98c upgrades

not shure if this is the right place but il wing it. ok i have a 98c that is bone stock except for a double trigger and a lazer dot sight. i have no clue what to do to it next. i play woodsball and speedball or whatever i can find. so basicly what im asking is what should i buy for my 98 to make it an overall balanced marker for whatever comes my way?

acuraccy and distance are number one and speed is second. i know i want to shoot faster but im not shure if i can put a RT or an ET on my 98. i got sometime this summer so it is the newer style.

ok but what about the ablility to put an ET or an RT on a 98c without act.

ok i figured that much. my question is can i put a RT or ET on my 98c without ACT. my gun is bone stock except for a double trigger and a lazer dot sight. i had to buy a normal 98 and not a 98 pro becouse of my lack of money.

ok that clears up allot. ok were can i find the serial number on it?? annyone have other ideas??

Personally, and this is just my 2 cents, I would purchase the RT and match it with an Empire Reloader 2 (you can find some great deals on eBay.)

I have upped my 98C (which I sold) and some friends' markers with the same mods and it has worked brilliantly.

For me accuracy is more important than distance.  I don't care for the practice of "long balling" other players.  I have a Flatline, but I use a J&J Ceramic barrel 99% of the time.  Having a barrel kit is a nice (but expensive) option because you have the ability to switch out the backs to match the bore size of your paint, but if you primarily use one or two brands of paint, I would recommend matching up a barrel to that paint's size.  The paint that I use, both FPO or BYOP, is primarily .688 or .689, so I use a standard J&J Ceramic barrel (.689 bore size.)

For price (about $30) to performance, J&J Peformance is the best way to go.  If you have a little extra money to spend, check out Palmers Brass, Lapco Big Shot, and Hammerhead.

kk im definatly buyin a new barrel and im thinking about gettin a rocket cock 2 for DOP. im gunna have to track down a RT for it. im always open to sugestions so anny other ideas are good.

Snake6 makes a good point.

I know that there is a team that uses Tippmanns for speedball, but other than that, I haven't seen too many players actually use 98Cs in a speedball tourney.  I would check with your local fields first to see if they allow the use of a RT (the fields I play at do) and if you want to play speedball tourneys with the 98C, maybe a E-Trigger would be a better option.
