when i fire my egrip, the armature pin, does not reset all the way back down to the solenoid. It pops up to fire the first shot, then does not fire any more. The clicking sounds still occurs, but the armature pin is not in contact with the solenoid. When I manually remove the trigger housing and push/keep the armature pin down, it fires successfully. Is this a problem with the sear not keeping enough pressure on the armature pin or a spring problem. Thanks for any help.

Your armature pin is probably too short. Call Tippmann for a new one.

I know it might sound odd, but check your battery. It could not provide enough juice to power the grip and push the sear.

Has this always happened with your e-grip or has this been a recent problem?

Ensure that everything else is working.. Then ensure the pin in the E-Grip isn't hitting on anything and that the wires for the battery are not resting on the pin, it may look like it's not but once you tighten everyhting it still might be. If that doesn't solve the problem. Take the push the little pin on top of the noid and trip the micro swtich see if it's working properly outside the marker.
