You don't really need a reinforced mechbox. Stock CA v3 can safely withstand a M120-equivilant, especially if you use a polycarb piston head instead of the aluminum. My recommendation is to go with a Prometheus non-linear spring, rather than a Systema. Same with inner barrel, go with Prometheus (or KM) stainless steel instead of Systema brass. You also don't need new bushings, stock CA 7mm bushing is fine.

Actually, backtracking a bit, I'd recommend against a M120-equiv spring. Replacing the stock CA ported cylinder with a portless cylinder and running a M110-equiv will achieve similar or better FPS compared to a M120-equiv and a ported cylinder. Easier on the internals, too. If you use a M110-equiv, you don't even really need to replace the gears. Just reshim it to improve upon the factor job.

You don't really need to put a riser under your RDS, unless you really want that really high RDS look.

IMO, 10.8v battery is criminal, both on the gun and other people. If you stick with that large a battery, you might want to consider rewiring to Deans connectors.
