Hi my name is Casey, I'm from the uk and have wanted to get into airsoft for quite some time now. I recently purchased a Double Eagle M57A l96A1 sniper rifle and am not sure where to go from here. (please excuse any clearly nooby questions ahead). Unfortunately as i have had little to no previous sniper experience I have no context as to how good this gun is. Also i have seen different websites selling the same exact design of gun, for example the Warrior V3 MB-01 L96 Airsoft Sniper Rifle seems to look exactly the same. Is there any difference in these guns as somebody recommended to me the warrior l96 at some point.
My main question at this point is how upgrade this gun as every i go on the interwebs i see "upgrade upgrade upgrade" everywhere. i am mostly wondering how compatible parts will be with my gun and then what i should consider buying in order to improve performance.

As i have essentially no idea what i'm doing through upgrading, some basic help and recommendations would be very much appreciated

Thanks
(also i have bought a £24 pound cheapish 3-9x32mm scope from smk recently, that i am hoping to replace with a leapers 3-9x50 scope in the future)

I suppose it must be a clone as they look identical (see attached photos), does that mean that any upgrades for the warrior will be compatible?

(just did a intro post, sorry!)

thanks, this is really helpful.
Was wondering if anyone could tell me the first upgrade i should get in the way of increasing accuracy (preferably not fps as there is a general 500 fps limit at many of the Uk airsoft ranges). I dont want to ask for a whole list of upgrades as i understand there are already alot of threads about that.

Can you recommend any specific barrel or hop up? Also what does the barrel spacer do/is it important to upgrade?

Cheers for all the amazing advice. I'm probably gonna start off with one of the new barrels you suggested and a barrel spacer. Last question, what scopes do you guys use on your guns? I bought quite a cheap 3-9x32mm scope that im hoping to replace soon.
