I was under the impression you wanted to achieve 420-430 fps. The MS120 will get you there. If you want more fps, buy a slightly stronger spring.

I'm not sure I'm getting what the problem is? Not all springs are the same length, diameter, or made of the same wire. Every manufacturer's tolerances are different. If you're trying to find a spring the exact same length as your PDI, good luck. I've never had issues with Prometheus parts not fitting.

The cylinder I have is recommended for 200-400 mm barrel, not sure if 100 mm will lmake any difference...
I'd go with this, but that's just my opinion.

Unless you have some pretty high end machinery, I wouldn't try to enlarge the bushing holes yourself....get even one of them off-centre and you'll be buying a new mechbox, bushings, piston, and probably gears.

Personally, I would just buy a 8mm gearbox and Kanzen 8mm ceramic bearings, but since you're on a budget, get Kanzen 7mm ceramic bearings and you should be ok.
