What upgrades would you give a TM M14 if you had 50 dollars or so,(I can scrounge up mroe money if what you recommend is a little over my budget by 50 or so dollars)? Strictly to improve accuarcy,range, and consistency? Since it has 280 fps I figured I'd upgrade the fps to a spring that would be shooting 380 fps. What's the max fps the gun can handle? I'm a bit stuck inbetween either a m`6, or a m14 so sorry for asking questions about a different type of gun.
building a DMR
I don't know if this is enough to make a DMR or not, but I have a 440 dollar budget. I like M4/m16/m4 varriant, and I wasn't sure what base/platform gun I should get, and how much one should pay on one. Also could you type out a list of internal upgrades to buy for the gun within my budget? Is it possible to get a gun in this price range to make a dmr and have the gun have solid externals,(won't break, no wobbles, etc,)? Thanks ahead of time guys I appreciate the help.

Rather than a TM M14, I'd opt for a G&G M14. I've seen people tag enemies with those at ranges of ~200' while stock. Not to mention the simplified gearbox that G&G has in their M14. The TM V7 can be daunting to work on.
MAte if you are going for an M14 TM all the way, a fella has one of those at our site and he is tagging people off at 150ft which for a gun around 300fps is amazing. They re harder to work with but amazing stock.
Sorry for double posting but simply get a new barrel. Do't touch the hop till you have to as they have an amazingly good hop up unit, and I would put in a 350fps spring until you start replacing parts.batman said:What upgrades would you give a TM M14 if you had 50 dollars or so,(I can scrounge up mroe money if what you recommend is a little over my budget by 50 or so dollars)?

I thought most high end stock aeg's that are made for field games could hit 150 descently accurately. If I got one of those m16's they would be shooting the same max accurate range if this is true, and I would have double or so money to spend on upgrades. I'm going where the best deal is.
Some guys on another forum advised me to instead of buying a TM M14 and upgrading it with 50$, 100$ if I do the work my self. That I buy a cyma M14 and spend 340/390 on upgrades. What do you guys think about that?

TBH I would get an m16 if you want a gun that is reasonably cheap and easily upgradeable. With CYMA you have to consider how long the body etc. Will last if you want this to be a long term gun. That is why people buy the higher end models, logetivity.batman said:I thought most high end stock aeg's that are made for field games could hit 150 descently accurately.

So I've heard that the vfcf m16 is better than the ics m16,(heard the sr12 is hard to upgrade) So with 150$ what upgrades would you give the gun, and what would the guns performance be accuracy/range wise?
It's in the hands of the tech to be honest.
Decided I'm going with the M14 look, so other people have told me to go in with a CYMA and upgrade it with 320 dollars or so worth of upgrades, rather than buying a TM M14 and upgrading it with 50 dollars or so. What upgrades would you give the CYMA M14 to make it as close to a DMR as possible, brands/parts? Do you guys think that going with the CYMA is a bad choice? Also could you could you give a list of upgraded parts/brands you would recommend?
Yeah I know I've been bouncing here but watching BHD, and seeing it in action by one of America's elite unit I fell in love with the gun.

I'd start with looking at SHS parts.
Im sorry to disagree with you decision of the cyma but I strongly suggest you change your mind. Even with all those internals inside of it, it will still feel like a cyma. If your going to make a dmr you might as well not skimp out ANYWHERE. Skimping out to save a little cash here will bite you in the butt in the long run. I promise you that. I think most people would consider it blasphemy to go with a m14 style and pick anything but a TM. Unless you were going for one of the advanced m14 looks that cyma makes the body style for. But its still going to be cyma plastic. That's just my 2 cents.
You can get metal CYMA M14s which are actually really nice...
Same concept goes for bolt actions in terms of the clone VS higher quality guns. Personally, I will take a plastic body/cheap body and pocket the extra cash over the higher quality gun any day. After all, its the internals that really matter. And this is coming from a guy who has used both clones and the higher end brand weapons.razgriz22 said:Im sorry to disagree with you decision of the cyma but I strongly suggest you change your mind.

ICS is great but will take work, KWA shoot pretty solid out of the box
.What do you guys think of that link and what it says about which brands to buy good list? And right now I'm not sure which brand to go with now at the end of this I don't know if it's possible but I would like to be shooting 200+ feet accurately. I'm sorry to say but now I'm pretty lost on which brand KWA(which doesn't have a m14), ICS, G&P, G&G CYMA, TM, etc. I hope someone can clear this up for me.
Just bought a CYMA m14 off another member. Will post some shooting results and such once I get her.
I actually like the stock look of the M14 quite nicely, ebbr is nice too.
So you don't think I'll be skimping out with the CYMA if I use the rest of my money solely on internal upgrades?
