The auto sear was removed but the rest of the parts were select fire parts.

The
disconnector has to have some sort of tail. Some semi auto disconnectors may be
long enough, some have no tail at all and are cut straight down the back.

Description of Tromix DIAS.

Quote:
The device is a very simple drop in part that cams the disconnector off the hammer
as the bolt carrier goes into battery. Similar in operation to an AR lightning link.

It requires no modification to any parts in the gun, and can be installed/removed in

about a minute. It will run in any AK type firearm, however it renders it safe and full
auto only, no semi automatic provision.

According to the designer speaking on his Youtube video it needs FA FCG to work.

The TROMIX design is better IMHO as it works with anything but is not actually 'Drop
in'.

That's not what I got out of it at all.

All that I can see is required is a tail on the disconnector.

Anyone know where to find such info?

PM or EM me with it please. I was unable to find anything concrete.

For informational purposes only, of course.

I like semi-auto just fine and have an MG already--too expensive to feed!

Etek, the "DIAS" Plans I had before the HD crash mounted to the selector and had a
notch cut into the forward top of the disconnector. The piece on the selector sat
over the disconnector and had a little trip built into it, when the bolt hit a rod
conected to it the trip cammed the disconnect out of engagement with the hammer
and fired the gun. Does that sound like the TRomix design? IIRC, the one I
remember was called a "teel link".

according to the guy in germany you need a f/a disconnector AND you need to have
your receiver notched for the f/a selector detent.you do not need any other full auto
parts.when you put the selector in the full auto position it holds down the

disconestor and allows the DIAS to work.that is the way i believe it to work
according to the maker in the vidieo.

Well I bought steel and springs this morning, I will give it a try on Sunday.

I am thinking about locating the spring to the front to make sure it has enough
force.

Anyone sitting on a copy of the tromix plans or pictures of it, I would love to see it.

that makes no sense to me after looking at this thing and seeing the vid.

The entire mechanism of this is that the DIAS bumps the disconnect down WHEN
the bolt goes forward. If it is already being held down you would have a slamfire
situation.

Maybe someone could explain that but it doesn't make any sense to me.

Also, while he is operating this in the vid he has the selector lever all the way down.
That is semi-auto position.

Not that it matters because with the autosear gone the selector has nothing to do
with it, other than to free up the trigger, which it does in both positions.

Same here, I am sure.

Anyhow, let us know how this device works out. We'd love to hear about it. Looks
slick as hell though and I can't see any reason it would not work if properly shaped
and the spring is strong enough. I could see the spring strength being an issue.

Actually, the spring he used looks an awful lot like a shepherds hook to me.
