[ILLusion]

There are actually two "fingers" that point forward. One that rides along the frame to trip and hold down the disconnect lever, and another one higher up in the slide to keep the loading nozzle going straight. The one higher up that holds the nozzle in place is not easily visible by looking in the chamber - if you're talking about the leg on the bottom against the frame, I'm surprised your gun was able to cycle properly at all with it missing.

If you're talking about the leg that holds the nozzle in place, then yes - that would explain the problem you're having. Don't toss out that blowback unit, though. It's still usable with Guarder slides as Guarder slides require you to actually chop that piece off.

Curious: where'd you order the blowback unit from? I'm surprised you didn't order it from me... I thought my pricing would be cheaper than ordering it on your own overseas. If you can provide me with a link to a cheaper source that has stock, I can match pricing or do better.

fyi, I just took a look at this Davidson Custom products... looks like he is sourcing from the same manufacturer that Airsoft Surgeon, Creation and myself are using as well as several other manufacturers. His products are coming from their standard catalogue.
