I have recently purchased an older model ICS M4 (Split Mechbox) from a friend, and am looking at upgrading/replacing the internals of the gun.
As far as I know the gun is completely stock, it functions and is well shimmed. However the performance is lacking substantially and I would be willing to put in as much money as it took to make it perform well.

I've been doing research and have been getting fairly mixed opinions about the ability to upgrade ICS platforms. Some say they are TM compatible (apart from the casing and anti-reversal latch) and some say they have a lot of issues putting non-ICS parts in.

I've put together a list of parts I was considering for upgrading, and would greatly appreciate some advice as to whether these would be good options for my ICS, or whether they wouldn't.

Guarder Poly Carb Piston
Prometheus Non-liner M110 spring
Systema Area 1000 V2 Cylinder Head
Systema Area 1000 Cylinder Type 1
ICS Version 2 Spring guide
Systema Duracon Piston Head
Systema Hop-up Bucking
ICS hop up spacer
Madbull V2 Precision Barrel

The motor in my ICS is the Turbo 3000, which I hear is quite good and able to pull very heavy springs. The gears are stock however, so would it be a good idea to upgrade these as well?

Any advice would be very helpful,

Cheers!
