Well, that seems a bit weird.
Did the sear pin look normal? Not peened, scarred or otherwise visibly damaged?
Okay, this is just a SWAG, mind you ... but ... I'd not be shocked to learn that a previous owner had exerted some improper and
significant force against the top half of the spring, for whatever reason, and it weakened it to where it finally snapped off above the pin.
