VFC HK416 (GBB) - Low FPS

Hey guys! Myself or Local techs have not been able to diagnose the problem. So I am really hopping someone on here will be able to crack this one. I purchased the rifle about a month ago, Played with it a few times. I noticed a week ago that my FPS was around 300. Figured it was the bolt so i ordered a new one. With new bolt in My fps is sitting around 350 currently. However when I purchased the gun it was shooting around 410-420 range.

Things i have tried.
-Cleaned out barrel.
-Checked condition of hop-op
-Tried hop up off/on
-Tried heavier bb's
-Checked loading nozzle

Any suggestions or possible solutions would be amazing.
Thanks in advance!

-Camps

are you using a fresh can of gas?
broken or cracked nozzle, or damaged oring in the nozzle/piston.
worn valve knocker, worn hammer spring.
the nozzle, oring and valve knocker should be relatively easy to check.
not sure what else it could be. Gas is funny like that some times.

^^ and I would add to that the obvious but easy to forget about:

Weather is getting colder every days. Just a few degrees variation can provoke fps fluctuations quite a bit. Just a "maybe" to consider

But I would put my vote on cracked nozzle, unless your new bolt came with a new one
