Need advice on new parts to upgrade to.

    So, I cracked open my M4 cqbr last night to discover a snapped tappet plate and a faulty anti-reversal latch.

    Rather than buy a new gun outright like I intended to, I decided I'll just completely swap out the internals for more high end parts.

    So, I don't know what brand parts to get. At the moment I'm looking at the ULTIMATE upgrade parts AirsoftEire have on offer with a Tanio Koba Hop Twist Barrel for M4A1 (363mm, I've put the extended barrel on my M4)

    So, rather than go on instinct I decided to post here to get more experienced advice.

    I'm planning on swapping out everything, except maybe the gearbox shell. New barrel and motor too and I already got a new battery and guarder hop up. So what brand/type parts would you guys recommend? And thanks in advance!

    i'm new to airsoft so im not sure what parts your asking about but you mention a barrel, for this i recomend a madbull 6.03m 363 tight bore barrel and a madbull hopup to match, the hop up has a nice little catch on the inside to stop the bb's fallin out everytime you reload. both are about €30 each. you can find them on ebay aswell. just a thought.

    Those Ultimate parts arn't bad. There are a lot worst and a lot better IMO.

    But I'd probably just replace the two broken bits and go for a decent tight bore barrel.

    Johnny has a good point. Its going to cost you either 70-80 Euros to upgrade the whole box, plus 30 for a barrel, and 30 for a hopup... Or you could pop in a nice new tappet... g&p or Modify I recomend, and a new anti reversal... Modify (available from airsoft world in scotland, but cheap, and actually really good.)
    Barrel.... the TK twist is good at irish fps, maybe even an edge over the madbull, but its your call. Conventional tb, or twist... I use, and recomend both, Though the madbull is less effected by wind ive seen, but the tk gets better accuracy. (plus madbull will be cheaper)
    hope this helps,

    Thanks guys, I have a better idea of what to get now.
    A tappet plate takes priority as it's the one part that's actually broken, I inspected the reversal latch and it seems to be intact... Must have just me making a balls of the reassembly...
    I'm leaning upwards the Tk barrel for increaed accuracy as long as range doesn't suffer too much.
    I have a budget of 200 aswell so I'm not too bothered about price, though I'm keeping careful watch on it.
    So Madbull hop up has been added and a Modify tappet plate from Airsoftworld
    Do they take long to deliver? Also looking to get MOSFET wiring.
    Thanks again people!

    A twist barrel will run you about €70 to your door and will take about 2 weeks. I had one in an AEG for a while and didn't realy notice any difference between that and a good tight bore.

    I just popped a Madbull 6.03 into one mine and have to say, was seriously impressed.

    Hmm, well I'd be getting the twist from airsofteire, or do they source twists from Asia?
    If they do source I'd try get a madbull from QAS as I think they stock and sell them.

    Hobby do the Madbull ones also, they have some in stock, but I nabbed the last of 363mm ones yesterday.

    :(

    Well I guess the barrel isn't fully necessary yet, just need to get the essentials first, being an elusive tappet plate that is available in Ireland or Uk that can ship quickly...
