Can i just loctite this thing back together? Is the kick or slide returning to battery too strong that it blows the outer barrel right off?

That's exactly the problem - exacerbated by the insane spring you're using for that setup.
Ditch the Airsoft Surgeon spring until you've at least upgraded to a heavier slide. It's too much for a stock Hi-Capa 4.3.

or will it work?
2) can I just run green gas out of the box? I purchased some 134a at evike but think I would want the extra "oomph" of green gas. or are there simple, cheap mods I need to do first? I have the 5.1 and a second tm mag on the way. |
1) Yep. That's the gold you got right there.
2) It will handle propane just fine. However, with the 5.1, there is a tendency for the slide to crack, originating at one of the sharp corners of the rear sight mount. For some users, it only takes a few hundred rounds. For others, they can go tens of thousands of rounds. Install a shock buffer to mitigate the risk of cracking.
