Scopes are only good for looks. Youll have some trouble mounting one. Should have gotten a Tac-One...

The possibilities seem good for body mods since it's so small. When I get mine I'm going to butcher my 98 and stick the Ion inside it.

I was about to say that. Since it's plastic, and cheap to get new ones, you shouldn't be afraid to drill into it if you need to, I'm sure you can find something out, you might just end up bolting everything on, and it might work. |

You can get a tactical green body kit and use ducttape to mount a stock. Or you coud make or maybe buy a HPA butt plate stock. Try a pen cylinder (the plastic over the ink tube) and some sharpie colored fishn line mounted on the Ions side with camo ductape. This really works but it was hard to lign up.

Keep in mind that the Ion is centerfeed. If you want a working sight, it'll have to be offset.
If you're going to play woodsball, I don't reccommend the Ion. It's a speedball marker. You can get much more 'tactical' markers for the same price or cheaper. An Ariakon SIM-15 is a good compromise between performance and price, and is veryr eliable, plus you have tons of upgrade options if you want to upgrade it to weaver rail handguards, get a longer M16 style barrel, mount sights, scopes, laser, flashlights, grips, etc over time as you get the money. If you want a speedball marker that you can make into a good woodsball/scenario marker, a tac-one is the way to go. There are all kinds of neat upgrades available for it. |
