Before purchasing my Glock, I read carefully everything that was written here, but I still have questions, since I would like advices based on your real experiences with available materials to make the "ultimate" Glock.

So my base is the following:
- Tokyo Marui Glock 17
- complete guarder kit with aluminium slide, frame, 150% recoil spring, steel trigger lever, steel catch magazine, reinforced hammer spring.
- guarder metal night sights

I was very lucky since I didn't have to sand or modify anything to make it fit and work correctly, except the lever pushed by the magazine to lock the slide (it was taking place beside the button instead of pushing it, not a big deal at all). Maybe is this because of the 2013 version, that could have been enhanced by guarder to make it fit better. I was also lucky to find the kit since it is sold out almost everywhere (I ignore if this could due to the legal attacks from Glock against copy of their models).
It cycles perfectly, do not create any shooting issue, and I can shoot more or less two mags before it comes empty of gaz.

That's Great news!
Glad it worked out for you!

I don't really notice a whole lot of difference between the old Guarder frame and the new ones. The only thing noticeable was the fake body pin they added. That "NEW STRUCTURE" they put on the packaging, I find to be false. I don't really see any difference at all unless the frame itself was made of something else...

My interest with this Glock is:
- having the most possible "RS looking like", but it seems that I am on the good way.
- Improve precision and shooting distance, since I use it for target shooting only. I don't care about FPS until they bring a real + for target shooting.

First of all, a strange thing happens with the magazine which is stock, out of the box. On my USP KSC, there is no noise when I fill the gaz. On the Glock, I have a strong "pshiiit" all a long the operation, although the gaz bottle is in the correct position. Don't know if it is normal or not. The magazine fills correctly. Can you please tell me if there is some issue there?

Yes that's normal.
The fill valve on most Marui guns don't have a n extra o-ring like the KSC mags do.

For the rest, I would like to know if some other pieces could enhance distance and precision, without spending money for nothing in pieces that won't bring significant effects...
I was thinking mainly about:
- nozzle
- Aluminium BBU to reduce the weight of the slide
- precision barrel and hop-up rubber (is really the violet Nineball the must?)
- Somehting more important???

THe only thing on this list that will help you gain more distance is the bucking.

You don't HAVE to get the Nineball. There have been better ones that came out after I made this post.

Particularly, the A+ buckings with the hop assist. I hear they are pretty good. I don't normally use them, to be honest. I run the Airsoft Surgeon NON-HOP inner barrel and bucking combo nowadays. Just cause I never really use my hop up anymore since my targets are always pretty close.

Also, remember the weight of your ammunition affects distance. So you should look into that as well.

Accuracy is something that has a lot of variables associated with it.
Ambience plays a huge role. Without knowing where you're shooting, it's impossible to recommend a good set up specific to your battlegrounds.

But you will probably be able to help me with what is fully compatible and interesting all together, and what is to be avoided, useless, or should not be mixed.

I have to say that I am a little bit lost with all the opposite advices I read an all the brands available, always promising the moon.

I also think to go for an aluminium trigger, just for more realism...
On my side, I am about to realize some grouping tests on different distances with the gun correctly blocked on a table to avoid movements. But too much wind today to even think about it.

Than you in advance for your help!!!

Aluminum triggers are more novelty more than anything. As you said, they are more for preference more than anything.

The GunsModify trigger is an aluminum trigger with adjustable trigger pull lengths. The thing is, the grub screw for that adjustment tends to just unscrew unless it's loctited. Once loctited, it basically negates the idea of it being "adjustable" in the future. LOL.
