A good hop up rubber and quality tight bore inner barrel should go a long way towards helping your grouping at distance.

Pushing an AEG to run accurate at 73 meters will require more than just a hop up and inner barrel upgrade. Significant internal changes will be required. FPS will have to be boosted and all internals will need to replaced with reenforced ones to handle the output.
Without getting too deep into physics; some people will say a huge boost in FPS means more range, while they are correct, they are only partially correct.
For example. Lets take a 0.12g airsoft BB and fire it out of something at 500fps. Will it be traveling at 500FPS when it leaves the barrel? yes! Will it be traveling at 500fps 30 feet after it leaves the barrel? No! (maybe! but probly not. Im not a physicist). Due to the light weight of the BB it doesnt have the ability to carry the momentum required to go the distance. The very air its pushing against is enough to slow it down significantly!
So you need to find a balance between a BB weight, a decent FPS and match that with a quality hopup to achieve your goal. Unfortunately there is a limit to how much FPS you can have, those are governed by your local fields. A limit is not a goal, and by no means should be considered one.
I run an M4 that shoots at 385fps with a 0.20g BB. However I actually run it with 0.28g bbs. With the combined operation of a good fps (good being relevant to my on needs), decent bb weight, inner barrel and quality hopup I am able to be relatively accurate out to about 50 meters and a little bit beyond occasionally when she feels like cooperating.
Perhaps it would be best to have your friend send you some of those videos of how those people got their guns to push that distance and you could simply follow suit.
As for your WE M14, I do not possess any knowledge on gas operate rifles.

Thank you for the info. This is not a gun I use in my local fields. Our friend owns 16 acres that she used to have set up as a local paintball arena. This is a gun I use there amongst our small group. Generally, we just take them and play so I'm not to worried about FPS limits. It's more of just a recreational weapon to be used privately, though I still don't want to hurt anyone. Distance and accuracy is my goal really. I'm also not to concerned about cost either. It's a project gun that is not my local area choice.
