It was fun while it lasted 🫠

PLEASE DELETE IF NOT ALLOWED

Hi Everybody. Long story short. I’ve been under a rock for the last 3 months and just got around to installing my RATL-R on my Gen2.1. I am catching up and seeing posts that there might be an issue with the early batch. I was order #1XX.

During function check, I get a very heavy trigger pull on semi and the safety lever moves when I pull the trigger (see video). The force reset doesn’t feel like it’s engaging during RATL-R mode. Strangely enough, it feels like it does on semi. Metal safety cam installed.

Things to note:

- sear seems very tight when installed to trigger

- safety cam is metal purchased separately

- have not test fired due to function check failing

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

So trying to make the right side airsoft mag release work. This is how the arm needs to be clearance for the new G3 mag release pocket. I have the actual latch modeled in cad. I'll 3d print one to test fit before milling one out of 7075.

The right side mag release on the g3 is going to take a lot of work. The arm hits in the new cutout for the g3 release. It shouldn’t be hard to clearance that. The problem is the Glock style latch itself. The g3 changed the latch. Aside from the spring notch in the wrong spot that someone mentioned, the whole arm should be remade. I should be able to make one that will work with the modified arm. 🤞🏽

As for the safety levers. The aluminum levers work just fine. The round barrel part of the lever is a little smaller but being aluminum, it wouldn’t matter.

Now to the flat face trigger. It’s very close but not a drop in. The first difference is the seer pin is a threaded pin. This is kinda nice as the vector pin is punched in and extremely hard. The threaded pin of the new trigger is slightly larger than the OEM. This means the slot in the frt needs to be opened up a little. A few passes with a file or a dremmel will do just fine. We are only talking about .002” maybe. The pin goes in, it just makes the trigger tight vs free moving. The bigger issue is the pivot pin. The pin for the OEM is 4mm (measured 3.95mm). The hole in the new trigger measures about 4.3mm. This is way too big and won’t work. The easy fix for me was to make a 6mm OD 4mm ID sleeves. A few min on the lathe and I made the sleeve from a 6mm stainless pin I have laying around. I stepped up the hole in the new trigger until i got to the 6mm but. It drills a hole to 5.98 mm so a perfect tight fit for the sleeve. This tool care of any slop in the trigger pin.

Last is the face at the back of the trigger that contacts the safety. The new trigger has extra material there. A simple round sander took enough material off. You just want to take off enough so there is about .010” space between the trigger and the safety in the safe position. The trigger feels really good now. Weight went up from 2 lb 14 oz to 3 lb 9 oz. It’s probably due to the shape and the leverage. It can also be the new sleeve is a little tighter then the OEM trigger. My sleeve id measured 3.98 and the In is 3.95mm. The OEM hole measure 4mm. I guess a 4mm reamer would fix this but it’s fine. Weight is in semi position.

So anyone looking for a bit different of a trigger and want to put the work in, it’s possible.

Next step is grabbing the FRT then I'll be submitting for a suppressor tax stamp later this year! Love this weapon so much

This is the second set I've received from the same retailer. While the first set had KRISS embossed in them, this set has DEFIANCE. I was under the impression that these are Krytac licenced airsoft replicas, but the shop is insisting they came direct from KRISS.

It doesn’t look THAT bad, does it? Took me a while to find a riser to get the Romeo & Juliet3 high enough and back far enough to get a clear sight picture with the magnifier and this $18.99 riser from Onhunt is where I landed. Sure, I’d prefer an eotech and a G33, but that combo would cost the same as what I paid for the Vector. I also considered a Holosun AEMS Pro with the HM3X, but I already had the Sig optics, and I’d still be looking at a way to raise the HM3X.

My space opera inspired Vector build. For home defense because my family likes not being deaf and it's stupid quiet with 230 gr subs. Plus 60 rounds on board.
