Since my last post, I polished the innards, got it nice a lubed up, and replaced the trigger spring. You will never guess what i used.

I thought about the KY because of the O rings, but i used a small amount of 3 in 1 oil. seems to be working great.

sorry for the pic
here is what i used

I used a red spring... just because it matched. It doesn't allow the trigger to bounce, but it is like pushing down a feather. There is almost no resistance. I highly recomend this. The kits at radio shack
for 8 dollars, and you get a lot of extra springs.

some people i play with **edited** about that, so this is the next best thing. It keeps the trigger from falling, but takes nothing to pull.

I cannot believe that no one has mentioned that your hopper is on backwards.
Clever use of the springs.

When I still played with a tippmann, I modded the trigger unlike most
others. I actually put a spring to pull the trigger back just
before the point of tripping the sear. This made it so that the
slightest tap would fire it, and when the hammer kicked back to trap on
the sear, it also reset the trigger.
