jdjk7 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Long story short, I have an old UTG Type 96 that had a broken trigger assembly that got a lot of little bits lost. How would I best go about completely restoring the internals on this thing? Or, rephrased, what could I buy to completely cover my bases in terms of lost internal bits?

Spectra Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Someone more knowledgeable on these guns should probably chime in... But if you are just talking about completely restoring the trigger assembly I think you could just pick up a new one like this: http://www.evike.com/products/34004/ (pretty sure they have higher end, upgraded options as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering it. The main problem is that I don't know exactly what parts I'm missing... Essentially, I took it apart a few years ago to figure out what was wrong with it, had to leave, and by the time I remembered it, the area had been cleaned by someone who wasn't really paying attention to what they were throwing away.Thanks for the reply.

AceReaper Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Your best option for a trigger is to stimply buy a new one. If you have questions about that specific rifle though, i'm a pretty good resource. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdjk7 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Your best option for a trigger is to stimply buy a new one. If you have questions about that specific rifle though, i'm a pretty good resource.I took a look at the rifle (it had been sitting in a closet until after a few replies into this thread) and I am indeed missing the whole trigger assembly. Are these things relatively drop-in? I'm perfectly capable of doing the work, but if it's assumed that a trigger assembly is already there, there might be a necessary part that I don't have.Another question: How could I go about looking for internal upgrades that would work specifically for my rifle? I see a lot of acronyms thrown around that seem to indicate standardized systems (e.g. VSR-10, Tokyo Marui-type, APS2) but other than context, it's gibberish to me.Thank you for your offer of assistance. I look forward to your response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceReaper Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 You will need the wholw trigger assembly, it is very much a drop in assembly, but you will need 2 screws that will attach the trigger box to the rest of the upper receiver. With the UTG specifically, you definitely want aps2 or type 96 labeled parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AceReaper Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 More than likely they will be. If not, utg has decent customer service, i was able to get a stock bucking a while back before i switched hop units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent them an email asking what size screws they were, and the service rep told me he put some out for shipment in his response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
