Isn't the P22 a fixed barrel model? So the barrel doesn't need to tilt to unlock the gun from battery. So adding a can shouldn't impact function, but actually cause more blowback, no? I have a Ruger Charger 10/22, and the action functions MORE reliably with the can on it, as the expanding gasses are caught in the can and back pressure is increased slightly. (Runs dirtier, too, but that is a story for another thread on another day.)
I am all about finding out the issue and rectifying it, so this chopping the spring until you get it to work right, sounds like a solid plan. I also like your idea of getting another factory OEM spring to put back in when running sonic.
