I'd have to agree, though my experience was with a Classic Army M14. The PDI hop up owns all once its set properly (I'm hitting out to damned near 300 feet at around 550 FPS; my KJW M700 isn't nearly as accurate at the same speeds, even though I've replaced the hop, the barrel, and fitted it with a regulated CO2 rig).
Though I'm not sure E1 even has a non-AEG sniper rifle.
Here we go...My current parts list for my UTG L96 (all I can say is be ready to tinker and play and think outside the box on some of this stuff):
UTG MK96 base
Stock Maruzen receiver
Stock Maruzen outer barrel
PDI hop up chamber
Guarder black hop bucking (cheap, yet extremely effective)
Deepfire 6.04mm 550mm barrel (soon to be replaced with a Madbull 509mm)
Custom hop up nub made from dremeled-down drill bit
FF Tri-Element Piston
Guarder precision piston head
Classic Army spring guide (I got rid of the spring guide rod and threw this in there because I needed a metal spring guide and I had this lying around)
PDI barrel spacers
scope rings salvaged from NcSTAR 4-9x50 scope
Tasco rimfire 4x32 scope
550 fps spring (neither I nor the guy I acquired it from know what the power of the spring is, or what brand it is, but we know that it'll put a rifle with a tightbore at around 550 with a 0.20g BB (our field's limit)).
UTG stock cylinder (I was building this rifle on the cheap at the time, and decided to use the stock cylinder until it broke and replace it then rather than spend money I didn't have at the time)
stock Maruzen cylinder head (I found out the hard way that the UTG one is too thick to use in the PDI chamber)
KA silencer adapter
This is the amalgamation of parts that I ended up with while trying to get parts on the cheap. The stock Maruzen parts and my PDI chamber I got from Sniper after he got rid of his Type 96. I suggest replacing the outer barrel and receiver (if at all, because the stock ones are actually really good) with PDI parts, and the cylinder head with Laylax/First Factory.
The spring I have is probably on par with (if it isn't actually) a Laylax 170 spring.
