Why are u upgrading your gun? You are a noob, so keep it stock first. Learn how to use it, then upgrade. You want to know how it feels in stock form otherwise they can say they upgraded it when it truly wasn't.

well the company does it and the company seems pretty reputable (and LordMaul recommended it). If i just upgrade it before I get it, I won't have to worry about it later.

True -- but keep in mind you may be unable to play in CQB games. You may be better off with a 330-350fps upgrade, if you're dead-set on purchasing an upgraded gun. When you get up to 380-400fps, you may want to consider an aftermarket motor and/or gearset eventually.

hmm that makes sense. 350fps would only be a $75 upgrade, but I also wouldn't get "Systema Steel Bushings". Are those necessary (I originally decided on the 375 fps because it was only $5 more and came with those)? Also, is it worth it to get full stock in order to easily put in the large 8.4v 3000mah battery, or will a collapsible stock with a 8.4v 600mah hidden somewhere suffice?

You'll probably get at least 800 shots from a 600mah on a stock gun. I've pulled ~900 out of my P90. Figure 1 - 1.5 shots per mah.

80 bucks for an upgrade? Sounds a little steep -- bushings shouldn't be much more than $15-20, same for a spring...it shouldn't be a $40 job. Steel bushings are definitely a good idea, though..and Systema makes good stuff (my AUG's guts are mostly/all Systema :p)..

"Custom gearbox work to ensure smooth operation" is also part of that upgrade package. Dunno what that is worth though lol

Which retailer is this from -- Redwolf..Uncompany..Dentrinity..?

I've never ordered from Redwolf..so I guess you'd want to talk to LordMaul about that one.

I was hit with a $40 customs fee when I used TNT shipping for my Dentrinity order..I've read that you shouldn't get charged customs if you use EMS Speedpost, but again..that was years ago, so maybe it has changed.

redwolf says that custom fees are taken care of (I think), but thanks for the heads up

Make sure you have someone to play with too. You don't want to just be plinking soda cans with a $300+ airsoft rifle...
