E-grip sear spring colors?

[SilentDeath12886]

Well I've been having a heck of a time trying to get my new WAS working properly. I am trying my best to troubleshoot this issue since I dont want to shell out for an APE.

I was curious to what color everyone's egrip sear spring color is?

I've scene, so far 2 different colors of egrip sear colors. My original sear spring was blue. I replaced it with a new one from tippmannparts and god a purple egrip sear spring. I saw on tippmannparts today their sear spring color was silver.

I want to compare sear spring colors to see if I can narrow down this issue.

My gun, for some odd reason, will not release the hammer. Dwell is set to 20ms, was set to 25 ms. New battery, less than a case through it. Energizer E2 titanium. Running an RI trigger. Dwell set to 10 ms.

I am thinking that it's just the wrong sear spring since I noticed my mech had a purple sear spring. I know there are suppose to be 2 different sear springs.

I think i had red, but i didn't know there was a difference.

BTW:, i think you should shell you for an APE, they rock.

I was having the same problem with one of my buddies guns, the sear would not trip the hammer.

Step one, make sure you have the right sear. TA01135 Sear [98AE,98PSAE,A5E,ABE,CProE,CProAE,CProPSAE,EXT] THis is the right sear with the small hole.

Next the spring is a silver/bronze color. I had the black spring in my gun and when i called tippman, this is what he told me was wrong.

Need sear with small hole, silver/bronze colored spring.

Hope that helps!

I know I have the right sear, I guess Ill try a new sear spring.

Odd thing is that it worked for like 4 games 2 weeks ago, and mid day its giving me my current issues.

Ya, give a new spring a try. The gentleman at tippmann said silver/bronze colored spring

That is odd, sicne I bought the spring from tippmannparts. I know the springs use to be blue, its really confusing that they keep changing the colors.

I agree. I think it is pointless because it messes with the operators heads

Got my new e-grip sear spring from tippmannparts today. Installed it, and seems all is well again with my marker

Also, make sure the rod can slide easily. An incorrectly routed battery wire can definately cause your problem. I've had the same problem. I also had to do a little jeweler file work on the grip to prevent too much rubbing. Also, I was told from tippmann, a WAS board should always work in the default modes. I would restore default settings and make sure it works there before I start tweeking on the settings.
