You can get some from hardware stores or have them custom made. They are called “extension springs”. They wont have it Crappy tire, Home Depot or home hardware. I advise you NOT to get springs that are too stiff or else you will be consuming more gas. If your spring is really stiff, you may possibly snap the uber thin aluminum pin in the nozzle (the pin that secures one end of the extension spring)

Still not quite up to what I wanted from it, going to be trying both PDI-Raven and RA Tech 6.01 barrels at some point or another. Not happy with the stock brass barrel. But, uh, any ideas what hop up rubber will work best?

RA-tech barrels work fine. I would use King Arms hicapa nozzle (red). I got an increase in FPS using these parts with Teflon mod.

Will get a KA or G&P buffer tube spacer kit to further test this, however I did notice slightly less perceived recoil, tiny bit higher ROF, and much less drain on the gas system.

Why would you get a plastic buffer (besides reduced gas consumption) for a part that gets impacted so hard and that travels with such high velocity? I suggest getting a RS buffer or use the one from RA tech. Some RS buffers are similar in weight to the RA tech (refer to my guide). The tradeoffs in having a plastic buffer (ie. reduce gas consumption) is not worth having it worn out so quickly. Also, you can also use washers that fit inside the buffer tube so your BCG doesn’t get locked up in the buffer tube.

Found that my RA-Tech NPAS when adjusted to sub-380 fps in a M4A1 length barrel tended to inhibit the cycling of the BCG to the point of it not quite properly chambering a BB reliably.

Probably the selector is sliding off the safety detent pin from the recoil of the gun. I recall the safety detent pin is rounded, which doesn’t secure the selector as much as a RS detent pin ($2.00) which is more cone shaped that provides more s tability.
