Dude I am seeing guys with stock UTG L96 hit a chest at 150 feet consistently with the rifle STOCK, Just out of the box, remove the excess of grease getting good quality BB's cleaning the barrel and adjusting the barrel spacers. Just that, I am not talking about buying upgrade parts yet...

Also if I am buying a new cylinder, cylinder head, piston, spring guide, piston head, new hop-up and new barrel. Well I have changed everything, they are all new parts. So that I have a clone or not were is the tolerance problem? Everything has been changed save for the stock and the outer barrel.

I don't get it why I would need to pay 200-300$ more for a Maruzen that would be completely stripped too. As a matter of fact right now I know someone with a Maruzen L96 that shoots worst than a stock UTG L96 and there is some basic upgrades already in the Maruzen...

The only part (maybe I am wrong though) that I could think that could cause problem with the Clone over a Maruzen would be the Zero trigger upgrade...I could see a tolerance problem there with the barrel and bolt assembly.

Also another thing is, there is quite a world of difference having a sniper that hits a human size at 200 feet consistently and having another sniper rifle consistently shooting a head at 250-300 feet. You can really well snipe and have lots of fun in hitting a human size target at 200 feet without sinking 2000$!
The keyword is inconsistency there are those with clones that have no issue then there are those with issues till hell freezes over buying a quality BA such as Maruzen, CA etc have the advantage of being built right from the start as such they also have their flaws but not as much as a cloned product. personally I have seen clones of the Maruzen L96 imperfections side by side and when compared to a different gun but same make clone they are different, it's almost like as if each clone are made different. the point is buyer beware 90%of the tiem you buy clones they are bound to have issues, even first run productions from a reliable company have issues.
