Check this pic out. I'm sure you've seen a configuration like this before. I don't know how much time and "playing with" you want to put into this, but here might be a solution to your trigger/sear problem. In the Tippmann 98 Custom, when the bolt is pulled back, it pushes the sear onto a trigger platform (we'll just call it that for now). When the trigger is pulled, the platform is pushed up pushing the sear down and releasing the hammer. As I said, if you have the time/patience for this, it seems to be a descent solution, and you won't need as strong of a trigger spring.

- Don't pay attention to the silver barrel thing. That's a custom part for the gun.

I've thought of a few things that may get the gun working. I need to wait until I get back to work so I can use the lathe.
I know that 50 feet isnt alot, but that distance is considering that the rubber bands only provide 1/4 the power of the spring, And at the moment whilst im not working and dont have access to a lathe, It'll have to do. Im sure once I get on the lathe and do what I was going to do, I know it will work and hopefully fire a BB 300 foot, That's my aim, so we'll see how things go.
I may have to look at a 2 stage trigger with a retaining pin so the catch face locks onto the sear. I will look into that when all my other plans fail.
