I have an invert mini already with a nightstick barrel but I was wondering if anyone has any advice on what are the best upgrades/attatchments to get to improve a minis performance. Thanks
Help with upgrading

No but in the thread newbies it linked me to here to talk about stuff with guns, what is an ASA though, but okay fair enough thanks 
the part the tank screws in to is quite tough, so you could get the on/off asa from empire for it to make it easier. personally i think the trigger is a bit sloppy and i'd maybe upgrade that but as Kevin said, if it's not bothering you then it doesn't need upgraded.
The ASA or Air Source Adapter is the part you screw your air tank into.
The company that make the Invert Mini or Empire Mini as it now known as are called KEE Action Sports, they also make a marker similar to the Mini called the Empire Axe.
The ASA on an Axe is similar to the Mini, doubling as the marker's operating pressure regulator. But it has a built in on/off lever which allows you to purge the excess air in the marker, making it easier to remove the bottle when you're done playing.
It makes a nice upgrade to the Mini, it's called the Empire Relay On/Off ASA. Look it up on the traders above the thread content, Just Paintball, LiPS and so on will usually have them in stock.
The saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" while true, there are certain things you can do to improve the performance.
Lightweight bolts for example, enable you to lower the operating pressure of the Mini. On my Axe, the Lurker Eigenbolt I have lets me tweak the operating pressure down from 200psi to 130psi. It means a quiet and efficient gat with little to no kick. It's awesome
Have a google on it, read up what various people have done. Weigh up the pros and cons and if its what you feel like doing, why not go for it ?

Okay thanks, what about going to a shop with you gun and trying it up or would it be better to play with one on and get a feel of it?
Maybe both, if someone will be happy to let you take their bottle out for 10 minutes or so, or just even to let off a pod or two outside the staging with it on your gat.
A trader wouldn't let you take it out on field for obvious reasons, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you took your marker to the stand to try a couple of tanks on for size.
Just be sure to remove your loader, and have a barrel sock in place wether the bottle has air in it or not and I would advise you ask them to attach the bottle to your ASA for you. If you cross the threads on the bottle, you've bought it...
Most important piece of advice I can give you for when you find a bottle you like. Get yourself a decent cover, a thread protector (CP metal ones are good) and a fill nipple protector (either CP or Ninja magnetic)
