| Review: |
The ul frame is the best feeling frame on the market and i wish they made them for my etek ego o well i guess my pmr will be my only gun to have one...
I love the trigger on this frame it is soooo smooth and a major improvment from the stock frame. This frame is great for both small and big hands. My hands sink into this frame and even though this frame weighs more then the stock frame to me it feels lighter. im not sure if this is because it feels so nice or if it is because of the fact that almost all composite parts of my pmr are gone. This frame is worth every penny and its really all personal preferance so if you are considering this frame ask some one with a dm6 to let you hold thier gun scince dms come with ul frames stock if you didnt know that already. |
|
| Conclusion: |
It is worth every penny and changes the feel of the pmr 10000000%. hold a dm6 and you decide if its worth it to you.. i give it a 10 because imho this is a perfect product from none other then dye. live hard, play hard, dye hard |

| Review: |
So i went on a impulse and decided to get a ul frame for my marker becuase well i had the money at the time. The tigger is extremely snappy just like a mouse click, the board is the same as whats in a pm7 if im not mistaken, the construction is alloy and much more compact, it comes with some nice stickies, the light on the side is nice, and the buttons are not only metal but do not fall out. But nothing is perfect and that leads me to my next point. Stated earlier in this thread, a reviewer says that it is a luxury item bucuase its not a necessity but it is nice. I paid 200 for mine but hey price for performance. Also it does seem more heavier but i do not attribute that to the weight of it but more along the lines of more weight to a smaller space. And hey guys if this is really so heavy to you then i would consider another sport like ping pong or something. |
|
| Conclusion: |
All in all a fabolous upgrade but a luxury item nonetheless, and with a lighter crisper trigger pull and metal construction, the ul frame is very nice. I am giving it a 8 because it is great but it is very expensive.(remember 10 is godliness and 5 is avg) |

| Review: |
The PMR Ultralite frame is a huge improvement over the stock frame design wise. In addition, it feels great and totally changes the look of your marker. Here are a few key strengths and weaknesses:
Pros:
Aluminum composition: Yes, the stock composite frame is probably just as strong as the Ultralite frame, but the Ultralite frame “feels” sturdier in you hand. I am a huge fan of aluminum parts.
Nice trigger: The UL trigger is smoother and is easier to walk then the stock trigger in my opinion. The UL trigger has ball bearing pivot point, where the stock trigger does not. The UL trigger is also aluminum, therefore making it not as “sticky” as the rubber coated stock one. The UL frame also has a bigger trigger guard that allows more finger space.
Improved button design: the UL frame has aluminum buttons in a separate housing in the frame. The bottoms don’t fall out on you when you open up the grip to switch setting like the stock buttons.
Improved dovetail: The ASA mounting screw for dovetail ASAs is adjustable from the side of the frame vs. inside the frame.
Melts into your hand: The UL frame is definitely the nicest feeling frame on the market for any marker. Its curves fit nicely into your palm, and the frame itself is generally less blocky then other 45 frames.
Looks great: The Ultralite frame is far superior aesthetically then the stock frame. The frame completely changes the look of your marker. The UL frame flows nicely with the body of the marker, and the ano job matches well [at least with dust black PMRs].
Cons:
Weird eye ribbon mounting: the eye ribbon mounts perpendicular to the board, and is bent by the grips. This is just a weird design on Dye’s part.
Funky manual: the manual that came with the frame is for Dye markers, not Proto marks, and especially not the Rail. It fails to mention that one of the trigger adjustment screws has been removed, and has been replaced with another screw in the trigger itself to make room for the solenoid. It also fails to mention that you need to remove the little rubber “nubbin” on the noid that the stock trigger spring attaches to in order to make the frame fit on the body of the marker. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall, the PMR Ultralite frame is a huge improvement over the stock frame design wise. However, it is definitely not a necessary upgrade. The UL board and stock board are essentially the same, and the Ultralite frame does not really directly improve the marker’s performance. The UL frame is more of a “luxury upgrade”. It definitely feels and looks better then the stock frame; it is up to you on weather or not that is worth $200. For this, I give the PMR Ultralite frame a 9 out of 10. |

