I did a Deepfire sear set replacement in my VSR-10 recently and I luckily had zero problems with the install. If I remember correctly you had an upgraded piston? Either way there are a lot of things that can go wrong with the installation of new sears in a VSR.
To do some trouble shooting, does the piston sear engage the piston at all? ie: do you hear the piston sear click against the piston or does the piston pass by the sear without any contact? The piston sear itself should be visible in the receiver with the bolt assembly removed and should stick out a little bit. If you remove the trigger assembly from the receiver the sears should look like this:

In the picture you can see the piston sear sticking out at about a 45 degree angle where it should be. It could also be the piston sear causing the problem. The piston sear should be perfectly flush with the top of the trigger assembly. Hopefully that helps. If it doesn't a picture is worth a thousand words, well maybe not a thousand but it surely will help.

I would second Stalker's recommendation of airsoftretreat. You do have to sift through a lot of kids who can't spell worth beans but there is some really good sniper posts in there.
