The only way I found to keep the valve open is to use the actual stream of air coming from the blowoff valve itself to resist the negative pressure. It meant that I had to reposition the valve blocker in order to get a few decimeters of spacing for the floating valve to "float" on top of the intake hole on the loading muzzle. The result is as you've pointed out, weak "blowback" or no blowback at all since the valve will remain open..........and gas dumps on the first trigger pull since the disconnector wasn't tripped.
But you're right, the time could have been invested in looking at alternate solutions. I could've just switched the piston head back to the way it was but it would mean that I would have had to find another way of consuming gas effectively. I was barely making it to a full stack on a single fill when I got the gun. lol. I modified things and now It clears nearly 2 (24+1) stacks on a single fill.
The thing with the Airsoft Surgeon muzzle sets (I'm talking about the power up kit w/ the springs included) is that they seemed to fit very tightly with the BBH and the piston head. I had one installed on a 4.3 and the muzzle and piston head it came with had a lot of friction and prevented it from moving smoothly. Plus, the recoil spring shredded my two piece outerbarrel (it stripped the chamber threads). But that was on a 4.3. I think that recoil spring is made to tailor the 5.1 (as you've specified in previous posts, months back)
The Shooter's Design ones were ok. But again the piston heads I''ve paired it with didn't seal properly. At least, not on the Glock platform.

And months later, I still hold the same train of thought of not using the Airsoft Surgeon springs with a 4.3. They're simply too strong and too stiff. All sorts of problems are experienced with them in such a setup. I still prefer the Guarder springs for most uses.
