I sent my gun to Tippmann to replace a fried e-grip board and they replaced the original sear (slotted one) with the one that has one hole and no space behind it. They stated that the new sear would work better. As it turns out it doesn't work at all. The old sear works better. Is this normal? Or is the sear spring incorrectly installed. My gun works great now it's just I am confused. I contacted Tippmann they said the new one should work better. I don't know.

If it works now, what does it matter?

the new sear is made of a different metal. the old style used to wear down after a while and it wouldn't always catch the rear bolt, so it would mess up. the new one won't wear down, or as fast anyways

How did you fry the E-Grip board. Did you like shock it or something?

No...I used it one time and then it just stopped working. I thought it was the battery but i tried 2 different brand new ones. When I disassembled the grip I smelled something burning and it was the board. Don't know but Tippmann replaced it.
