***should also mention if it has a black nozzle it probably does not have an Oring in it. You can buy an upgraded nozzle from ICS.

Thanks for the info, I'll give that a shot and let you know my results. Yea, it was a block nozzle with no o-ring. Are you sure upgraded ones are available? I looked, but to no avail. I'd be glad to be proven wrong. All I could find is an ICS aluminum nozzle that doesn't have the o-ring anyways, or a replacement black one. (

In all honesty you probably should have done a little more research. If you were able to afford a new spring you can afford an $8 nozzle with double o-ring.
Test for compression first before you even consider getting a new spring. The problem generally lies with with the piston head and the cylinder if increasing spring strength yields little to no significant difference. Most guns barely need an m10 for 350 fps so you KNOW that there might be something wrong.
The misfeeding is probably because the nozzle isn't able to push forward all the way with a hard crusty nitrile o-ring stuck to it and the cylinder head and isn't pushing the bb's out. I would recommend scraping that thing off if you have a chance to salvage it.

Well, the fact that it was an 8 dollar nozzle was the basis for modding it. I mean, why not? Even if it mis-feeds, if it fixed the issue, at least I'd know where the issue was. But the issue persists. But you are probably right. If it can be salvaged, I will, but if not, a replacement shouldn't be hard to find.
As for the spring, the spring was loose and handy, so it was an easy way to test an FPS increase. Suppose at least I have some tests to make. Thanks for the information.
