Is there an easily upgraded Spring Type 96 like this?

Well just a note that I'm pretty sure that the TM uses a VSR barrel stock, and further investigation shows that the AWS does not have a aftermarket hop up (at least from PDI). This means that You won't be able to make an ER hop because of the way the VSR hop ups are.

So an R-hop would be the best you could do. Honestly though use the hop up stock and see what it does for you after upgrading it to 500ish fps.

I was kind of thinking of just installing an R hop anyway(does the IR hop perform bad in warm weather?) as I have heard good things about it. Ill probably use it with the stock hop for a good while and see how it is though, since i wont be ordering the R hop from any of the sites i am getting other things from. So it uses a VSR barrel? if so thatll make one relatively easy to find.

No the IR will work just fine. I think it just has a higher cold resistance so it retains its properties in colder weather. They'll be equal in warm weather.

I personally used a standard r-hop in my m4 and I'm in Maryland. Although we have yet to dip below 65F since I installed it.

The last few winters here have been pretty cold, and it's a few extra dollars for solid year round use.

Yeah they've been really cold here as well. I will say whenever you start taking the l96 down be VERY mindful of the feeding plate. It's the only part that will break on you if you aren't careful.

There are replacements for it, but can be a pain in the butt to get so do it right the first time and make sure you don't break it. :p

Yeah it wouldn't be a particularly difficult part to make especially if you just made the ring separate from the plate and welded them together and cleaned it up after.

I can't think of an easy way to fixture it if you wanted to make it in a cnc though.

That is one of those things I like to figure out myself, but lets hope it doesnt get there(;
