Vsr upgraded trigger.

Morning all, 

What's the cheapest route to a 90 degree trigger for a vsr with a stock tm trigger box?

Out of luck, all the 90° triggers I've seen for VSRs run about €100 give or take.

Springer Custom has a very neat "budget" trigger, on the other end of the spectrum Sodium (NA-Mech) makes a supposedly god tier magnetic trigger that isn't that much more expensive than other offerings (bought one yesterday, paid €140 for it, will arrive Monday/Tuesday).

You may want to look at 2nd hand sales, especially AAC T10/T11 owners, those triggers could be obtained for not much and still hold up to some abuse (rated to M120 from factory, but given how much my 1J T11 creeps, you can easily reach 2J on a M120 spring)

You used to be able to buy individual sears by Laylax or PDI waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day (we're talking like 2008 time, when I was first looking at building a VSR), but over the years these have been phased out in favour of complete trigger boxes; even back in 2008, the Laylax Zero triggers and PDI V triggers were starting to muscle in on the individual sears market as the best option for upgrades.

I found a set of Action Army 90 degree sears here (https://www.combatsouth.co.uk/action-army-reinforced-sear-set-for-vsr/), but at £70 you're better off getting an S-trigger or Namech Flux trigger, as I don't know how tough the Action Army sears are (I'm guessing they're the stock sears in the AAC T10), and the full trigger units are rated for way more power than we have access to in the UK.

That said, with a fairly efficient build, I got up to 2.2J with an m120 in my VSR, so if as Skara says the Action Army sears are rated for m120 springs, you may get enough power, but if not... that'll be £70 of sears just waiting to snap. The S-trigger is rated up to m190 springs and the Namech is apparently rated up to m220 springs, which are far too strong for UK limits, so you won't have to worry about them giving up under normal usage; even with a horrible short barreled build slinging .2s for maximum inefficiency you're probably going to be well over 2.3J with those springs.

Thanks guys. I was looking for sears to put in the tm trigger housing but this felt risky and a bodge. After a lot of browsing I found a maple leaf trigger box at a good price, hopefully it'll hold up and perform well.

I'm one of those upgraded sears people, bought my VSR off someone at my old local site in 2006, still has 20 year old upgraded sears and mosquito mold parts ? Only thing I've changed in my ownership is longbow guide rings, maple leaf hop unit and rubber and a new bolt handle. 

I could replace everything for new but at that point I might as well just buy one second hand that's has everything done and save myself time and money. 

It's not consistent and fps sometimes varies ~30fps between shots but it soldiers on and has never let me down so I'll use it until it dies then it'll become a wall hangar. The M190 I bought around the same time has also soldiered on and only last month the piston lid shit itself mid game, have had far more issues with newer guns tbh.
