Light trigger pull

Have 2-piece barrel & weld it?
Review: As a follow up, now I have used this marker in summer & winter I have found that the X-chamber is not good enough to run Co2 in the winter if you are able to fire faster than about 8-10 balls per second. I over came this by getting an air system. Running it now on low pressure (about 350), getting 850/900 shots out of a 0.8 3000 psi steel tank.
Conclusion: I am very happy with this marker, even with it's faults (that are probably only applicable to me). Well worth the money (£170 inc. delivery). If you want to do upgrades the parts are easy to find. I think that there are some that might like a few more colour choices but I would have gone for the blue anyway. I found it very easy to get use to the trigger, & the amount of adjustment on it would suit most.
I would give it 9.5, but am rounding it up because it is as close to perfect as e-markers get.

Hi all, had quite a few requests from players in the UK as to where I got this marker from for the money. Simple, ordered it of Ebay & imported it from the states. Hope this helps you all!

Hey, I agree about the DX being a great gun, but I'm not sure on how do adjust the trigger pull. I know the gun inside and out, other than the trigger frame. So if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appriciated!

one man if you havent already looked at the spyder forum then all you d o is take off the trigger frame and on top of the trigger is a screw (part number JE31D i believe) unsecrew it to make the pull shorter and um .8 3000 psi n2 tank?

Ya its welded tight i checked it an didnt get it-----
Also never shoot co2 in the winter or when its really cold with it ... it screws up the cup seal and it starts leakin like crazy other than that its a great buy

I got a DX and yea its welded unless they got some body builder to screw it tight. Oh and goonryan, it is a great gun but youll need a new barrel and an electro hopper for it and it will be awesome. Its a good tournament gun if it is messed around with.

Id never in a million years even consider to use one of these in a tournament. REAL tourny guns are like...........

shockers, intimidators, high end cockers, matrix's etc, def not a spyder, esecially a DX, I owned one for a week and traded it in immedietly.

Hey Everyone. Ok So I am gonna get a new barrel for this Electra Dx. Either a J&J Ceramic or a Smart Parts Progressive. What would you guys recommend? Also... why is this barrel called a 2 piece barrel if it cant be separated?

Thanks..
