I am interested in getting the most realistic AEG, and having always been partial to the M-16 Carbine I am pretty sure I will go the Systema M4A1 route. From what I can tell these are the absolute highest quality albeit pricey, with arguably the G&P versions coming in second.

I have done a TON of reading the posts here and elsewhere, as well Googling and I have the following questions regarding the Systema M4A1:

1) A review I read indicated a 6.1mm inner barrel with resulting poor accuracy and no barrel upgrade possible. Yet I read in a thread here, that they all ship with a 6.04mm tightbore barrel. Is one newer? From those who have this weapon- what can I expect for accuracy etc?

2) I am thinking of special ordering the Challenge kit through a Canadian retailer (which lists on US websites for ~$600 LESS than the fully assembled ones). I am mechanically inclined and like "building things". Does anybody have any experience building this kit in particular?

3) I have noticed different battery requirements for different Systema models. I assume these are for different cylinders with corresponding different power? Any recommendations here?

Thanks (and please be gentle with me) !
