VFC MP5 "strengthening"

As expected, my loading nozzle chewed itself to pieces at a game last night. I've decided to drop some coin into it as it's come to impress me far more than my SCAR. Shopping list right now includes;

Azimuth loading nozzle
TSC Reinforced hop up chamber/Improved hop up chamber
Azimuth reinforced bolt stop follower
PRECISION steel CNC firing pin
TSC reinforced bolt head
Azimuth high-performance valves
Azimuth copper cylinder
TSC magic insert

Now I'm confused on what exactly the magic insert is, and what the difference/advantages there are between the reinforced hop-up chamber and the improved hop-up chamber. Valves are simply there because I don't feel like fiddling with the stock VFC ones. I also wanted to confirm that hi-capa valves will work on the MP5 mags?

Also if there's any owners out there who recommend different parts/scrap unnecessary parts that would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

If possible avoid TSC parts, I've not had great luck with them

They're called priorities. Get yourself some.

What run is your MP5? 4 or 5 digit serial number? IIRC, several changes have been made throughout the past year.

I'm not sure why you feel you need to upgrade all those parts, and this seems to be common amongst VFC MP5 owners that they feel the need to bullet proof their MP5. I own a SD3/6, the only change I made has been to the loading ramp from the old type to the new type, a TSC nozzle, and the azimuth followers for the mags. As well as the Azimuth valves.

I havn't verified this but I believe the old style loading ramp was the source of my nozzle crushes and jams, ever since I've since I switched it out I havnt jammed once and my TSC nozzle looks good as new.

No experience with the magic insert, but it looks like it just reinforces the nozzle.

I feel the need because I'm sick of my gas guns going down after one skirmish and having to fall back on my AEG's. I would rather drop 100-200$ in one go than continuously order 20-something dollar parts every time something goes down.

Since my nozzle is already shot, I'm simply asking what other VFC users have tried and tested in their MP5's to make them durable. That list of parts comes from one gun tech and I would like the input of the knowledgeable ASC community.
