Upgrading utg l96, suggestions needed

2514 Views 15 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  teheelmao1
First off if anyone can tell me how to completely delete my thread in longrange aeg's that'd be nice, since plans have changed and I won't be getting an a&k sr25 :'( instead I'll be keeping my g98 (asgi's upgraded l96). I'm already getting a metal trigger box, and it has a tightbore, and sears upgraded, I was hoping to find a good price on the pdi hop up chamber if anyone can point me in a right direction for that, and what nub and bucking should I use with that for best results, also any other upgrade suggestions would be cool, like a good piston for under $50, it has the utg l96 upgrade kit in it, so if that will be fine just let me know.

Well here is what I have done a few times........


PDI Plastonite Vacuum cylinder set
PDI hop chamber
PDI inner barrel
PDI fluted outer barrel
Laylax Zero trigger

OR

PDI plastonite Vacuum cylinder set
PDI hop chamber
Laylax Zero trigger
Madbull inner barrel ( 6.03mm x 303mm)
Cut down the outer barrel


This is what I have done a few times

Either way if you want a good rifle for quite some time, go with PDI

Why do I need a pdi inner barrel? The pdi hop up takes normal aeg barrel so I was probably going to just get a madbull 509mm or somthing

A large portion of you accuracy is based on the quality and consistency of your barrel, something a madbull is not.
The madbull v2s are not at all bad barrels, though. Both of Woogie's suggestions are great, and will leave you with a great platform to start tuning from. My personal builds are less all-inclusive, but woogie's will do you just fine. However, I have seen some tests done where the vaccum piston lost some compression, so you might want to use the HD set instead.
I loved them

Though if you really need, you can go with the HD piston, and not have to worry about it.

And like cheese said, the V2 barrels of the Madbull are great barrels. Just make sure that you get the second version and you will be good to go.



What is your over all build specs going to be? You looking for a quiet, high fps, AEG fps so you don't need an MED? More info and we can help you out better.

Why would you want to delete information in a thread? The whole reason we have forums is to store info that can help other people out in the present and future. Deleting it will do no one any good and just wasted people's time.

DO NOT DELETE YOUR POSTS.
Ok, I won't delete it, wat bucking and nub should i get for the pdi hop up?
Will it hande the high fps (550) is wat its shooting right now, also anyone know how to get the orange tip off?
Yes, the PDI hop will withstand over 800 fps...That setup will handle up to about 650 pretty well. The lower the better - the ideal is about 490-500.
Im running .4s so its only 420ish fps on those, and should i go for 6.03 or 6.01 madbull, because I don't really want the pdi inner barrel.
It is a matter of airseal. You are running at about 550 with a .2, which is a lot of possibility for blow-by with a loose bucking. The guarder clear is a good hop up rubber, but the seal leaves something to be desired.

6.03 V2 madbull, but make sure it is the V2. The V1s are not nearly as good.

I would actually recommend a 6.03 Prometheus barrel if you want one that is not as expensive as PDI and is still steel. The crowning on those barrels I have found to be excellent, by the way.
Ok, can you give me a link to a desirable length prometheus one, so I can throw it on the christmas list.
How are the pdi raven 6.01 inner barrels?
