Ion trigger frame on Tippmann Raider

[FlightMedic938]

Could an Ion trigger frame possibly bolt on to a Tippmann Raider body? Does anybody have dimensions for an Ion trigger frame?

Anything is possible with enough fabrication, if the screw holes line up I don't see why it wouldn't looks like an ion to me

Very true, I was hoping for a less labor intensive option lol. Regardless, after studying it all day I don’t think it’ll work. The Raider frame slides in to the hopper and there is a screw that secures the hopper to the trigger frame. Since I plan on removing the entire bottom line on the Raider, the screw on the trigger frame will be the only one securing the hopper to the marker (there are two screws, one on the trigger frame and one on the brace that extends from the bottom line)

I found out that by adding a drop forward to the Raider it eliminates the hopper being right against my mask and moves it to rest on my shoulder, improving the handling greatly. So the bottom line has got to go and I’m going to put on the drop forward with an on/off asa.

I dislike the milsim regulator shroud on the Raider trigger frame because it sucks as a front grip, so I’m going to take a dremel to it and cut it off. Now I’m asking myself if I want to keep the stock regulator. It’s short and narrow and not very comfortable to use as a front grip. Unfortunately, the Raider uses a MALE vertical adapter so my only options (that I know of) is the female Custom Products reg or a Palmers female stabilizer (i can’t find one)

I think I could replace the male VA with a female one from an Envy or Vibe I think but that’s just more money. Any ideas of anything I could do differently??
