigger frame. It seems like a Phantom or Trracer frame is a direct bolt-on, but has anyone tried modifying a standard Spyder frame to work? I believe the bolt holes line up but the sear position might be off?

id be very interested to know how compatable your frame is with a trracer. Old or new. Let me know if u find anything

[matteekay]

Old is a-ok. New doesn't work.

I went through this recently. The Sypder trigger frames DO NOT line up. I tried three different ones.

You can get one of these that inserts into your plastic grip Misc Lone Star / M-16 Bottomline blocks - ASAs - Air / Bottomlines, ASP Online Store: CCI M-16 Mounting Block

Or you can get any Phantom compatible grip
ASP Online Store: CCI Phantom Grip Frame but they have the sweep (easily remedied with a piece of hard plastic)

A very nice grip that has the flat (non-upswept) bottom but seems to be out of stock is ASP Online Store: CCI Phantom Grip Frame

I got one of each, like them all, and use them alternating.

I am not sure what we are talking about at this point.

I will add in that the frame from the Spyder Original does not fit the hammer.

I read what you wrote replacing the word "frame" with "grip" since they are two pieces. Was that correct to do?

Yeah, regular frames use a different sear system. On the inserts and frame changes, see below.

Trracer frames. The old Trracer frames work, the new (Empire) Trracer does not.

Nope. Some Hammers have grip frames that are not two pieces (like mine); the handle and trigger frame are a single piece of molded plastic, complete with fake, molded-in screws for the grips.
