I was going to make my G4 a dual purpose gun by putting a mad bull M110 spring and CQB inner barrel in and I know I can do the barrel, the thing I'm not entirely comfortable doing is the spring.
First off I would like too know if this is even a good idea. And second i would like too know how much a spring change would cost.

I would assume that you want this to shoot under 350fps for the Airhouse? If so, Madbull m110s might shoot a bit hot for that. At any rate, I can do this spring change for $10, no problem. I personally use a g4 and have worked on it plenty Let me know when you want to meet up and get it taken care of.

the smaller diameter inner barrel the more air pressure behind the bb causing a greater FPS

He is correct that in a normal set up, adding a TBB can add up to 20 or so fps. However, the system you are running, I think you will be over voluming your barrel (cylinder has much more air volume than barrel. ) This is normally something that people correct to gain as much performance as possible out of their gun, but in this case it may help you as it will probably result in a lower than expected FPS.
And I would highly suggest Madbull Black Python barrels as opposed to the Bravo.

but I was reading reviews and people said the bravo steel barrels are slightly higher quality and i measured my guns outer barrel and it looked like the bravo steel would be a more precise fit.

Slightly higher quality than?
You are free to choose your own parts, no question about that. I simply recommend the Madbull as do many of my fellow techs.

they said higher quality than madbull barrels. I also read that sometimes they come bent. Here is the review I read www.airsoftgi.com/product_reviews.php?products_id=6526 By the way I thank you for your time and help. I'm sorry for asking a ton of questions and that my last one may have sounded a bit rude.

Yea, no problem for the words and advice.
Generally speaking, I trust reviews and the word of experienced techs and people on forums over retailer reviews. The guy that you linked to seems like he is more competent than most who post GI reviews, but generally I stay away.
The Bravo barrels are Steel which is nice because it is a heavier barrel which is less prone to shock being transferred through it. The Madbull are a lighter aluminum barrel which can suspect them to more shock, that is probably the only advantage the Bravo has. What matters more in choosing a barrel is the tolerance of the bore and its consistency. I have no personal experience with the Bravo barrels so I cannot speak for them. I have however used the Madbull v2 barrels heavily (have 3 sitting in my room waiting for guns), and I have also installed them in many peoples guns. Everyone who uses them loves them, so in this case I would say that it is simply the tried and true.
Feel free to get the Bravo as I am interested in their performance, and for some guns it is nice to have a really heavy, solid barrel.
It is possible that the negatives you are getting from the Madbull barrels are from the older v1 line. They were not so good, but Madbull really stepped it up with the v2.

ok thanks if possible i will try and go with the madbull python barrels which I now remember was going to be my first option as it was cheaper. Thanks again for all the help and input.
