Bring it to spazz ask him. Nuf said. Lol. but, you need to describe what you want. You told me you wanted more range so.. i told the stuff i knew. So tell people  what you want out of it.

www.google.com

That's the most useful site you will ever find.  Ever.

So us new guys have a funny relationship with the Google machine. The OP seems smart enough to know that:
1. Just because you find it in Google doesn't mean it's true.
2. He may not know all of what's possible to do to an AEG.

I played my first game in November. And I'm only starting to get a handle on what's bogus, what's overblown, what's legit. "Google it" doesn't help much when you don't even know what to ask.

Dog, for your AK ... a tight-bore barrel, a good battery and a few quality mid-cap mags are a great start. Your groups will be tighter, your ROF will increase and your gun will feed reliably. I know this because I was there a few months ago with my AK. Externals? Don't worry about 'em. Can't say I'm familiar with the Cybertech brand. But I think these three upgrades/accessories are pretty solid for any decent brand of AEG.

Actually Google it does help.  First off, you would find the internet says the Cybertech brand doesn't exist.  So step one would be to find out what kind of gun you actually have.  Secondly once you find out what you actually have, you can Google "Brand X AK upgrades" and it will give you all sorts of vague answers which is what you get when you ask a vague question.  Take your car to the mechanic and tell him you want to "upgrade it" and see what he says.  You are going to need some idea of what you are looking before somebody can help you find it.  God helps those who helps themselves, and so does the internet.

A tightbore is a decent recommendation in most cases, although at this point for all we know the gun in question is an MPEG that won't take standard AEG parts.  Recommending a new battery doesn't help without giving specific parameters which we can't give since we don't know what he has.  While more mags is always good, I wouldn't consider that an "upgrade".  If his "Cybertech" is actually a Cybergun, that's only somewhat helpful as Cybergun brands AK's from multiple manufacturers which have different compatibility issues.

Lastly, generally you upgrade when you want to accomplish a goal.  I want a turbo for my IS300 because I want 400hp.  OP has made zero mention of what he's trying to accomplish.

Alright. He has a cybergun ak beta, but i think they label it cybertech prolly.. but he wants more range.  And he just want overall good easy and quick sites to search threw. So he can learn the overall process

A good catch. My eyes immediately read "Cybergun."

God helps those who helps themselves, and so does the internet.

This site is on the Internet. ;) So I'm trying to help our OP out a bit without sending him all alone into the wilderness of contradiction, hearsay, heresy and horseshit. I did a lot more Googling about this stuff in the last few months than I care to admit. But one conversation with a guy like Slinky, Spazz, Spartan or even that ignorant savage Pride educates me far better than hours on Google.

Recommending a new battery doesn't help without giving specific parameters which we can't give since we don't know what he has. 

If you run down to a place like Gearbox, they're always gonna sell you a battery that's better than stock. But I could've been more specific about what the milliamps and voltage ultimately mean.

While more mags is always good, I wouldn't consider that an "upgrade".

Heh. My Dogs of War mid-caps are a huge upgrade in the field from the stock hi-cap. Bad mags make for a crappy playing experience. Good ones make for a lot more fun. Whether we agree that it's an "upgrade" is semantics.

Lastly, generally you upgrade when you want to accomplish a goal.  I want a turbo for my IS300 because I want 400hp.  OP has made zero mention of what he's trying to accomplish.

This is an important point. Why does anybody upgrade anything? To make it better. When you're new, you don't really know how much better other people's guns can be - what makes them better - what's even possible to do to your gun. Maybe the best bit of advice for our new guy is "go out and play, and see how you're getting killed. Talk to the people who shoot your ass off. Find out what they did." Some of that will come down to the gun - the rest will be down to moving smarter and faster. Using cover more effectively. Flanking, flanking and more flanking.

I do think a lot of players - especially new ones - have so much fun comparing gear that they forget that it all starts with the game.

So, we'd probably all agree on this: Play first. Upgrade later. So there, Dog ... get out to the field. Meet people. Shoot them. Get shot by them. Repeat. Then worry about that Cybergonad or whatever it is! Sounds like you're already working on that if you talked to Bambi, so good on ya.

I wasn't just referring to the specs of the battery, we don't know for sure if he needs a stick or large battery.

I'm not trying to discourage you (or anyone else) from helping out new people.  However, said new people need to take it upon themselves to educate themselves a bit first.  You can find upgrade guides on pretty much every major airsoft forum (and places like wikihow) that will answer the generic questions.  If you want specific answers, you need to give us specific questions.

I don't give people crap for having questions.  I give people crap for not taking ANY initiative to educate themselves first.  The internet is a big place.  You would be pretty hard pressed to find a question that HASN'T been asked on the internet before.

Thank you to all who have replied. First off i am a new but non-new player. I play regularly but i am just getting into the "upgrade/spec/mods" to guns. It is a cybertech/cybergun ak(have seen both names). I dont have a team but i try play with saguaro because I am very good friends with bambi. I am first off looking for good mags at a cheap price $20 is good. I also would like a longer barrel and an m4 stle rail system. Then i would like to upgrade internals, new spring or anything that would increase range, my fp is pretty good. And i should have been more specific i was looking for a site that deals with ak mods, yes goodle helps but specific sites are what i am looking for. Again thanks to those who replied or are reading this and will reply
