well you could get a higher coil spring but that would require the replacement of you stock trigger assembly to a Zero Trigger kit. link: http://redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/ProductDetail?prodID=19558
Spring: http://redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/ProductDetail?prodID=23983

you would also increase the FPS by getting a tight bore barrel. and since you gun is shooting in the 450s stock you should be in the 480-500FPS range with a 500mm tightbore(you mm length might be larger i dont know the exact length i would ask ADMIN about that). you might also want to get a new hop-up bucking, dont worry their cheap so it wont be that much more but you will deffinately notice the difference.

bucking: http://redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/ProductDetail?prodID=21751

hope that helps

In my opinion, I would just get a tightbore barrel for your L96. I am sure it probably shoots close to 450 fps stock, so with a tightbore you may see about 470 fps or so.

Your other option is to spend a BUNCH of money to get it shooting higher fps and more range. While, I tend to spend a lot of money on all my replica's, not everyone is up to it...

You will notice an increase in just about every form of performance going to a good tightbore. It is probably your cheapest upgrade available.

Installing it probably wont be that difficult.

Of course, that is coming from somebody that has pulled barrels out of replica's about 50 times or so. Very Happy

Easy steps to take:
First find out how to disassemble the replica (maybe in manual... if not search the internet), then find out how to take the receiver off of the barrel, the barrel should be in view and you should be able to pull it out (may have to unscrew a few things first).
Since you will be putting everything back together anyways, I would recommend switching to a new hop up rubber to increase performance. I prefer Systema hop up buckings, but it differs between players.
When putting the hop up unit on the barrel, first put a little silicone oil on the hop up bucking so it slides in easier. Also, make sure you adjust the hop up unit so it looks as though it is doing its job correctly before putting the barrel in the replica. Other than that, putting it back together is like taking it apart but in reverse. Very Happy

If you have questions, let me know...
