Ok. Thinking about buying this shocker. Its a HSW model vertical feed with Glacier AT. It was supposedly bought in July. I know HSW orders shockers and modifies them, but would a shocker that new come with a single trigger frame? If this gun has a Glacier at board, does that necessarily mean it has a LS switch? I figure it came with a dome new. Also, thats the brand new max-flow model on there, and I mean REALLY new not just the shorter model. It also has 2 ball detents?? He says it has the "new" style switch, but I can't figure out what that single trigger frame is doing on there. Is it worth $550 without the air? That price includes dye stickies, smartparts wood grips, stock 16" AA, a lapco bigshot, and rebuild kits.

I looked over pix on the HSW site, looking for examples of the Hyper Grip Frame. It does come in single or 2x triggers. They have a few photos of singles, but the guard looks different. The one you pictured is rounded, the other look more angled.
My guess is it has a HSW trigger frame on it. Basically it's a newer 2001 version Shocker tricked out with HSW gear.
Glacier AT: Don't know. I could guess there'd be versions for the dome and LS markers. KM2's site is not very specific.
$550? If you like the HSW gear, sure. I think that front hose looks awful, but it's be easy to change.
I'd say go for it!

In response to the glacier and micro switch stuff. I believe all the 2000 models and so on come stock with the micro switch trigger and the AT glacier does come with a micro switch board and such.

Thanks guys, I called John (nice guy) at HSW and gave him the sellers name. He confirmed that he shipped him a 2001ls v-sport shocker in july, with some HSW goodies on it, so this one is only a couple months old, and has never been shot with paint. It does have the LS trigger, but the guy who ordered it specifically ordered the single trigger frame with the single trigger guard. John personally did a trigger job on it and added adjustable stops. Heck, John said he was the one who talked the gun into the single frame. Claims there is no need for a double trigger with a trigger this precise. I guess that makes sense, I always find myself shooting my current double trigger shocker with one finger anyway. So, that shocker is on its way to me right now. I wonder if the AT glacier board will be tourney approved in the upcoming years? I know you can flip a switch internally and take away every fire mode except SA.
