I'm lookig into getting a new sniper rifle and found a WellFire G96 Custom AWP http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/WellFire_G96_Full_Metal_AWP_Type_96_Sniper_Rifle_p/mb08d.htm?CartID=1 I was just curious if anyone has ever handled one or owns one and could give me a little input on how it is?

I've never owned one, but well are known to build pretty good quality replicas. If you're going to use it in skirms, I would recommend you to run an external HPA/Co2 rig so that your shot's would be somewhat consistent.

Personally, i'd avoid it. There is very minimal aftermarket parts. Now, i'm going to ask you a question, do you plan on upgrading? I believe this rifle is gas, and the only really upgradable gas rifle is the Tanaka. If I were you, i'd look into a BAR-10, or a MK96.

The KJW M700P is also upgradeable, and it accepts VSR buckings and barrels stock.

Actually guys this gun is spring powered though i dont know what parts this gun uses you can never tell with some companies.

Nope, sorry. The G96 is a gas powered rifle, cloned off the Ares/G&G L96A1s

The link confuses me. It says that the rifle is spring powered, but I've never seen this rifle not in gas form.

I'm guessing it's compatible with the Maruzen MK96 upgrades but I'm not sure.

If it is gas, then it is an Ares clone. Only upgrades would be HPA, tightbore, and bucking. Also, any Ares replacement parts would work.

Weird, this is a Well Warrior L96, which is actually spring powered, but the name is the Well G96, which is gas powered.

Anyway, since it is spring powered (I stand corrected) it is compatible with Mk96 upgrade parts.

It's an Mb08, here's a good review of it:

So as you see in the video, you can get it for 160$ instead of 220$

Yeah, there's so many "MK96" upgrade threads on here that it's not even funny. I always tell people to just look at the stickies in the Maruzen section. You will find everything you need there. This rifle can be great in its stock form with DIY mods.
