    Rainmaker Mech. conversion, how did you link the trigger?

    Hello y'all,

    im looking at a mech conversion for an old Rainmaker, and was wondering how y'all trip teh hammer shear in there?
    I have a few ideas, but I'm wondering if I'm overcomplicating it and missing something obvious ...

    Feel free to post some pictures, i like inspiration 😁

    Thanks,

    Doesn't the electric version just have a pin that trips
    the sear?

      You don't.

      All you need is a 3way to cycle the ram back and forth, the sear is tripped by the pin in the lower receiver. It's just an auto triggered pump at its roots.

      You can get fancy and use a SMAV to actuate a MPA2 actuator on a MAV4, like I did on William the Third's RM, or toss a Cocker frame on with a 3way mount like I did on Riot's RM.

        Yes, the ram drag the whole stack forward hitting the pin releasing the hammer.
        For the mech, I can re-use that system if I have to, but I would prefer a closed bot setup if I can. So I'm trying to see how I can drop the hammer from the trigger action.

          Use an AutoTrracer style trigger plate in a slide frame? Pretty sure Bacci has some pictures on his site somewhere.

          Edit: here's a link to a sale post, there's a couple pictures of the extra "hump" on the trigger plate that bumps the hammer latch.
