the three basic upgrades to looks at are feedneck, trigger and barrel. after that maybe bolt and board, Marcus geezer's should tell you all you need to know.

p.s. how would new grips give a performance advantage? ;)

Read my tech stickie

Read my stickie and you will see what I have recomended as the essential ups for an ion... then it goes into seperate areas dependent upon your preferences regarding performance, accuracy, and bling.

Everyone has their own opinion. The difference is... mine is the correct one. :rolleyes:

Detents... stock Ion ones will wear out eventually... as they are one of the few consumable products on the marker. When you go to replace them put in some killa or whatever detents. These should not wear at all.

Basically detents ensure your pball doesnt roll down your barrel when one is placed in the breach. When they wear you will experience double balls, balls rolling out of your barrel, one ball smashing another that may have lodged in your barrel, etc etc. Bottom line. When you NEED to replace your detents... pick aftermarket ones.

Grips. When your between the ages of 13 and 16 grips make your ion fire faster, use less gas, be more accurate, and importantly make 13 to 16 year old girls more attractive to you.
