Well L96

[KraGzz]

Hello,

I recently picked up the Well L96 as Torontoairsoft just started carrying it and thought i'd give sniping a try and buy a decent platform for upgrading. Now I assembled it and took it out back for a shotting test and was shocked as it shot about 7 metres. Now I know it will need upgrades but that is ridiculous can anyone help ?

Thanks !

Out of the box, mine shot a little under 200 feet. One thing you need to do is clean the inner barrel, mine was filthy from the factory. Cant think of anything else at the moment.

think it has anything to do with hop up ?

Is this a decent platform?
How easy are upgrades to get for the Well L96?
Quality close to TM products?

I ask because the Well brand seems to be a lot easier to get over the TM brand.

Well is not the best brand out there by far,but there are some worst ones.
The hopup was probably assembled crooked or wrong and the cylinder is probably dripping in grease and some of it went in the hopup and greased the rubber.
A good tune up and clean up would do good for it.
Youtube is you're friend,there are tons of videos for that gun.
The Well l96 is a 99% Maruzen clone.

If you're serious about making an airsoft sniping platform, no, the Well is not good. Tolerances are just too all over the place to make a good, consistent gun without A LOT of work. Some aftermarket parts won't even fit because the tolerances are so foobared.

As a fun sniping/plinking gun, or if you just want to screw around with a BAR at a game, it's fine.

Good to know... need to get out and get Age Verified so I can poke around some more.
