For my winter sniper loadout, I've chosen an L96 as my rifle.

After looking at some L96 clones and the TM L96, I was still convinced that the VSR's are better, and I'm a lot more familiar with the VSR's.

So my question is, is there any L96 or variant stock that will fit on a VSR-10?

Thanks.

I would be willing to make the argument that an l96 rifle that takes PSS96 parts can perform the same as the VSR styled rifles.

I actually like the simple style of the l96 hop up, and after much work with both, I would say the l96 is easier to work with.

If you cannot find an l96 stock for the VSR rifles, I would suggest looking into some laylax cylinder parts, an HP hop up, an AEG barrel/bucking and you are good to go. Don't be afraid to upgrade an l96. I currently am running a VSR 10, and had an l96 for three years. Ever since I sold it, I have missed it. Both rifles, if worked on will perform great!

Yeah I've looked at the UTG's with PDI parts or Laylax parts. If there's not that much difference in performance I'll just get an L96 variant.

Is there a significance difference in performance when fully upgraded or not?

Thank you.

I never tried a SP150 in my l96, and instead stuck to a 375 fps spring, so cannot really say in terms of distance it could shoot accurately. My l96 shot solid out to 200 feet, but just didn't have the juice to go further (that is with HP hop up). With PDI, 225 feet easy, but I would say if I went the 500 fps route, I could easily hit 250 accurately.

As for the VSR, 250 feet with 500 fps spring, so its pushing the long shots with ease now.

Both can perform great, I would say with the proper upgrades and time spent you can get the same results, or close to it with either set up.

If you want an L96 receiver to fit into a VSR, or the other way around for that fact, you are going to have to do a ton of work.

I have put a Bar-10 into a L96 stock, as well as Vindi I believe.


But yes it can be done, but it takes some work.



And if you are talking about a maxed out L96 or a maxed out VSR, it is really a horse a piece. And this is especially true when you are talking about upgrading everything.

Ok thank you.

I'm just looking for a different stock for winter, something that's a lot nicer to hold in cold, numb hands!

I liked the APS-2 stock, but that rifle is discontinued so I'm looking at an L96.

Thanks, Woogie. I think I'll look in to putting a VSR in to an L96 stock. Any recommendations on to which stock to get?

Once again, thanks.

Last time I looked on ehobbyasia, they had some APS2's. Shipping would be pricey though.

 

[MiloXC3]

I might get the Well MB-05 and get APS-2 internals. Is it 100% APS-2 compatible?

 

[woogie]

Found these pics sitting on my computer....... a Bar10 in a UTG Mk96 body.

 

[MiloXC3]

Did it take a lot of work?

Great job by the way.

 

[wesley810]

That's pretty cool!

 

[woogie]

It did take quite a bit of planning to get everything to work. Just know that the mag well is going to need some work.

 

[MiloXC3]

Hmmm..

L96 stock modified for a VSR-10

or

Well MB-05 stock on an APS-2

I think what woogie did was cool, plus I don't like the MB-05 stocks. IMO you should do the first thing.

Why not just buy a Type 96 and get that shooting well? They can be made into good shooters just like the VSR-10.

 

[MiloXC3]

Wesley, I am also looking at the Type 96 rifles.

But, is the Well MB-05 stock 100% compatible with an APS-2? Because I really like that stock! Always loved pistol grips.

 

[wesley810]

I'm not sure, but it should be identically the same internally as the Type 96, so you could get it shooting nicely without very many expensive upgrades. Really just hop-up work and barrel.

 

[MiloXC3]

Thanks. I'll build a Type 96 clone.

Thanks for the help everyone, especially you Wesley.

Just for completeness of this post should anyone else like to look into doing what both Woogie and myself have already done, and to prove it has been done, I'll add pics of my build in mock up stage.....

Painted.....

Ragged.....

 

[MiloXC3]

Wow. Maybe someone should write a guide!

But then again, I guess lots of people would modify the stock to fit and I'm sure you want your to be unique.

 

[wesley810]

That's cool. I'm not really understanding the point of doing this unless you just really want an M700 style bolt handle, or you already have a fully upped VSR-10 and aren't looking to spend the cash to upgrade a second rifle. I mean, the Type 96 comes with a 90 degree trigger mech already that can be made strong for a cheap price, and everything else about the rifle is pretty decent once you change the hop-up.

Nice paintjob by the way; it really makes me want to get another airbrush just for the purpose of rifle paintjobs. I used to have one back when I was younger.
