    Trracer Rifle Project

    I've got a project for a Trracer I've been working on. I've been putting some Trracer internals into a rifle body. I'm kinda new to the whole tech scene, so I need some serious help with the Trigger mechanism. I also don't have access to a whole lot of tools, and I can't afford to drop too much money into this. Does anybody have any ideas? I'll post pictures of my current set up in a little bit.
    I do have a Trigger (some blade trigger, no idea what gun it came from). The trigger is the perfect length to go from the body of the Trracer out of the bottom of the rifle. Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.

    Are you looking to make it mechanical or turn it into an electronic system?

    A pivoting mechanical link would be the easiest solution and just connect it to the trigger where ever that lines up in the stock.

    I would just have a short bit of rod/RC wire connecting the two triggers, like Simon said.

    Here's how Engler did one (not the cleanest IMO , but shows the concept)

    Here's my first couple of steps. The mockup:

    Right now, I've gotten the basic trigger attached. I took this metal bar:

    and sawed and sanded a bit off it to fit in the stock. Then I attached the trigger to it. (Duct tape for now, I just wanted to see how it would feel with the trigger on. I'm ordering an extra trigger frame for my Trracer so I can get started working on the rest of the trigger.

    Looks like fun. Do you already have the action bedded into the stock the way you want it? I'd want to understand that first and then build the trigger system to fit after.

    Right now it sits on top. That's the easiest way for me and the best way it fits with the stock I have.
