The 590mm barrel extension was scrapped. I actually picked up a ruler and looked at what the length would be. I'd basically not be able to walk around with it, unless I like dirt on the end of my gun, heh. It's now looking like it will either be a 455mm barrel, or a 363mm barrel with an appropriate silencer on the end, as well as goind high-torque build for better accuracy. I'll have to check out to see if Tanio Koba sells a 455 or 363 barrel.
The 363mm upgrade is a 5.9inch increase, with the 455mm being a 9inch increase (give or take a little bit). I believe the 455mm is a SiG550 barrel, could be wrong, though. I knwo the 363mm is a SiG551 barrel. As always, tightbore. The first upgrade I did was get a 247mm 6.03mm tightbore upgrade, heh. Can't live without it now. That'll also bring down the size of the silencer needed drastically, which in turn I guess generates less risk of the silencer breaking.
Out of the box I think I was shooting 370-ish, but now it seems to be going down. I think it might be a hop-up problem. I've been having trouble with this G3 hop-up since I got it (I even had to file down a part of the mechbox to fit the damned thing in, now I'm concerned that may have caused an issue), might switch back to the stock one and see if I get any improvement. Might also be an air-seal problem from when it was taken apart. For the spring, I want to try to go for an S140 (or M140, whichever) and see how well that goes. All else fails, I'll drop to a 120, or if I think it can handle more, jump to a 160.
Definitely going for a polycarbonate piston, though. I don't like metal+metal friction. Causes too much heat, don't want something to fuck up due to that.
MOSFET upgrade might be something I consider down the line. From what I know, it's a bit of a ROF upgrade. It may be something that makes it's way into my CQB kit with my 6.03mm 247mm tightbore. I like the SiG552 too much to buy a second gun to field, so I'll end up slapping together a second high-speed mechbox made completely for CQB and that's it. It'd never get fielded outside in a CQB loadout, tried that, failed horribly. Strictly for in-building or CQB-Outdoor matches.
PS. Been hit in the teeth before by a 400FPS, I still have all my teeth, mind you a small scar on my upper lip, but still all my teeth
