The difference in the spring guides is the length. An HD spring guide is longer than the VC.

I would go with specific TM L96 springs just to make sure that nothing is going to bind or cause problems.

As for the trigger mech, get some pics of it so we can take a look at the sear. You may have some wear on the sears that is causing the problem. Also look at the way the trigger is attached to the rifle. You may have a screw loose or missing, thus causing the problem.

Give me your addy and a few bucks and a manual is yours.

I still have the original manual from when I had mine, and it is still in the plastic! I can't remember who bought my L96, but I guess I forgot the owner manual.

Hit me up in PM and I can get it out to you if you want.
