I'll most definitely take your advice about going with a stock AEG for a while before taking it down and modifying it. I wish I knew that having an AEG first would be better.... though the pistol only skirmish I played was a blast either way.

KWA have 9mm and 8mm Bushings The 9mm I have yet to see anywhere by themselves. And ICS Tends to have parts that are made only for its M4's meaning that most other upgrade parts won't work.
Going to TM (its normally the benchmark of the m4 world) even with nylon bushings the stock spring won't make them collapse anytime soon meaning its ready to go and since its TM everything fits it, externally and internally.
But this m4 still has down sides, the hop up being the biggest its a 2 piece system that is used so that way the gun can be taken apart like a real AR. This hop up unit is really bad for leaks which in turn leads to lower fps.
With upgrading a gun go with consistency rather than power. That way your gun will always work, and your shots will go where you tell them. And by doing this as well it prevents really bad brake downs.
The best way to make any m4 more consistent is to change the hop up to a one piece metal unit, with a tightbore barrel. It will increase fps, range and accuracy and you don't even need to open the mechbox. After that when you go into the mechbox things like metal bushings(if it doesn't already have it), Ball bearing spring guide, ball bearing piston head, and a non-ported cylinder, will make your shots have a smaller gap in fps. And this to won't hurt a mech box as it doesn't add stress to the system.
The general rule around our parts is buy a gun and play with it stock for a season and that way you will find out what the gun needs.
