I've taken my project salvo to two paintball shops where they both work on markers and of course sell equipment. I love the way the Salvo looks and its great for mil sim / scenario games but id love to get some performance out of it. I decided to have the egrip installed. Several people have tried to complete this task at both locations and have failed. The final result is always the same - The egrip is working but the marker is not firing in full auto. From what I'm told and shown, the egrip rod is too short and doesnt make contact to the trigger area (not sure exactly what its called. would it be the sear assembly?). One shop even tried to place a piece of plastic under the magnetic solenoid to decrease the distance of the rod. That didnt work either. Am I missing a step here? is this the wrong kit (its the same egrip for the Alpha)? Do I need the trigger kit also? I keep hearing horror stories when I talk people in the Houston, TX area about adding an egrip to the salvo, that it doesnt work. Could it just be user error? Is the egrip my only choice to go select fire? |

What do you mean by "do i need the trigger kit also"? I'm assuming your kit came with the armature rod(e-grip rod), sear, sear spring and magnet?? I will be doing the same thing shortly with my Sierra One(Salvo), but i'm installing an APE Rampage e-trigger and ordered the other parts seperately. Talk to Tippmannpros.com as they have the longer armature rod for the Salvo.------------- -Stock 98 Custom -Sierra One AGC sight riser w/ Reddot Rap4 offset feed 150rd Hopper 12"Lapco Bigshot/14"J&J Cer Soon to have APE E-trig,Cyclone and offset hopper |

I'd love a picture of the grip frame, right side with the egrip in it. We could tell you the issue.
Where did you buy the kit?
You should have installed:
You should have removed:
Post that pic if you can. |

| I just did the e grip upgrade on my Salvo and after a couple of hours of reassembling it works just fine. The directions are ok but the thread on this forum was way better. the actual pics of what it looks like helped. The only reason it took so long was when I split the two halves apart EVERYTHING fell out! Yes I am a rookie but I got it all back together and working in one try. Think it's possible the put the wrong sear in? Maybe they put something back in that shouldn't be there. Try taking it apart yourself to check that. There is a thread on the main page that will illistrate it quite well. Keep us posted. |

Last week I installed the e-grip myself. Thanks to input from you guys I was able to identify what went wrong. First of all, the place I tried to have it originally installed, tried to install the wrong one. it was for the 98 model. But anyway. So, I ended up buying the right one and followed the directions, thank god for the illustrations in there, it helped a bunch. I did a test fire in full auto, it looks like it cycling faster than the balls can keep up. I tested it with just a regular hopper, thats probably why. I was just too lasy to take the Halo off my other marker. Next time I'll run it with Halo and see how that goes. Thanks everyone for your helpful input. |
