advanced gundoc techniques

Seriously though, check out airsoftmechanics.com - sign up and read read read and read some more. I have learned gobs from lurking on that site and reading everything I can.

That suggestion by ThunderCactus to strive for perfect compression is one of the best things you can do to enhance accuracy and consistency.

Some sort of MOSFET is always a good idea (the old AWS Raptor is a good bet ... or the shiney new BTC Spectre if you can find one in stock). You will greatly extend the life of your trigger contacts and you will get more shots per charge [from your battery]. IMHO, avoid anything active braking because that's rather hard on the motor.

Any lastly, besides a sorbo pad (on the cylinder head to correct angle of engagement), shims (use the bevel to pinion method), viton piston o-ring (remember to lightly grease it with SuperLube), a decent hobup rubber (or optimally an R-Hop) and a high-end inner barrel (Prometheus, PDI), there really isn't any compelling reason to replace the stock internals until you have a reason to (ie. they break). Unless of course you have a G&P with those funky sintered gears that tend to melt ... but that's another story.

BTW - if you didn't understand one or more points in the last paragraph, you haven't spent enough time reading and absorbing on airsoftmechanics!

I already have many indoor guns that function well enough for play. Ive heard of things such as polishing bushings and bearings, "swish cheesing" the piston, removing teeth from gears and pistons and so forth. If i had the time and money i wouldnt be dealing with lower end patts and would probably just pay to have em upgraded and fine tuned, but apperently my fiance thinks that a wedding is more important (women...) I think it would be better to try something new with lower priced parts first and move up to high end once i have the skills and money to do so. I a have signed up for an account on airsoft mechanic. Thank you for sending me their way as that is more what i was looking for.

I concur. Shit is actually the easiest thing they can turn into gold.

Wrap the end of your hopup rubber with teflon tape for more airseal
Shave the tappet plate slightly to seat the nozzle a bit further in your hopup if needed.

There are many I could list, but most advanced techniques are case by case, just involves looking over your set up, looking for improvements, and doing as little as possible to fix, doing to much may do more harm than good.

How about using continuous lengths of wire and proper heatshrink?
Almost every gun that I've come across that's had a "reputable gun doc" work on it, have had wire haphazardly soldered together and wrapped with electrical tape.

Come on guys, we're better than this.
