Product Information:
When I bought this 6.01 inner barrel I was excited to finally see that my UTG MK96 would have its last upgrade. Once I started installing the inner barrel I came across some problems with the stock hop-up. I noticed that the divot for the bucking in the hop-up was upside-down in comparison to the hole that allows the bucking to be adjusted to reach the BB. After deciding to just put the bucking in upside-down, I found that the other grooves in the barrel aren't in the right spot for the hop-up. The metal rings that are in the stock hop-up that clip onto the stock barrel to keep the hop-up from sliding around are in completely wrong spots. After toying around with how I'm going to get the hop-up in aside from the bucking, I just decided to stick the hop-up in without the metal ring. Now my hop-up isn't even secured properly onto the barrel. To keep the barrel from bending, and sliding I had created my own home-made spacers. By wrapping Permacel (electrical) tape multiple times around a section of the barrel 6 times helped both quite the barrel from firing, but also helps prevent the inner barrel from shifting out of the hop-up somewhat.
Now that I have the hop up on the inner barrel, and the spacers made, I found that the inner barrel is also too long! Now that the inner barrel is a tad bit long, I couldn't fit the metal screw cap on the tip of the barrel because the hole is too small, so I had to shave out the hole. Now the inner barrel sticks out a couple centimeters (cm).
I was going to resolve this buy purchasing the Guarder Maruzen Type 96 Threaded Adaptor. I was excited to buy this so I could also put on a silencer and add that stealthy look to my gun, but as I asked when they would get the threaded adapter in stock, the General Store Manager (Frank Chu) said it would be 2-3 weeks. It has now been 2 months past, and there hasn't been any change. I am still wondering if it will ever be in stock.
Performance wise, I think that the 6.01 really helps the shooting performance of your gun! I was able to reach further distances with my new upgrade, and It would shoot straighter for about 30 feet longer. There still is a little bit of inaccuracy with the BB curving away from the target with .25g BB's. I think that I may want .30g BB's. Otherwise, I think that the 6.01 dramatically increases the performance of this gun!
I don't use it with the UTG upgrade kit! I have found that when I include the upgrade kit, the BB fly's way more unpredictable, and curves way to much. Therefor it is somewhat useless having.

Pros:
•Further distance
•Higher Accuracy
•Shoots further without curving

Cons:
◘The stock hop-up doesn't fit well
•The bucking has to be installed upside-down
•The stock hop-up isn't secured right do to the incorrect divots
◘The barrel is a little long
•Makes you renovate the screw cap
