Your first upgrade is ALWAYs Nitrogen. $100 up

Second is a shortened 3 way. $35
It will significantly reduce the frequency of short strokes and chops.

Third is a Besales roller shear. $50
If you are sticking with a slide trigger. It will be super light and buttery smooth.

If you are going for a hinge be sure to cough up the money for one with front and rear trigger travel stops. Otherwise, you have a LONGER trigger travel than the stock slide. The lever trigger of the hinge just seems to allow me to jerk the markers point of aim off more easily than with a slide. Borrow one to shoot and check for barrel wobble at high rates of fire compared to a slide. Lots of people like the hinges but they seem to be the newer players.

If you want light, short, smooth trigger pull for less money, you can get the Besales Sear and a real nice, indestructable Benchmark grip for the same price or less.

Forth, all stainless Madman Spring set. $13

Fifth, LP valve $40-60
Valve removal tool for the valve and spring changes $12-16.
A $20 1" mini guage 0-500 or 0-1200 psi will fit right in the plugged hole in the bottom of the front block. Same thread. Nice to have so you can monitor what pressure your main reg is set at. You can leave it there or replug the hole when you are done tinkering with your operating pressures. If you get the larger guage you will have interference problems with the reg. You can buy a 90 degree elbow and mount it so you can see the guage from the side $3 from you local pneumatic supplier like Praxair.

The stock inline regs and front pneumatic regs are more than adequate for ANY set up including LP. You do NOT need to upgrade them except for the convenience of the external adjustments. You will discover you leave them alone once they are set and get irritated when they get bumped and out of adjustment. If you go for an externally adjustable inline, get one that is a recessed allen screw rather than a knob that will get bumped and creep on you. I buy stock regs for our anti tank weaponry being developed by our local Milita group. D-Day is just around the corner.

Stock rams are fine too. No need to change except for cosmetic purposes. They can keep up with 10 rps. The stock bolt is about as free flow as you can get for LP. No need to change.

There, we didn't break the bank but you can have some REAL performance improvements you can see on the field of play.
