As for the gun running in CO2...
let me put it this way,

pot metal + 130psi (propane) = bad for mid-long term (10-16k life expectancy for internal)
pot metal + 150psi (regulated co2) =bad overall

If you want to run long term on CO2 I highly suggest you replace all the moving parts with steel.
-Bolt Carrier
-Hammer
-Disconnector aka 'Sear' for those who have no idea what they're talking about
-Trigger
-Valve Release Assembly aka Firing Pin
-Valve Locker
-Nozzle (add the iHop system to help strengthen the nozzle port)
I was already planning to upgrade to steel, and this thread is regarding a converted closed chamber to open chamber gun, which may have disadvantages over a gun designed out of the box for open chamber. I'd like to know if there are manufacturing differences that could act as weak points once converted to open chamber.
