I would recommend a Maverick or Nite Finder as a good starting blaster to mod.

First of all, they are quite common in thrift stores and are very inexpensive if you happen to botch the mod. Second, they cover most of the basic mods you will be doing to any blaster. Third, they (especially the Nite Finder) are quite good when you mod them.

The Nite Finder in particular is extremely simple inside and you can easily remove the AR and put in a stringer spring.

The Maverick is also very easy to mod and has more mods that can be done to it, like the barrel drop, penny mod and AR removal.

Both of these blaster will preform well when modded, and are quite usable if you are looking for power. I have a Nite Finder with no AR and two springs that is capable of 100+ ft and a Maverick that hits about 80 ft with a barrel attachment on the front.

Other options could be a Longshot, or any vintage blaster you find that shoot Mega Darts. Vintage blasters can be rebarreled to fire Micro Darts and hit 100+ ft without any internal mods, especially air powered ones.
