Anyone ever build a pneumatic safety?

[Spiritchaser]

So I once posted about potential problems with a mechanical safety on a pneumag. Now that I've tuned my trigger to where I like it, I'm finding there's so little travel at the safety I just can't have faith in it.

The on off ASA does work of course, and I'm going to run with that for now...

but before I get parts anno'd, I want to at least consider other options.

Has anyone ever tried to put a (edit) two position valve on a pneumatic trigger circuit?

Vent the ram in one position, connect the ram to the trigger valve in the other.

I have to think that around here someone would have at least tinkered...

Any thoughts would be appreciated

My normal safety has always worked. butttttt somehting like this might work for you http://www.argyleloco.com.au/images/alw219.jpg

My trigger has about 0.008" of travel at the bottom tip.

It's possible to see the safety tab move

But...

i wonder if it would be better to mod the frame to have a safety like the emags / hyperframes? the safety on those don't stop the trigger, they actually stop the sear.

You need to set it up a little differently. You can make the safety work,but you will have to change the trigger actuating rod a bit.

Maybe a trigger stop to adjust forward movement, and a slightly shorter pin?

First off thanks for all the replies

I currently have the rod set to just a little beyond the release point of the marker, I could minimize over travel a wee bit more but I want to have a little room for wear.

That being said, post travel doesn't really make much difference with a safety.

The forward travel set screw can be backed off of course, and this can increase trigger swing to almost anything...

But I've tuned this trigger to where it's just about perfect for me, and I'd rather do more work than give that up

Plus I can out shoot my wife on her mini and I'd like to keep it that way.
