Fps/Feeding Issues Please Help

Thanks everyone. I think I may just buy a new tappet plate and spring. Does anyone have any suggestions for a replacement?

If it is compatible with V2 tappet plates, I recommend the Lonex V2 Enhanced Tappet. I've used them in literally everything I've built.
A good (and cheaper) alternative would be the SHS V2 Tappet.
Both are under $10 and both are made of glass-fiber-filled nylon.

So, i'm thinking of just buying a new cylinder head, tappet plate, and tappet plate spring. However, i'm not sure about the parts being compatible. Here's what I have currently:

Get everything from Brill Armory here: www.brillarmory.com/
The prices tend to be better and you'll save on shipping (everything will come from the same place).

As for whether or not that stuff will fit: I have no idea. I don't know very much about Masadas.

Massada's have a ver. 3 gearbox?

[zephurah]

It's considered a hybrid gearbox, it's the version 2's shape, but a little bit elongated. Also, it has a motor cage attached.

[zephurah]

So, is there a size difference between a version 2 and 3's cylinder? Because I know I need a longer cylinder nozzle, and most of them are v3s.

[T6e9a]

Cylinder nozzle? Or cylinder head nozzle?

On brill they sell a few different cylinder heads, some of which have a longer nozzle tube on the cylinder head(generally for g36), other are just standard size.
Make sure your gearbox can take the style of head for the elongate one. And worst case, you can trim it down to just long enough if its too long.

But I second CS with ordering from brill. Prices are very reasonable, and shipping from the same place, generally within 2 days of your order iME.

And the owner, Louis Brill, is a very cool guy. 

[zephurah]

So I ordered an elongated SHS ver.3 nozzle from eHobbyAsia. I plan on getting all the other parts I need from brill. Thanks guys.

Not sure if that will work with the PTS masada. It might, but if it is the air nozzle you are talking about, I would go with this:

But if you were talking about the cylinder head by any chance, with the longer central tube like such:

It might need slight modification to fit, but should work fine.

[zephurah]

I do not need a new nozzle, the old one is in perfect condition. Also, that is not the cylinder head I purchased.

[T6e9a]

I am aware of that. It's just your wording in the last few posts hasn't been all that clearly understandable. (Mix up with the cylinder head, nozzle, etc)

But regardless, I'm sure what you ordered should work with little to no modification.

Good news everyone! After extensive amounts of hours, $50 and some elbow grease, the replica works! However, there is one small remaining issue. It lies inside the hop up unit itself. You see, there is a trade off occurring. When the feeding nozzle is looked through, you can clearly see the outline of a bucking. The bucking in this case is actually inhibiting the bbs from entering the hopup chamber. Now, if shimmed, the bucking sits slightly forward, but the resulting gap between the air nozzle and the bucking drops the fps from about 350? to about 250.
