Seems FPS is back to normal after replacing the nozzle, will be putting the NPAS back in soon to see if it will function properly as well.
Also, by "accurate burst" I mean 3 shots and none of them are grouping properly at all. Have one go nicely straight, second will go way up, third will go way down. Very unpredictable. Even doing semi-only I don't seem to see much accuracy. It looks like it's just the hop-up being odd though. On the x-axis I'm staying closely grouped, but the Y-axis is terrible.
Took a look inside around the hop-up chamber to see if there was anything stuck in there causing the breakage. Nothing was found. Went back to look at the previous nozzles that all broke, seems i was wrong about where it breaks. It's still on the C-shape protrusion, however isn't not always in the same spot. Sat down with the new nozzle installed and gently pulled the charging handle back and forward to see if it's snagging on something, but not seeing, hearing, or feeling anything.
Also noticed that when the charging handle is pulled back, the carrier fully retracts, however the nozzle itself remains somewhat forward. When I got the rifle brand new, this didn't happen. The air nozzle would retract fully with the bolt carrier. Wondering if the rails just need to be greased?
EDIT: So for the hell of it, I put the original loading nozzle that came with the rifle back in. It's missing a piece on that c-shape area, but still functions just fine. The one thing that gets me is that it glides perfectly in the bolt carrier. All other loading nozzles I have do not glide nicely and get hung up about 1/2 way back and stick (if you put your finger in through the ejection window, a light tap on it will knock it all the way back though). I installed the NPAS back into that one and tested it. Firing approx. 385-400FPS. So my question is has anyone else had issues with the replacement loading nozzles being much too snug? The original nozzle that came with the rifle broke because of a jam that I didn't properly clear out, which was my fault. However I'm wondering if the other two loading nozzles broke because they weren't retracting fully with the bolt carrier and as a result on return were not properly seating due to misalignment from being sticking out so far.
Also I saw the bolt catch modification video. Currently don't have any shims, but manually played with the bolt catch to make sure that it indeed needed to be shimmed and that definitely was the problem. Seems I'm also able to put the rifle in safe when it the rifle hasn't been loaded. When I originally got it, that's how it was. Now it seems I can go into safe whenever. I have no idea what goes in in the trigger grouping, so I have no clue what to look for.
@MaybeStopCalling; Where did you find the CWI parts from? I tried searching for them but couldn't find anything. Not sure if I'm just blind or what.
