Re: m4 range updrades ??
Best thing would be to get a good hop, other than get as close to 350fps as possible, there's nothing else I can think of.

The set up I've listed below is what I put into all of my M4s, it works perfectly for me although I know a lot of different people use different combinations:
-Madbull ultimate hop unit
-Madbull ultimate hop nub
-Guarder hop rubber (the clear version)
-Madbull tightbore (for best results with a madbull hop unit as they're made to compliment one another)
That's just personal though.
Many brands such as TM and firefly are also extremely good

It should work fine with a Prometheus in there, I've mixed and matched before.

Re: m4 range updrades ??
The Madbull unit will work fine with the Prometheus barrel as I've used that combo in an old L119A1 of mine.
The madbull tightbore doesn't come with the Madbull hop unit no.
I use a Systema Piston but that's more personal preference to be honest. I'm not the best with pistons, although I do quite like my Systema one.
Your best bet is to talk to people like Gaffa, Richardy etc if you want to go further inside the gearbox.

Re: m4 range updrades ??
Why the hell would he put a madbull barrel in when he already has a prommy?!
What exactly is wrong with his compression? Is it a hop thing or something to do with the piston/cylinder head? Could be an easy fix.
Can you give us more info on the gun. You've basically told us f*** all and expected us to be psychic tech gods who can solve problems without knowing what they are.

Re: m4 range updrades ??
To be honest if you don't want to change the hop, barrel or FPS, there isn't much you can do

I never suggested it? I merely stated what set up I used and that madbull tightbores generally compliment the madbull ultimate hop unit.
A Prometheus tightbore is a damn good barrel and works well with Madbull hop units.. I don't see where I ever implied for him to switch it out for a madbull one.

Re: m4 range updrades ??
no mate nothing is wrong i said i want to upgrade the range of it,
an good compression is what u need.,
i already have a prommy barrel in it and im not replacing it lol, and compression is ok if ur using a 336mm barrel. but wen u upgrade the length an tb of the barrel u need the compression to match it, so i need to no what would be the thing for that

Re: m4 range updrades ??
What's the make of the M4? The make could most likely determine what sort of upgrades would be preferable or recommended to be the most compatible.

Re: m4 range updrades ??
I don't really get what you mean by compression?
Doing anything to get more air to the BB will result in an increased FPS
