So I lost a tappet plate this weekend (;_;7 RIP) from my VFC M4. I had a spare Modify tappet but upon installing it, it wasn't feeding at all. Best I can figure, the nozzle now sits too far forward at it's rearmost position, enough so that it blocks the BBs from feeding into the chamber. This is confirmed by releasing the front body pin, sliding the upper reciever forward a bit, then firing. This allows bbs to feed.

The only other explanation I can think of is that there is too much spring tension on my tappet spring since I have cut a few coils off this so that it will feed midcaps properly. That said, that spring fed fine with the VFC tappet (though perhaps contributed to the tappet failure).

My question: Who has had this problem before? What brand tappet have you successfully used in a VFC V2? Any ideas on my problem?
