Upgrading

[Chubbs]

Alright, so the time has come where I'm starting to invest some time and money for some nice internal upgrades. My first priority right now is range and accuracy. Secondly some parts for overall longevity. My Budget isn't the highest but i want to get my moneys worth so I'm looking to spend around $200 ish.

What I was thinking about for parts for range and accuracy were,
Prometheus 407mm 6.03 TBB
Madbull Ultimate Hop Up Chamber
Prometheus Soft Type Bucking

As for Other internal parts I was looking at these;
Matrix Ball Bearing v2 Spring Guide
Matrix High Performance CNC Air Nozzle
Angel Custom "Seraph Angel" High Performance Polycarbonate Piston with Steel Teeth
Matrix Mushroom Type Silent Ball Bearing Shock Reduction Piston Head
And finally either an M95 or M100 spring.

So if you guys could give me your opinion on my selected parts or other high quality parts it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

I asked maverick about the Angel Custom parts, and he told me that they were just chinese clones. I personally wouldn't trust them.

I haven't used any of the AEG Angel custom parts, but the parts I got for my sniper rifle that were made by them were superior to the matrix parts I had.

Ok, so you're about to embark on one of the most fun and frustrating airsoft journeys you will ever take. First and foremost, be prepared to be frustrated and assemble and disassemble your gun countless times. As for the parts...

The Prometheus bucking and barrel are nice but you'd save a lot of money just buying a Guarder bucking and Madbull Black Python 6.03. I currently use them in my rifle and it fires flawlessly and pinpoint accurate. Also, I have the Madbull 3-in-1 hop-up and although it is lovely, it is only compatible with certain buckings and most need to be modified. Luckily, I found with the Guarder 70% bucking, it fits fine.

TL;DR Buy a cheaper bucking (Guarder if you want to be sure it's compatible with the Madbull hop-up) Buy a Madbull inner barrel. Cheaper and just as effective.

As for the other internal parts, you got a pretty solid list. I wouldn't recommend upgrading the spring guide unless yours is plastic or broken. Unless you just have money to burn. It's not a vital component. The Matrix CNC products tend to be pretty good quality for the price. I use the "Guarder High Precision Oil Tampered Nozzle" and that works incredibly. Pretty much if you go with Guarder, you won't be sorry.

This is incorrect. Angel Custom is simply a rebrand of Laylax. They're bought directly from the factory and sold under a different brand name. Anyways, a piston with steel teeth is a must-have when you're going to upgrade. When I upgraded all my parts except the piston, the piston teeth were the first thing to strip. Also AoE by means of washers and shims is important...but I digress. I know nothing about that piston head, and finally, the most consistent springs are arguably guarder. There was a study on it. I'll see if I can find it and post it....Anyways, happy upgrading!

EDIT: Also, it appears Evike is manufacturing their own products under the "Angel Custom" name such as their suppressors and sr-47 magazines. Kind of sketchy to purchase the products this early.
