Not really.

The TM Loading muzzles don't fit the WE muzzle housing. It's too big. You can go WE loading muzzle to TM muzzle housing but not TM nozzle to WE housing....

that nub is breaking either because the loading muzzle spring is not functioning or the plunger under the extractor plate is too long. If it's long enough, the loading muzzle's little nub will slam against that plunger. The force of them two colliding will sever the nub completely depending on if the slide is still recoiling to the rear.

I said it before. And I will repost it again. ..

That nub can only break in two ways:

the first is if the loading muzzle's return spring is too strong and slams the loading muzzle against the BBH too hard. This is a rarity that it will break like this since there is first impact point i mentioned above to cushion to blow.

the Second is if the return spring is not able to overcome the the force of the slide as it travels to the rear forcing the loading muzzle to remain stationary while all the other parts are moving around it. This action will slam that nub to the FRONT of the BBH rather than the back. At this point, the only thing that cushions the blow is the nub. This is why this part fails or breaks. It's the ONLY impact point during this time.

I would check to make sure that the muzzle return spring can function properly. That is, it is able to push the loading muzzle back to battery. Make sure that the plastic plunger does not go inside of the muzzle.

THe second thing I would check is to see if there is any contact friction between anything surrounding the loading muzzle. This can be from the magazine's gas route packing, the BBH, even the hop up unit.


hope it helps....
