I'm not too sure what you're trying to ask, but I'm going to make the assumption that since you're comparing 2 guns from different sites and most importantly different countries you're trying to ask which one is better.

To be perfectly honest, they're just about the same thing; clones of the Maruzen type 96. I know there are many companies out there that manufacture the same guns (Well, UTG, etc.) and most come with the same accessories too (bipod, sling, extra magazine, speed loader). I personally own both a Well L96 and a UTG 96 and can not tell the difference between the two. They both have the same weight and shooting range and chrono'd within 10 fps of each other (470 fps with .2g BB's).

So if you're deciding which one to get, the quality factor is already eliminated. Now it's the hard part; choosing whether to order from the states, and risk seizure at the border or to order from a Canadian retailer and assure the gun's arrival at your house. I personally ordered a UTG MK96 from the site www.opsgear.com since I used to paintball and have since ordered all my tactical gun parts from their site. They are reliable and decently priced and I've yet to have a problem with importing an airsoft gun from them. HOWEVER, I am not going to encourage you to order from an American retailer. As almost every other member of ASC said, the second the gun leaves their store and they have the money, they won't care the least bit what happens to your gun. I suggest you take these things into consideration before you purchase your airsoft gun.

Good luck, have fun and most importantly be safe.
