If you have it shooting in the 390 to 400 range, then you may think about upgrading your hop up system. If you want "accuracy" (i use that term loosely as this IS airsoft, after all) then you may think about changing your barrel to a longer one and be more of an M16.

Longer barrel will not improve it by that much, you'll want a tight bore along with some high grade bb's like KSC.

a simple upgrade that will give you a few extra fps and accuracy is a tight bore. A longer barrel, and an upgraded hop up.
The most effective upgrades will be the tight bore and the hop up, in that order. If you decide to to do the barrel or the hop up, you are better off doing both at the same time. This will save on labor time (and costs if you are having someone else do the upgrade).

I have a new version KWA, the hop up in the KWA is a very good one. You shouldn't need to replace the hop up, the only thing I would recommend to increase your accuracy is a tightbore. I went with a 6.01, but you really need to make sure you use quality BB's and keep your barrel clean. I also noted when changing barrel's was that the stock barrel was alot heavier then the one I replaced it with.

my suggestion would be to use a 6.03 barrel and call it good.... maybe get an extra bucking incase ya tear one installing the barrel...

another way to increase accuracy is increasing the length of the inner barrel. The way to do that is for you to get a longer inner barrel and put a suppressor (silencer) on the end of the outer barrel and then have the inner barrel going the extra distance to the end of the suppressor (silencer). To cut off the extra barrel is a pipe cutting tool, not very expensive and available at any hardware store.
