Quick Update!

Using Stock TM Slide
- Not TM Stock Outer Barrel, Kamatokai put in a Metal Outer Barrel
- Metal Outer Barrel appear it has a lot of scratch marks, perhaps from the slide racking back and forth
- TTAC3 Nov 28 Gun was working fine on both WE and TM mags, but noticed the loading muzzle was sticking a little bit
- Even on TM mags I noticed the loading muzzle still sticking forward as if it were attached to the Hop-up Unit, at that point I would have to use my finger to pull the loading muzzle back into the blowback unit (Spring is in)

Metal Slide
Yes it must be catching the nub as I have to push it back forward with force which probably must be the nub blocking it.

Problem Variables?

Not Racking Back Forward
- With mag in or out that loading muzzle is stick right out
-- Mag in I can still push the loading muzzle back into place
-- Mag out same thing as if mag was in

Isolated Variables
- Probably not the Metal Outer Barrel since I can rack the slide back and forth back and forth very smoothly until the loading muzzle gets stuck forward and I see the loading muzzle then slither back into its seating

Possible Solutions
1. Get new recoil springs?
Perhaps the recoil spring in the blowback unit is not strong enough to pull the loading muzzle back into its seating position

2. Get new blowback unit?
Perhaps the rubber tip on the cup seal has somehow gotten all soggy causing it the loading too much friction when it re-seats

3. Get Blowback unit and recoil springs?
- Just for the hell of it

4. Get parts sanded down for Metal Slide to fit in properly
Or I just sell it back out, TM slide is working fine
