Airsoft gun mis-feeding when there's pressure behind the BBs. What could be causing this?
My JG Ak74 just got a few upgrade parts, including a new air nozzle which is .9mm shorter than the stock one, so I have been having many problems getting it to compress correctly. I shaved off .3mm of the tappet plate to allow the air nozzle to go forward slightly more, bettering the compression and hopefully solving my problem, but now the problem is that the gun will only drop BBs out of the barrel or lob them a few feet when a wound high-capacity mag or mid-capacity mag is inside, but if I turn the gun upside down and have either a barely wound high-capacity mag or manually feed BBs into the hop up chamber so they just fall gently into place, the gun shoots fine.
What would be causing the mis-feeds only when BBs are being forced into the hop up chamber? It isn't double shooting, just jamming up or letting BBs fall out the barrel.
I have already taken the gearbox apart 12+ times in the past 48 hours to troubleshoot, so ANY information to save me from more of that would be greatly appreciated.

Well ok so I am not the best when it comes to internals, but u have learned quite a lot in the past 7 months. I will try to help but no garentees. So since you've taken it apart I am guessing you've lubed your mags, barrel, and hop up chamber correct? If not I would do that. If that is not the problem, then you may need to get a correct size nozzle that is the same size as your old one. I am tired at the moment and that is all I can think of but if anything else pops up, I will comment what else. I will also ask some of the guys at my local airsoft customs shop.

Sounds like you broke your toy gun while you were di©king around with it.
That may be a sign that it's time to get into a more manly pastime. Maybe something like knitting or collecting gay porn . . . .
