I have a UTG L96 that will not cock. Its like the piston wont catch on the piston sear in the trigger box. any help is greatly appreciated.

Make an intro post, and post pics of your trigger sear and piston end.

I figured it out. Apparently it is "slam firing" which means it would be a sear that I need.

Yup, I just had the same problem with mine. A sear is indeed what you need! Over time the top gets worn off and wont catch anymore. Its quite pesky.

So im back and a trigger sear is not the answer for me. i put in a new one i had laying around and it still slam fires. Its not the piston either as i put my stock piston back in and it still refuses to work. I have also heard it may be something with the cylinder? not sure how but anything is possible. Currently in my gun i have an angel custom piston stainless steel spring guide and prommy sp190 spring.

I'd check your trigger box and see if anything in there is broken as well as the piston. Running an sp190 is a really big spring and without the propper upgrades, a rifle can fail quickly and quite easily.
Like CheeseMan said, post pictures.

I was thinking about buying a v-trigger actually is this a good choice or not?

 

[hawthorne]

Both the v-trigger and zero trigger are generally accepted as the best trigger options out there, so yes, I'd say it's a good choice. But there are other upgrades you will probably need to look into as well if you want you rifle to be able to handle a sp190 spring.

Also, you should go make an intro post in the intro section, it's part of the forum rules.
