Is it worth paying a lot of extra money to get top-of-the-line parts such as: teflon coated cylinder, super hard pistons, etc. compared to getting a basic 200 dollar airsoft extreme upgrade kit?
What would the benefits be?

I installed the 200% spring upgrade kit from Airsoft Extreme when I first purchased my APS and I've been pleased with the result. I could have gone with an even weaker spring and I still would have been pleased. So far I have seen no need to get the reinforced bolt lever or upgrade to a Zero trigger. If you treat the APS carefully you shouldn't need to spend a lot in replacement parts.

What is the range possible with the 200% spring kit?
And that would be the kit for the aps2 which it states it will achieve 400 fps with the .29 grandmaster bbs correct? What is the approximate fps with .2's?
Can you easily pull back the bolt when lying in the prone position? Sorry about all the questions

Harris bipods require an installed adaptor.

Every gun setup is different, but the 200% spring should put you over 450fps with .20's which might equate to around 400fps with .29's. Every approximate .05 gram increase in weight seems to drop the fps about 30. <b>This is just a general observation and not a rule.</b>
Range should be at least 50 yards fairly accurately with consistent man-sized target hits out to 60 yards. Your accuracy and grouping are dependent upon the care you give your APS and the type of bb you use. I suggest that you spend a little money and get a few different weights of bb's. Since the hop-up is fixed you won't know if your getting th optimum range out of your APS unless you try different weights. Some guns like heavy, some like light. Don't take the hop-up apart and try to modify it, use the bb that it likes, not the one you like. Be careful when you're cleaning the barrel, you don't want to damage the hop-up. "Only mess with the fixed hop-up if you're prepared to replace it", that's my motto.
As far as bipods are concerned, most APS's I've seen with a bipod have used a common sling post attached to the underside of the stock. Its a simple matter of removing the stock; drilling a hole for the post; bolting the post on; then buying a bipod that will attach to the post.

Does the aps2 sv have a front sling swivel stud?

Yes, the stud is located on a vertical surface at the end of the foregrip. It is not in a location agreeable with any bipod or adaptor I've seen.

Crap, cause i have just seen one that says it will work with ANY rifle that has a sling swivel stud, but on the exact same model from another seller i noticed a difference, "will fit on any CONVENTIONAL stock with a front blah blah blah" guess im gunna drill into my gun  By the way, the adapter that fits onto the barrel is ONLY recommended for use on pistols, you were right, it might mess up the gun |
