Don't get caught up in the upgrade hype!

A stock 2K3 cocker is an awesome marker right out of the box. IMHO, the most effective upgrades for you are a new barrel (you've got that), a spring kit, and possibly a Nitro system (especially if you play in cold weather).

The spring kit does a couple of things. First, it allows you to fine tune your internals. You can lower your operating and pneumatic pressure which will make the gun a bit quieter and help prevent chops. A spring kit also helps if you want to learn how your marker operates and how to maintain it. This assumes that you like to tinker and planned on doing your own maintainance and tuning. You will need a valve tool in order to install a new valve spring.

If you ever play in cold weather (under 40 degrees) you will want to switch from CO2 to HPA. This assumes you have access to HPA. You will have much greater consistancy over a wide range of temperatures. (CO2 is VERY temperature sensitive).

As far a pneumatics and internals, the stock parts are as good or better than many so-called 'upgrades'. WGP has made many improvements over the years, and while the stock parts 5 years ago may have left something to be desired, the current parts are great.
