Earlier this year I purchased a Minimag wih an odd trigger from Jake Pawlak on ebay (Oh Pawlak’s brother).
Featured on the Minimag was a Proline Automag frame with a custom looking (raw) trigger.
It’s odd to see a Proline marked Automag frame without the Auto Response engraving so that caught my eye, but after looking at the trigger I had to purchase it.
I was assuming that it was possibly a trigger that Dirk Gaderry cut for Ed and Oh Pawlak, since Gadberry was doing the custom work on the Predator Automags they were selling.
But after receiving this trigger I asked Dirk and he said it was not a trigger he machined.
The frame overall is in pretty rough shape with some bad corrosion on a few parts. Still a good find and it will be neat to find some more information on this trigger.
I’m pretty sure I know that trigger. It was probably made by Ron Weaver. He was the co caption of the CA landsharks.
Here’s an archived webpage of the team.

He hand milled them for the team, which was captained by Robert moon manager/I think co owner of predator paintball which oh pawlak owned. I can try to find my minimag with that trigger on it from when I played on the team and send you a picture of you like.
Ron made them because the stock triggers had slop in them from side to side.
