Illusion:

can you rate the folow brands for quality and consistancy (1-10 on Guarder, systema, FTK and stock gears on an ICS gun so that I can make a educated choice for price/performance. or does this vary to much part to part to give an accurate performance summery?

The end result that I want with this gun:
- 300 fps max (M90 varried compression spring ??)
- very good shot consistancy
- quiet mechbox as best as I can (silent piston head, ball bearings not bushings etc.)
- accuracy
- stupid fast ROF (high speed gears and if I find a used eg1000 motor down the road)
- battery life and price is of no concern to me. Batteries are cheap and I can save up longer to get the job done. If I need to spend $300 so be it .. as long as the above results is what I get ... I'm good to go.

I'd rather take a few months to get things to where I want them then go middle ground and regret it later. i know quality is expensive, and goign cheap is useually not worth it. I have no intent on keeping any of the internals of the mechbox as this gun is very used. the gears all show signs of wear, the selector plate is on it's last leg and hte tappet plate is screwed becuase somone else had a "golden screwdriver" (CB and Ham radio guys will know what I mean). Bottom line I got a gun for cheap, now I want to make this little boys gun into a CQB BFG boom stick hehe.

Oh, I have read and heard different opnions on hopup buckings .. there is stock, hard and silicone which is made by Guarder I think. I tried to search but I want a bottom line as to what is the advantages or drawbacks of each type or if there is a definitive holly grail that I can buy that is just better then the rest. kn 6.04 barrel will be used in this gun and a max of 300 fps.

thanks guys, you are all a big help. I wish there was a toms ahrdware guide to performance parts for airsoft guns. The only thing I can go by (from what I have read so far) is what forum users say or talk around the field. So far I have seen very little actaul testing of parts from different manufactures to compare one to the other and the differences between them.
