Mac Super safety question (self.help)

7 comments fedilink hide all child comments

So I'm trying to see if I messed up or not. My hopes are high but I downloaded the "MAC Super Safety System" off odysee. I ordered from send cut send around 14 trip bars, 10 out of SS304 and 4 out of titanium.

The folder structure has led me to believe that this trip bar will work with the MacDaddy AND DB9 Alloy because of the read me file in there that says the following:

"-This DB Alloy remix ONLY works with the sheet metal trip bar design, not the printed trip bar (due to limited space in the lower design).

-The remixed designs included here were tested within beta. There are extra trunnions and different remixed lowers on the Phoenix Designworks Odysee page for those interested in other lowers not officially tested within the beta for this release."

This is not in the original phoenix designworks folder anywhere and the fact that it says "ONLY works with the sheet metal trip bar design, not the printed trip bar" tells me that it should work with the DB9 alloy as there is no printed trip bar in the phoenox designworks folder at all.

I also swear I remember seeing on r/Fosscad that people were using the MAC Super Safety System with the DB9 alloy but obviously I can't check because it's gone now.

If anyone has any information please let me know or else I'm just gonna dive into this blind and hope it works.

my release and mikes release stemmed from the SS mac beta tests. mike and i designed the standoff version and the original db alloy in conjunction with each other to ensure compatibility amongst both versions. the db alloy only works with sheet metal trip bars. my and mikes both use the short style trip bar that i designed based off of remnants trip bar design in the early beta stages. remnants mac super safe system uses his longer style trip bar but it should work all the same in either build you do. remnants rear bend angle is slightly different but all in all the parts that interact with the super safety are the same dimensions essentially.

So long story short you're saying the metal trip bar (which I ordered on send cut send) from the remnants (Mike???) mac daddy super safety system DOES work with your (PhoenixDesigns/AlexPhoenix) SS DB Alloy, they just bend in different ways and are different shapes but overall get the same function done?

Also you say the rear bend angle is different on remnants, can I use that bend angle in the SS DB Alloy or does it have to be different?

mike is marsbluff creations, he modeled the standoff version of the ss db alloy. but, otherwise yes, i'm pretty sure remnants mac super safe system trip bar does work with my ss db alloy, correct. and i'm not sure if you could just bend it to 90 degree. test it out on one of your 304ss trips, just check the timing of when the bolt gets home and when the hammer drops, they should be close.

Sounds good, ill try it at some point soon as I haven't modified the upper yet and cut out that piece in the back. Also waiting on filament for the super safety lever for the mac

Also for remnants trip bar im assuming i bend the front as well around the curve of the bolt and not like yours is since its missing the extra tab at the front?

i highly recommend the metal ss lever from DNT but i'm sure the right material would hold up pretty good. and correct, the front just wraps around the front of the bolt. the little tab on my short trip is so it can interface with the breech face but remnants trip uses the front of the bolt.

So after one thrown out back and an hour on the floor due to getting old, I can confirm that the remnants trip bar does work with the db9 alloy super safety lower by you. I need to bend the back trip area a few more degrees as its on the very edge of the super safety but other than that, my function tests are going good. Thanks again for responding

What I'll probably do is if this trip bar for some reason doesn't work, then I'll just order new ones with the correct version this time and then get some levers cut from send cut send as well from some material.
