If it's a complete G&P mechbox, what does the cylinder look like? If it's the silver-coloured one with ridges, then you will have a problem here. Those cylinders have a matte internal finish and sometimes poor lubrication. This can be a problem with shot consistnacy as well as longevity of the piston head o-ring. If it has this cylinder, it's likely a 2005-version mechbox and may also have the steel nozzle with the airseal o-ring. Replace this nozzle with another one 9different manufacturer) or remove the internal o-ring. You'll lose a few FPS, but it greatly increases the lifespan of the tappet plate as the cylinder head outlet also has this matte finish and makes for alot of friction against that nozzle.

The problem may also be in your hop-up as well. If this gun has sat for a long period of time, the hop-up may be dry and a little over engaged. Turn it all the way off, put some silicone oil in there (a drop or 2) and fire a few hundred rounds through it. Then re-adjust the hop-up and see where you are at.
