Hey guys,
So I've been playing with 3 stock TMs for the past 2 years, (SR16,AK,G36C), and have decided it's time for a new rifle with some additional range; which better suits the new terrain I've been playing in. I was looking for something a bit longer that's built solidly. So I'm very interested in picking up a G&G M14, which is about 350-360fps on .20s. But I'd like to take it up a bit, maybe just south of 400 on .25s. My understanding is that it has 7mm polycarb bushings and pretty decent internals (better than stock TM's).

My question for you is: Do you think that it can take a Prometheus MS120 or MS135 *pushing it* spring (in stock from my friend or I'd probably go with PDI) without putting considerable wear on the internals or potentially breaking gears etc. :?: I admit - I don't have much experience upgrading mechboxes (have done a couple) and was looking for some input from current M14 owners or experienced upgraders/smiths.

I'm probably going to be firing in semi most of the time and have both an 8.4v 3300mAh and 9.6 3000mAh at my disposal.

Thanks for your input!
