Unless you have a whole new compression set to throw in there, or have extensive experience in debugging hopups, piston o-rings, etc, you will get more mileage out of this by taking it back to the shop.
To be blunt, the excuse about cold is nonsense. Myself and several other team members just gamed a bunch of guns, including ones with G&P mechboxes, at a game that averaged -12C yesterday and they all had absolutely fine compression.
You should
politely insist that the gun is not working properly and ask them to stabilize the compression parts and not just keep shirking away from the supporting their own guns. Don't accept the cold temperature excuse. People game their AEGs in very cold weather. Ask the guys on this forum from Calgary who have gamed in -30C temperatures.
Side note:
I am really thinking that we need to start to maintain a highly-visible list of outright lemon brands. G&P is an outright lemon brand. Every G&P I personally have ever seen simply did not work out of the box properly, and needed to go through hours of work and/or expensive changes before shooting correctly. Compression issues, snapped gear shafts, defective hopup units, stripped bevel gears, all on stock guns.
Hell, maybe the OP should ask for a KA M4 as a replacement.
