Here's an idea... Play with it stock and figure out what you like about it and what you don't. Then change the things you don't. I did a 24-hour game with it right out of the box and didn't have any problems at all. Left it stock for that year. The next year, I put on a Bigshot barrel and had the internals Teflon coated and new powder coating on the outside. The rest is cosmetic.

Top priority is a barrel. There lots to choose from so do your homework and you have numerous options. Other than that just play with it and see what fits your needs.

Bah! Barrel, nothing longer that 14". J-J Ceramic, All American or St!ffi. HPA Air. Crossfire 68/4500 with a 800 psi preset output. Regulator. Bob Long torpedo or Palmers. Egrip. Most fields do not allow R/T's |

Always barrel first. Make that choice depending on what you want, there are a million recommendations on barrels for sound supression, range, and accuracy.
After that, I would decide what's more important to you: firepower or consistancy. If you want firepower, get the R/T or E-Grip depending on what is legal for you and what you prefer. If you want consistancy, on the cheap end you can get a palmers, and on the expensive end you can get HPA with or without the LPK. |
