before tossing, compare the sear pin hole between the 2.
I was given a sear once that the hole was not formed correctly. 

Longshot, but nice to know for sure what the problem was

I mentioned how sometimes it can be how 1,2 or 3 parts can affect each other.

But I believe Wayne put it best:

"There was just enough wear between the old sear and the old hammer that they were no longer compatible" 

Good Call Wayne Clap
Living Free because of those that serve.....
