It would be hard for him with that low of a budget to make it semi-auto I would think.
Barrett M107 Build
I am making myself a replica Barrett M107 Bolt action Airsoft Rifle. As of right now I'm in the designing stage. Before I mill or lathe anything out, however, I need the internals. Problem: I don't know what the best internals are, and I really want the best I can get for my budget.
I have been told to look for Laylax, and so far I believe I will be using the Laylax PSS10 190SP Spring for VSR10(this is not for field play, solely for play with friends/recreational target shooting) I want the 600FPS, and I know it will not be easy to pull.
For the barrel I was thinking of using the Prometheus EG Precision Inner Barrel for TM M14 (500mm) because I have heard prometheus is good and I need a 500mm barrel.
I am planning on ordering parts from Airsoft GI(http://www.airsoftgi.com/) so this brings my total to $91. I still need hop-up and a piston(I was planning on making the cylinder myself, as it seems quite simple and I have access to a CNC lathe). I have 12 inches(I could probably push it to 15 inches) in which to fit the spring, piston, cylinder, and hop-up.
My budget is $200. This is a rough budget, I could probably got to around $225. So with what I already have around $109 left for the hop-up and piston. I need a full hop-up, and I do not plan on buying a boneyard gun. The reason I am asking for help is I do not know much about what is best for the internals of an airsoft rifle, and I am looking for good accuracy, range, and power and do not wish to get a bad part and have to buy another.
I will update this thread with reports and pictures of my progress when I get into the building stages.
Thank you!
P.S. If this is the wrong place to post this I apologize, it seemed like the best out of the options I had.

I think more along the lines of a lathe, because the barrel doesn't need to be cut all the way through at that spot, just a deep ring that the end of the bucking can go into. Really, you could just cut that piece off of the bucking and be fine, just make sure the end is sealed up tight.hacksaw, bandsaw, lathe, pipe cutter... take your pick
