I have discovered that the problem lies with the bolt face itself. The 'top' of the face's nozzle is a bit deformed, allowing gas to vet out the top. This puts a harsh backspin on the BB an' causes my problem. Since bolts are not readily available, I had to find other methods of fixin' it.

Solution:

After a bit of thinkin' sessions with myself, I have come up with a solution. The hop-up mechanism allows for total reversal with a bit of machining (To allow the hop-up bucking to sit at the bottom) I have essentially created a reverse hop-up that is neither permanent or temporary (As it can be reverted back to it's original position with a few minutes of dissassembly)

Here is a rough sketch of what I have done. Not shown are the small holes I needed to drill in the stock an' a nearby piece to allow for clearance of the hop-down screw.

Now, I am in hopes of findin' a new bolt so this problem will cease all together an' I will be able to use this gun with it's maximum range (It loses a bit with the hop-down system, not much, but enough to be noticeable)
