Hey, I have an l96 that I need a spring upgrade for. I already have a full metal trigger box because the plastic stock one broke, and I already have a metal spring guide and cylinder.

I cannot use evike for problems with payment, so I have to use airsoftgi.

The only two springs on airsoftgi I like are the laylax 150 spring and the laylax 190 spring. I really wanted the 170, but they don't have it.

I will be using .36g bbs.

I bought the utg upgrade kit to get the rod, guide, and a spring as well. But I don't think the spring is powerful enough to fire .36g bbs. I am out of town for 2 weeks and i ordered the upgrade set, and cannot test the power of the spring included in the set, but I know it does not give a significant boost.

So I am wondering, will the 150 spring work with .36g bbs where the stock spring cannot, and is the 150 spring the same power of spring usedin the utg upgrade kit. If the 150 spring is not a good option, I know the 190 spring will work perfect for .36g bbs, but I am worried that it might be a bit too high of fps.

Thank you for the long read, and I appreciate any help.

edit: I found a 170 spring on red wolf airsoft for a bit higher of a price. Still need help deciding

The 150 spring should give you around 460-500 fps (depending on other factors), which should be high enough to use .36's with. I would stay away from the 190 because unless you have upgraded the sears and not just the housing, the trigger would most likely break. Although the 150 spring would be strong enough, im not sure you absolutely need it. Form what i've heard, the utg kit comes with a spring that is actually very similar to an m170. Laylax is a good company that you will probably want to get in the end, but if an m170 is what you want, I wouldn't compromise for something you don't want (150 or 190).
You could also try looking on other websites such as airsoft atlanta, airsplat, or LA wings inc. if you take a look you might find what your looking for, for a more reasonable price than on red wolf.

Hope this helped

Yes i believe this kit will work for .36's nicely. The spring looks to be almost an m170 It's not the most high quality kit, so the spring will loose its power fairly quickly (within several thousand shots). Eventually you will need to get a better spring, but for now that kit should be adequate.
