If your 98 is ACT, you can use the egrip. Didn't you decide on a Mini?
 
Save for a Phenom maybe. Your limited to CO2 in your area if I remember right.

Wow, yeah if youre limited to CO2, it cuts down the choices.
 
I may be stuck in that situation soon. Ive been looking at things like an Electra 09. Theyre cheap, so if CO2 decides to mess it up, I wont really worry about it.
 
Ive also been thinking about rigging up a cocker with a Palmers or something.

i didnt think it was able to use an egrip because the handle on my act doesnt come off though it is a solid peice an the gun splits down the center.

It's not like the A-5 egrip, the 98 one goes inside the 2 halves in the grip section.

You open up the two halves and put the egrip parts inside.

Sounds like you havent played with your marker yet, hence the questions of not knowing yourself what Upgrades is need for your marker.

That said, go play some games and then you'll know what you need with your $350.
Do not steal....the government hates competition!

At first, all you will need is a nice barrel. Go to pbreview.com as they have reviews on everything. Dont go buying anything bigger than a 14'' barrel. Most people will suggest a Lapco.
 
Secondly, if you feel the need to hose people with paint, invest in an RT or Egrip, with a new feeder such as a Halo or Cyclone.
 
And thats it!