| Review: |
I bought the UL at the exact same time that I bought my PMR. There was a special at a shop near me to get both for $500. So maybe that can help you to find a good deal, if you haven't already purchased a PMR. Anyhow, here we go...
Installation: Installation is pretty simple. Wires to the solenoid and the ribbon to the eyes, then bolt back together. Be careful to not pinch or bend wires too much.
The manual's illustrations aren't 100%, but you can figure out what goes into what. The ribbon will be set in prependicular to the frame and the grip, when screwed back on, will actually bend it a little. DO NOT WRINKLE THE RIBBON!
Make sure that your UL came with two longer screws to attach your frame to the PMR. The stock screws are too short. One of my UL screws was a little fatter than the other... fat one in the back.
Trigger: The "black nub", "nubbie", "nipple"... whatever you want to call it has to be scraped off of the bottom of the solenoid. Otherwise, your UL's trigger will be pressed down by it and the trigger will constantly be straining to return to the starting position. This is not in the manual, either.
Screws on the trigger itself... The one at the top of the trigger controls the forward position of the trigger. Caution - mine fell out the first day I played with it. Plumbers tape may help to keep that thing in. Screw at the back of the trigger adjusts spring tension... pretty simple.
Screw on the right side of the frame, closest to the trigger, the manual says controls forward positioning... IT'S WRONG. It controls the distance the trigger can be pulled. The screw to it's left is described as controlling the pull distance in the manual... IT'S WRONG, also. That screw is just a hinge screw that keeps the trigger to the frame.
BUT - there is light at the end of the tunnel. LMAO!! Learn from our spent time and you can install the frame, adjust the trigger and be ready to roll quickly.
Programming: Setting up your gun is cake if you've done it before. If not, follow the manual, as the setting information is one of the two things that are accurate in the manual.
Grip: Is much better than the stock. You have a very bright LED on the left side towards the bottom of the grip. ALSO, you have another small LED towards the top of the left side of the grip. VERY COOL! The grip itself secures better to the frame, than the stock. In addition, it feels a little thicker and is "stickier".
Buttons: Much better than the stock. Sexier too.
Really, besides the manual, I only had a problem with the screw from the trigger falling out. It's a cheap piece and didn't effect my arss kicking ability. LOL!! |
|
| Conclusion: |
Yes, I would recommend this bad boy.
The manual blows, but don't let it stop you from buying this frame!
Giving it a 9 for the frame. Manual gets a 5.

| Review: |
If you have ever used a ul frame,this one wont disappoint you.It is everything they have always been.Its a bit taller than the stock frame so you will need to replace the macro line with one a bit longer.the stock one is just a hair to short.
Also worth telling you about is the stock rear frame mounting screw is too short to use on the ul frame.you will need one about a quarter inch longer.mine did not come with this screw,but later ones may.
The fit and feel is all Dye,quality is just the best.it improves the feel and handling so much,it feels like a lighter and smaller Dm6. |
|
| Conclusion: |
It is so worth the money,if you are planning on replacing your pmr trigger and board,(Virtue)the same money will put you in the Ul frame.you get the excellent ul trigger and the dm board plus the better feel for the same money. |

| Review: |
i just got the frame on set it up, it was pretty easy this one even came with the back screw that everyone says is missing i guess now they include it. I have never really had any thing Dye, but now sold on there great products, the frame is great if you have big hands or want to be able to put more grips on your gun, but why would you when it comes with the sticky grip stock. this is one of the best investments you can make on you PMR, the board is simple to adjust and thats always a plus, also with the UL frame you can get the trigger just how you want because it has 4 adjustment screws 2 in the trigger and 2 in the frame. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This product is really nice and feels great because it gives my fingers more room i was always hitting my fingers on the stock frame, its a bit heavier but that don't really bother me, over all great product. |

| Review: |
Ok so i was teetering over getting this frame or the New Designs one seeing as how i had a new designs trigger and the other was considerably cheaper. but, the means came to me buying the UL frame and trust me, its worth the money absolutely and surely. the installation can be a bit challenging, but it really does become straight forward after putting the wires right.. anyway, about performance, this thing is a beast, ive never been so comfortable just sprayin the place with that hourglass frame. seriously it will help out in the snake to not have a huge thing in your hands while having to deal with a trigger. btw the new trigger is really smooth. comparable to that of a NXT trust me. overall, it is a serious upgrade for any PMR owner. no matter what position you play, this is a must for the PMR. just a note, anyone using high pressure, will want to put the dwell level at 20 rather than the stock 18. at 18 and high pressure it tends to drop once every like 3 pods for some strange reason. this is true for another 2 PMRs some friends of mine have. just sayin
|
|
| Conclusion: |
if you have the money, buy it. it will make your PMR experience not only better, but a lot less frustrating (no button popping, no wire battery replacements, no four wire microswitch connection, etc.) buy it |

|
| Review: |
Trigger- the trigger is great, i think it is the best trig ive ever walked. it makes for fast consistent double triggering. you can also adjust the trigger on the side of the frame instead of taking the frame off, this saves a lot of time and headaches.
The Feel- the way that this frame feels makes it feel even lighter than stock.
Board- the board has all the settings that the stock frame had except, on the ul frame there is no hidden nxl mode like the stock frame.
Battery Harness- instead of having the battery harness attached to 2 wires that you are constantly worried about pulling out while replacing the battery, the ul frame has the harness locked in and all you have to do to replace the battery is pop it out and slide the new one in.
Grips- i also liked the gripes better to. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Idid not put the price of the frame as a weakness, because that is not really reviewing the product, but the frame is at lest 140, and although that is a little pricey it is worth every cent. It literally changes the gun completely, best upgrade you can possibly get for the pmr. I did not give it a 10 tho, because even though it is great nothing is perfect. |
