Sanded the nozzle itself down to move more smoothly and the enhanced cylinder and the wear has stopped, lucky though if I hadn't noticed it it could have worn through completely and then I would have been pissed!!

I thought about the V2 to replace it anyway but I've got about 3 spares so not bothering until I run short.

For lowering the FPS I've used the Azimuth power reduction valve from WGC, alongside the standard nozzle, that didn't quite do the job for what I needed but I had the weaker springs left over from the alloy bulb I used in the K, dropped the weakest one in and, it's now well under my requirements.

I've also been told by a Umarex rep that another good way of doing it on the cheap is to fill out the hole in the original cylinder bulb with some form of plastic, he suggested a small piece of unjamming rod and simply drill it out 1mm to start and then a further 1mm after every chrono test until you get the required FPS.
