Product Information:
This upgrade kit is very well constructed for the price. The fit and finish are very good. Compared to other upgrade parts available for the UTG MK96, I don't see the reason as to why not get this. This really defines the "economical sniper" and reaffirms why you bought the UTG in the first place. This is a relative bargain.


Pros:
Good quality build and materials.
Materials are aluminum piston and spring guide, with rubber gaskets and rubber piston head bumper.
Spring is steel, stiffer and longer than stock for more oomph.
Ball bearing stack for the spring guide adds a bit of preload too.
Paired with the ASGI 6.01 barrel, and you, my friend, have an awesome combo.

After installing this with the 6.01 ASGI barrel, I adjusted the hopup and can get one inch groups at 70 feet. Not exactly sub MOA, but for airsoft this is pretty darn good. It was like I rechambered this L96 for 6 mm Remington Magnum. LOL I'm using 0.28 G&G brown BBs by the way. They are precise and you cannot see them fly out of the barrel, even in good light, just too fast.

Power-wise, I don't have a chrono, but it can punch through an empty plastic 2-liter soda bottle on one side at 15 feet. So, it is gonna hurt like mad. I don't suggest engagement distances of less than 100 feet. 150 feet may be more like it. I also teflon taped the cylinder nozzle, just like any good airsoftsmith would.



Cons:
You may find this kit available for less dinero. But, ASGI has awesome service and support.
You will need to buy cylinder grease for this kit. The gasket should not be installed without lube. Fortunately, I had some cylinder grease from my M4 upgrade project a while back.
The unit will be harder to cock after the upgrade, but you knew that going into this.
Getting such high marks from reviewers like myself, I will probably see a lot more of these upgraded L96 rifles cross my path. Ouch!
