doesn't the nozzle get replaced by the pistol-esque conversion? the newer version nozzle gets 4 structural posts instead of 3, but if it gets replaced by a completely different system, there's not much point, right?

Also, mags shouldn't matter one way or the other, because the feed mechanism changes with the open bolt conversion, and the valve in the bolt is responsible for the amount of gas directed towards the BB vs the amount directed at recoil.... as well as the total amount of gas allowed into the mechanism from the mag. Once the bolt moves to a certain point, it resets the valve knocker/firing pin, and gas stop flowing into the bolt.

Reinforcing the mag would allow higher internal pressure and/or more gas storage, but shouldn't affect mag reliability. higher pressure would cause faster cycle times, and REDUCE the hinge plate life, so i'm not sure what mag reinforcement would accomplish ??

Where would you suggest ordering reinforced hinge plates from? I broke mine a couple months ago, and luckily had a spare, but I'm not sure if either were reinforced, and I likely have an early model scar as well...

My serial ends with 1761, is that gen 2?
