I had been having trouble with my fang trigger so I put my stock trigger back in. Now when I cock the bolt it wont fire. I lost the spring and have the tippmann parts kit. I replaced the sear spring and that is when I started having the problem. Im stuck and not sure what to do now. Thanks for any help.

If you have an e-bolt, then you don't need a sear. if you have a sear in and you try to fire an ebolt, it will get stuck on the sear and not fire.

I assume you mean the e-grip. You can use the springs out of ballpoint pens to replace trigger and sear springs.

Yeah thats what I meant. I think that the new spring I put in wasnt "springy" enough and wouldnt bend enough to let the bolt come forward. Ill try the ballpoint pen springs and see how that works. Thanks for the tip.
