So I smoked-out my old CYMA trigger contacts and wiring the other day on my Marui/CYMA M14 hybrid after years of hard skirmishing.

I decided that I would take it as a blessing in disguise and finally get around do rebuilding it in a more "complete" sense. I have quite a few of the specific part-groups already selected/available, but there are a few key things I'm looking to change on it. Having said that; it's a version-7 setup; which I am minimally familiar with (aside from the basics and how to disassemble/reassemble the gearbox).


TL;DR
The one thing I have little to zero experience in is modifying the cylinder/piston group with aftermarket parts. I want to replace the Cylinder Head, Piston, and Piston Head with a good, solid setup. I'm happy with both the CYMA and Marui cylinders as they offer quite a good seal and show little sign of wear.

Some fundamentals of my rifle that may be helpful in deciding which parts to go with:

-Running a Prometheus 120 spring; shooting approximately 435 FPS
-Stock CYMA motor that offers low RPS (due to the heavy spring), but going to change to a high-torque
-Prometheus 6.03 TBB
-Stock CYMA gears
-Tokyo Marui stock trigger contacts
-Silver low-resistance wiring (newly installed post-smokeout)
-Tokyo Marui stock hop-up unit with Baton Ryosoku flat-hop
-SHS springset
-Still using the CYMA gearbox shell; but may swap back to the original TM shell. Can't really tell the difference in quality between the two, to be honest.
-Currently the primary motor-connection is deans, leading to standard small-tamiya at the battery-connection end. I only had one pair of each available in my spare-bin, so for now it will have to do (interested to try it out though as I honestly prefer tamiya's on the battery end anyway, for convenience's sake)


Not looking to go with a high-speed setup; only thing I might change aside from this new cylinder grouping is a high-torque motor for better response on the 120 spring.


Sorry for the wall-o-text; but anyone who is even casually interested in spitballing on an M14 project is encouraged to throw their feedback in.

Any and all expertise is welcome, of course. I'm a huge fan of the platform, but unfortunately, I haven't had the time or money to explore the performance of all the different aftermarkets for the Marui V7 types.

Thanks for reading.
