    Posted: 02 October 2004 at 12:18pm

OK here is the deal. I mostly play on the weekends and i am looking to get a procarbine. Will i be diapointed in it, or should i go with the 98c. As for upgrades I really was only going to get a barrel, a regulator, and possibly a remote line. I was also wondering becaus ei saw it on another thred that a-5 threaded barrels can fit on the procarbine.

I would like your thoughts and your oppinions please. Some other things that could make my possible carbine unique. Thanks

Also Could you make recomendations for a barrel, reg, remoteline and a good co2 bottle size

The Pro/Carbine is a pretty Good gun for Casual play, Since your not going to go over board on upgrades I wouldn't think it would work great for you.

Yea the P/C uses A5 Threads BUT you cannot attach a Flatline to the P/C.

Yea there is a Thread in Upgrades & Customizing where You can put a Response Trigger systen in the Pro/Carbine.

The Pro/Carbine is an awsome gun and is contrary to belive well rounded for both speed ball and woods.  It is super durable and reliable and will never let you down.  I have owned both a 98c fully done up and a basic Carbine.  I recently sold the 98c as i found the Carbine to equal its performance with alot less $$$.  The Pro/carbine just seems to be built with better quality and is just an outstanding performer. 

As seen in my sig mine is not all that upgraded just a simple J&J Ceramic 14", a drop forward, lightened trigger pull, and a scope i use for woods (not for sighting but rather used more like benoculars i aim down the side of the gun and shoot by were the first ball flys).  Later i plan to get a 12v revy and a SMALL 48ci 3000psi nitro tank and it will be DONE.

I have never met anybody with a Pro/Carbine that was not satisfied with there guns.  I highly dout youll be disapointed good luck and have fun.

-Good barrel The J&J Ceramic 14" has been awsome for me so far.
-Good sized tank 16oz or 20oz get it with a ON/OFF you wont regret it   saves MANY orings.
- Reg id rather just get HPA (Nitro) tank as it will get you the same   results with out needing the vertical adapter to put a Reg on your gun but if you are set on a reg the Palmers Stabilzers one of the best.

Well if you like them a mid sized Drop forward baleces the marker out great i got a Shocktech Stubby on mine.  I also like haveing the scop on the gun as it helps me identify friend or enemy from a distance.  Idont use it for aiming though i gues its like carrying benoculers but i mounted it to the gun so it one less thing to carry.  I had to mill the rear sight thing to mount the scope though.

Also i HIGHLY recommend getting a lighter trigger spring you can find something to wrok at any hardware store.  The one i used came from a Passenger Door handel on a School bus (I a mechanic for a school bus company) LOLOLOLOL but it works great.

Id just buy it pure stock and play in a few Games then Think about what you really need and what you really dont need. Some times Hype can  over-whelm you and you will buy a product and find out it doesn't do anything.  (LPK for instance)
