-Scopes arent needed in airsoft, maybe 2x max. Eotech's are great but will run you 80 +, red dots are good for people on a budget.

-M120 is too much, 400fps is usually the limit, get a m100, no need for complete gearbox, get parts. ( Consult someone else for further info, I dont no too much about internals, ask someone such as Amos, who seems to know his stufff ).

-Get a complete, Prometheus on Ehobby is 50 bucks but includes more parts than the one of Airsoft Parts.

-6.03mm, perfect. Prometheus and Madbull make great barrels. 50+ for P, 30+ for MB

yes, your correct, but usally having a good inner barrel tends to make it jump 10fps, and its better to be safe than sorry for fps limits.
No need to make it fast either, get a high speed setup and start doing some high rounds per second. (330fps or lower)
trust me much more enjoyable

I love my EoTech to pieces. Get a decent clone, Its well worth it!

Get an RDS, if you then need magnification you can get a FTS magnifier.
Systema completes are good, but you should change it to a M110 spring and swap out the piston for something else.
Depending on what your gun is.... If it were me I would just get a prometheus NEO chamber and soft type rubber.
For inner barrels go 6.03 or 6.04. Systemas are nice, as are madbulls, but the best one still is prometheus. They tend to be a bit expensive, but.... worth it. I'm pretty happy with my madbull one, but it's up to you.

what gun do yu have BTW ?

[Con Murder]

My MilitaryAction 6.03mm is great paired with m100 plus bearing piston and bearing guide. The bearing sets increase the tension and make it shoot hard!

You don't want to put in too high a tension of spring cuz it will wear everything out. Most fully upgraded units are not field guns unless in the hands of a veteran airsofter. Mainly because the ones who are not experienced don't treat the gun with care, don't pay attention to detail with the physics of the weapon and don't heed the advise of others recomendations. The same guy with the same gun was fixing it yesterday instead of playing, don't be him.

Yeah, spend 50 bucks on something from EB Airsoft that's doubtfully going to work, or you can go to Ehobby or Red Wolf and get the G&P or King arms versions, proven to work well.
80$ G&P
100$ KA

If you get a clone you risk it, and EB airsoft's customer service is terrible.

IF you were refering to my comment, then I am confused.
If not, then I would suggest dont do it yourself, give it to a gun doc, 20 bucks or so labour, and saves you troubles
