Very nice looking L96! I just got mine a few days ago and I just love it! Just waiting to put in my PDi hop-up with tightbore to see how she performs after that, I'll letcha guys know.

Is the trigger box housing the sears plastic? Looks like it in your pics.

Apparently it is plastic on this model, but quite durable. From what I've read around on the 'net there a very few reported incidences of breaking. It's 100% compatible with the metal trigger boxes you can get for Maruzen APS Type 96 rifles though.
