M700... Because I want a solid balanced pressure...  ;D

Seems when im sniping in the heat on a full mag the magazine expands and when I try tofireit wont until I release a amount of gas.

That would b super cool. Hook up a gun to like a 45\45. I just got out of the pro cercuit after playing for 15 years so I got a few tanks handy lol. that would b cool to hook up a gbbr or aside arm to a remote line or something lime that

Brainplay over on ASF has probably the best guide around for making a rig for Tanaka based guns.

In regards to your gun firing, that's an issue with your gun.  An air rig will not necessarily fix that problem.

Then what could the problem with my gun be? When shooting in cooler weather it works fine?

First guess is you need a new striker spring.

That's what I was thinking... should I get the upgraded/stronger one?

Don't really have a choice in that.  Stock ones don't exactly grow on trees.
