if you have another TM/KJ/WE hicapa/1911/M9/G17/226/whatever with the (pre-PX4/XDM) screw-secured piston heads, you can swap and test them to see if you have a seal issue. at that point you could also see if your nozzle is cracked and maybe inspect the rocket valve at the same time.

is it sluggish all the time, or the usual almost-outta-gas business? with GBBs before ordering parts and whatnot, I like to suggest seeing if your green gas/propane bottle is running low. believe me, I've felt like an idiot disassembling a pistol to look for issues when I'm gassing up from an empty propane bottle.
The blowback seems alright usually for the first 4 to 10 shots then it starts to become very sluggish and even the sound begins to change (as most gbbp s do when they're almost out of gas). In that case, do you think it would be better to just move on to a better platform then?
