This, and I wanted to keep it as a simple spring rifle for my first build. My second build... Well I will cross that bridge when I get over this one.
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.

so a happy day today! got some mail that pleased me quite a bit, my tax return, and a bank statement. I now know that i have quite a bit more cash than i thought. my original budget was based off what i have in my wallet, as i thought i had nothing in the bank. yea... i was wrong about that one.>
any way im back for some help... i was looking to use mostly VSR10 internals... but all the barrels are waaaay to short, and ive read that the PDI hop up i was gonna use is prone to failure. im still wanting to use either a 190 or 170 spring. i also plan to get an IR-hop from HS5 armory.
so my dilemma is barrel, hop up chamber, bucking, cylinder, and piston, as all these were sorta blown out of the water when i read about the hop up failing. any suggestions? any place that i can start looking? my budget is around $250-$300. and the barrel needs to be a minimum of 500mm(id prefer a Prometheus 6.03 TBB)

hacksaw, bandsaw, lathe, pipe cutter... take your pick
this would allow me a longer barrel as well... as long as its between 500mm and say... 600mm(maybe a bit more) ill be good. i already have the barrel a bit on the short side so longer wont actually hurt at all. even by 100mm. would i have to use an M4 piston and cylinder then too?I'm just not a fan of the PDI chamber but I think you should try it with an M4 chamber and PRothemus barrel, why? Because the M4 chamber seems very easy to upgrade to an ER-hop, and it has a simple design with a long arm so a flat nub can be used too. Of course Cheeseman is more qualified than me to say this considering he does these as a job
