For lack of my replacement parts arriving I decided to play around with part# 117 with some success.
Going back to what stealthy had posted up about lubing part #117 I gave it another shot.
I tried greasing it good making sure to have no contact with the hopup and it successfully shot about 5-8 bb's before jamming again (bb's would not shoot at all previously)
re-lubed #part 117 and again it would fire but would jam again after a few shots, I cant imagine taking apart the entire barrel to lube it up for only 5-8 shots so there must be more to this.
I noticed it looked like part #117 was now being pulled back into the brass tube on the bottom (opposite the side of the hopup) which I now believe that could be causing the new jam.
I spoke with frank from velocity arms and one of his gun docs who were both very helpful, what they suggested is trimming the mushroom on the tip of the nozzle in small degrees until I get the perfect fit. This seems like a better idea than taking it off #117
heres a picture of what I mean (highlighted in red) I'm still somewhat new to we and do not always have the proper technical terms.

I am going to try this on my stock nozzle that came with my m4 before I try this on my npas nozzle but thought I should post my findings and see if anyone has more help/advice.
cheers
