Need help with my SAW

I have an Echo 1 SAW (Para model) that is malfunctioning. It will shoot a few rounds then jam.From what I can tell,it looks like the air nozzle is not retracting all the way and the bb's hit the side of it and jam.I've already taken it to 2 different people who said they knew what they were doing(and spent 100 bucks between them) and it still does the same thing.Can someone who REALLY KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING!! please help.

maybe the shimmng is bad on the sector gear which is making the tappet plate not pull back the nozzle.

This is a problem with the gear box, to fix it you would have to disassemble the weapon, remove the gear box, disassemble the gear box, and re-align the gears - not a trival task. How old is the weapon? Have you used it heavily? If so maybe an easier course of action is to just upgrade the gear box - that should give it new life for several more years.
