I mentioned to another helpful hand above that more often than not the nozzle is a few mm into the magwell, preventing it from feeding, BUT I have seen it a few times go all the way back, which means its not too long, therefore must be another problem. I will cycle it as you said and get it in the rear position and see if a bb slides down inside. If it does, what does that mean? Do we go back to the overspin stopping at random different intervals, therefore putting the nozzle in different places and unable to feed?
Other than an AB mosfet, would using bushings rather than bearings make a difference? (I know it will slow the gears down slightly, but will it be enough? Is it that dramatic of a difference?).

No, where the nozzle stops is irrelevant. If it stops halfway back, that means the sector gear has only pulled the tappet plate halfway back and will pull it all the way back to load a BB before shooting.
Seeing the nozzle go all the way back doesn't mean the nozzle is not too long. Dropping a BB into the magwell with the nozzle all the way back will tell you if it's too long. If it isn't too long then gravity alone will be able to pull the BB into the chamber. If its too long then you will have to push it in with a screwdriver, and that is why your mag is having trouble.
Also, when you say it isn't feeding, do you mean it never shoots at all or does it sometimes work fine in semi?
