Anything in particular I should care about? I also do not know if they come with metal bushings, or what size. Additionally, it only shoots on full auto. I bought it used, and that's what it came like.

Prometheus tightbores are supposed to be the best barrels, and JG Blue and Red motors have great torque. As far as hop up, you could always do an R-Hop mod.

-Prometheus/Madbull barrel, really the only 2 options I ever consider. -Unless your piston head is cracked, you don't need to upgrade/replace it. If you do, SHS is probably your best bet. Or one of the JG cream-colored ones. -Hop-up stuff is pretty general... R-hop with the best bucking for airseal is your best bet. If you don't feel confident installing an R-Hop, a Prometheus soft-type is a good choice. -JG Blue, JG Red, or any other neo-magnet high torque motor. No reason to go with anything else.

Anything on budget wise? Although I got this gun cheap, I'm on a semi-low budget.

Anything on budget wise? Although I got this gun cheap, I'm on a semi-low budget. A Madbull barrel is probably the cheapest one worth buying ($35). You should be able to find a JG piston head for $10 if you really need one. An R-hop will cost you $12 shipped for a pack of 3 and will be the best hop-up mod you can do. JG motors can be found for around $30. That brings your total to around $90 which is really as good as you can hope to do for those parts.

I'm just going to break it to you, CA sportlines aren't very good. Some of the parts technically work OK, but aren't made to good spec. With some work, they can be just as good as anything else. I had a CA P90 sportline that had a reputation at the old Phoenix field. Internally it is roughly the same as the M15. I won't go into any externals because they work and it's up to you to change those as you see fit.
Gearbox:
Shell - Not the strongest one ever, but will hold 350 fps alright. Bushings- Plastic, replace them with metal ones. Should be 6mm. Piston - EXTREMELY weak. It's made out of a brittle plastic. Upgrade this ASAP. Piston head - Made out of the same material as the piston, replace it when you replace the piston. Not worth the potential compression leak. Cylinder - Blue, it's actually quite good. It's anodized and creates a good seal. I kept mine and got excellent compression. Replace it if you want. Cylinder head - Again, brittle plastic with a brass insert. Replace it with a solid metal one for the best compression. Nozzle - Again pretty bad. Replace it with a Modify O-ring type. Tappet plate - It's OK, I never broke mine. Spring guide - Plastic, replace with metal bearing. Gears - The bevel and spur gear are OK, but the sector is made out of super soft metal that will wear down. You can replace the whole set or just the sector gear. Motor - Not the worst ever, but far from the best. If you install an upgraded motor you WILL shread the stock piston, I promise.
Hop up:
Barrel - Same anodized aluminum like the cylinder. It's a 6.08 or 6.10 depending on the year it was made. It's pretty much junk. Bucking - I would just swap it out. Nub - Should work OK. Chamber - Should be OK, the one in my P90 was amazing with a prommy barrel, systema bucking and a SCS nub.
Or, you could sell it and start with a better base. If you want to upgrade it Modify parts worked well in my P90.

Eh. What do you think I could get for a used/other player bought? Mainly just for barrel, hop up, and motor.
It's either mod it up, for as sir above me said, sell it and get a better base weapon.

You could sell it, and based on what you paid for it you can easily turn a profit (but not a big one).
Another option would be to buy a drop in box, or find a better used one. The body should accept most V2 gear boxes. Due to variations of all manufacturers it's impossible to say what brands would just drop in. If you want to keep the build cheap a JG/Dboys/A&K box would give you a good start after you re shim, re lube, correct the AOE, and drop the spring rate. The problem with this route is that if the box isn't a perfect fit you could have nozzle/hop up compression problems, fitment issues, or feeding problems.
Personally, I would sell it and buy a better base. Less hassle. Buying used is great if you can do internal work. Let the previous owner take the depreciation hit.

Completely Stock (I plan on removing that M120 spring) And in a fairly good condition. Obviously a little wear, but that's it. Bobbunny, please don't repurpose threads like this.

Can't exactly spare a couple more warnings can I? XD

Madbull 6.03mm AOE Reshimmed 9.6v Systema Energy? You are simply listing things/upgrades, please post in coherent sentences in which you explain why he should use such upgrades and back it up with some credible sources.

Team UAD,
We've always prided ourselves on being a well spoken, well informed community. Part of that, as Miles mentioned, means not just listing parts in an upgrade thread, but explaining, what they'll do for the user and why those over a competing brand/part/product. If you can't back your recommendations up with the necessary explanation of why you're suggesting them, then your recommendations are worthless.
