The Warrior I: L96 by Well. Not stock paint.

This tutorial explains how to disassemble your Well made Warrior I: L96 airsoft rifle which is a direct clone of the Maruzen Type 96 rifle (this tutorial should work for it as well).

The BE-Tech version of this rifle is slightly different and I believe that the BE version does not have a serviceable cylinder like the Well (don't quote me on that).

If you received your Warrior I new then you should be able to do this on your own because you had to put it together in the first place. Either way here we go.

Flip your rifle over. There are two allen headed bolts in the stock. One just behind the trigger and one just behind the mag well. You should of received the correct allen wrench with the rifle. Unscrew those bolts (they will not come out of the stock, they are molded in).

Now that you have the bolts unscrewed. Flip your rifle back over (right-side up) and pull the barrel assembly up and out of the stock. You can now place the stock out of the way, you won't need it until you put the rifle back together.

Next we need to take the trigger mech off. There is a screw on the front and the back side of the trigger mechanism that needs to be pulled out. Then pull up on the trigger lock (might take some force) which comes all the way out. After those are released the trigger mechanism will simply lift out and your bolt is now free. Remove the bolt and set it aside, we will dive into it later. View pictures below.

Remove Screws, Pull up on Trigger Lock (it will come completely out.

Pull the bolt out and set it aside.

Now that the bolt is removed we can dismantle the barrel further. Find the mag lock mechanism and remove the sing screw that holds it to the barrel (the mag lock mech also keeps the inner barrel straight up and down within the outer barrel).

Remove mag lock screw, then remove mag lock.

The inner barrel is now free floating. Grip with one hand the outer barrel and with the other hand the upper receiver. You can now unscrew the barrel from the upper receiver. These are very fine threads and there are allot of them, it will take a little bit of time to unscrew it fully.

NOTE: it would help to put some silicon on the threads when you screw the outer barrel back into the upper receiver. You will also notice that when you put the rifle back together you do not screw the outer barrel into the upper receiver until it stops, you must line it up straight with the upper which is just shy of fully tightened.

Unscrew the Outer Barrel from the Upper Receiver. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO loosen the allen nut that is displayed here with the allen wrench in it.

Now that the Outer Barrel is separated from the Upper Receiver you can get the inner barrel out. If you have not taken the orange tip of your rifle off you need to now. It just pops off. Then you need to unscrew the cap that was under the orange tip. Just grip it hard, it will let go. Remove that cap and use something like a long screwdriver to push the inner barrel out from the back (pushing on the hopup assembly. Remove the inner barrel completely.

Remove barrel cap by unscrewing it from the outer barrel.

Push and Pull the inner barrel out of the outer barrel.

Your inner barrel and hopup is now out of your rifle. Not that this is a standard 500mm barrel so you could get a tight bore if you choose to do so and put it in with no problem.

Taking apart the cylinder was very easy. Retrieve the bolt that we set aside earlier. If you look at the nozzle there are two holes in it, one on each side of the nozzle tip. You can stick two allen wrenches into these holes (use allen wrenches that fit snug) and by putting a screwdriver between them you can create a point of leverage to start the unscrewing of the nozzle from the cylinder. It is easier if someone holds the cylinder while the other person unscrews the cap.

WARNING: My spring was under only a very small amount of tension and did not shoot off when the nozzle came free. However this does not mean that yours is not. Keep your eyes away from the nozzle, best to wear safety glasses incase anything shoots off.

Unscrew the nozzle.

Once you remove the nozzle the internal workings of the cylinder are now free to slide out. Below is a picture of the internals laid out in order.

From top to bottom: Bolt, spring, piston, nozzle.

Putting it back together is done by following the steps above in reverse. That simple.
