I'm waiting for the Ra-tech metal nozzles to see if it makes a difference.

The nozzle not fully retracting can result when your nozzle return spring is warped or extended from continuous stretching. I would strongly check the spring first before shaving anything off the nozzle.
In regards to the RAtech metal nozzle, im in contact with Ratech already and will let you guys know the release date, it is supposed to be sometime in February 2012. Although the metal nozzle seems nice, do note that the RA-Tech nozzle is aluminum, which means it is more brittle, and more prone to shattering compared to the stock plastic nozzle which has some degree of flexibility and give. Any misalignment of the nozzle or hop up chamber and the teeth/front tip of the nozzle will crack. This might be an expensive investment/fix.
