Hello everyone!

First post on these forums, though I have been browsing them for years as a guest, and although the site contains an absolutely ridiculous amount of useful information, I still have a few specific questions unanswered which I hope you can all help me with today!

So, as the title briefly states, I'm upgrading my G&G M14 and am looking for around 500 FPS with .2's; it's currently at 380 with .25's. After looking at a few other threads on this forum and talking around my local Airsoft community my wish list looks like this:

*Prometheus EG Hard Gear Set Max
http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwol...l?prodID=22399
*Systema Magnum Motor (Short Type)
http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwol...l?prodID=21302
*Prometheus EG Spring Guide w. Smoother v.3
http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwol...l?prodID=21364
*7mm oil less bushings
*Tight bore barrel
*New hop up?
*Mosfet switch
*Spring
*Air Seal nozzel?

So, a few questions from me, which I hope you can help with:

*Do brand names matter when it comes to spring guides? Prometheus, Guarder, Systema - is one really better than the other?

*Do brand names matter when it comes to bushings?

*Which brand inner diameter tight bore should I go for, and I have heard that at 6.03mm and below the hop up stops working (the stock is a 6.04 barrel)?

*If the above is correct, will buying a new hop up unit solve the loss of the stock hop up at 6.03, allowing me to go tighter?

*If the above is correct again, is it worth it getting a new hop up unit for the gun, I have read that it uses an aug style hop up, but are there any recommended brand names, or specific types of hop up I should be looking for, like 1 or 2 tipped?

*What power spring would I need for that type of FPS, and is there any clear brand winner in that department, or at least brands to steer clear of?

*Would I need an Air seal nozzel for it, I'm not even 100% sure as to what it is, but are there any parts that people would recommend to reduce air loss and therefore increase power, or at least consistency.

I don't really know if I would need to upgrade the cylinder and cylinder head at that sort of FPS range, but in any case I can't for the life of me find out how long the cylinder is, and similarly I have been told by G&G that the cylinder head is 100% unique, and there are no after market parts for it.

This is turning into a long first post, but I'll keep going!

With my current AEG it's all stock and although I get good distance on .25's it's lacking accuracy, BB's splay left and right more often than they do go dead straight, is this because of the barrel, the hop up or something else I'm overlooking?

So, lots of questions and a fair bit of cash - that's why I want to get it right first time, all of you G&G M14 experts out there, fire away!

Looking forward to replies!
