Is it apsolutely necessary for me to upgrade my cylinder on my bar 10 as they are quite pricey. Is it ok to leave it stock or do i have to upgrade the cylinder head or the whole cylinder and head? I'm currently shooting at 490 fps. If it is mandatory, please say a good, but budget friendly option. Thanks :yup:

You only HAVE to upgrade it if the stock one fails. It's a durability upgrade, it does nothing for your performance.

I would recommend upgrading your trigger and piston to a 90 degree set before you upgrade your cylinder, if you're looking for upgrades

Jing Gong Bar10 cylinders can normally handle a M170 (560fps) and still last for a couple of years. So at 490fps, you are safe.

my stock cylinder ( after re-inforced and replaced with aluminium end shaft ) is still strong after 2 years. So I think you can save money for another first
