WE baby Hi-capa 3.8 upgrade questions

[Sully]

Ok so I have recently acquired a TSD/WE baby Hi-capa 3.8 with Caspian trades. I've searched through here and google but can't figure a couple things out. Mainly I am going to want to upgrade mostly the internals and possibly the slide in the near future but can't find info regarding upgrades for the 3.8, would parts for a 4.3 or a 5.1 work on a 3.8? I like the look of what I have now but a few mods couldn't hurt.

Any help and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

p.s. Here's what I have to work with:

You have a solid base which is sweet for you.

And you know what thats actually not a 3.8 base its a 5.1 base but with a 3.8 slide

So basically you can put any TM parts or you can even put on a TM Slide with TM internal

Although you do not have a TM middle metal frame you probably won't hear a crisp loading sound like you would with a TM frame but with that WE a TM slide with TM internals will sound much better than the 3.8 one you have

That handle you have also looks like a TM one or maybe a really good clone of it

so 5.1 internals would work with this? All I really know about this gun is that it's 100% stock. This is my first GBB and aside from the basics like how to load it, fill it with gas (which will be propane once I get the adapter) rack the slide engage the safety and pull the trigger I know squat about this thing.

Just give me your budget and I'll max it out with yummy parts.

... might as well just give me your bank card and PIN.

hahaha Don't tempt me with the bank card idea . I do have a spare one here. I'm looking at spending around $200-$300ish but that total is definitely up for changes. I want it to be tactical but with some definite spiffyness.

Are you just interested in changing the appearance or are you more after performance?

Mostly performance, but I would not be too opposed to changing the aesthetics of it as long as it still looks like it is a Hi-capa to some degree and is still tactical in application.

[ILLusion]

What performance aspects are you after?

- Cycling speed
- Power/velocity
- Durability
- Accuracy

List out an order from most to least important

- Durability

- kind of a toss up between power/velocity and cycling speed
