| I played in a big game yesterday and some balls broke in my hopper and inside my gun . So this morning I took my gun apart which is a 98 Custom with built in E-Grip. It worked great yesterday. I just don't understand how exactly to put the E Grip back together. I read the Manual and I'm 99 percent everything is back to normal. But when I put my Co2 tank on (which is full) and turn on the E grip. I fire and the gun wont dry fire. I cleaned it and greased it for another event next weekend so it would be ready but it wont fire. The E Grip will click. The Magnet is doing its job and in the right place. THe solenoid seems to be working. It hits the Armature Pin and the Pin is hitting the Sear but its not hitting it hard enough I think. I have no clue if thats how it works. Battery is new. Anyone have any ideas what might be the problem? Everything looks exactly like the manual and it still wont fire when I cock it back and fire. All I hear is the Solenoid and Armature Pin clicking. I can always get pictures if anyone needs them to help out. Any help would be great. Only have one local paintball store around me and they are rude so I would rather try and fix it myself. Thank you. |

Hmm. I would never take the E-grip out if I were you, again. Just leave it in there because dirt should n't be getting in there. Were you absolutely sure that the new battery is still good. Even a battery with a good amount of energy left won't power the e-grip. Fresh batteries are a must. |
