ok

i've seen the e-bolt but it is too expensive for me.

JcKa, what did you mean by e-grip on newer 98c? and how do I know if mine is "newer" or "older"?

expand...

If your guns sear/trigger setup look like this, then it's an older 98c, and you can't get the E-Grip. However, if your sear/trigger setup's different than in that pic, than you can get the E-grip for your 98c. You can buy them at www.countysports.com, under Custom Pro accessories.

is there any way to "upgrade" the older 98c to accept the e trigger? i was wondering because i have an older 98c and i realy dont want to spent $200.......but i am willing to spend the $100 for an e trigger

Exactly what I said earlier, with a lot more explanation.


Gabby, Egrips/Etriggers can work on newer 98cs because of the way they're being milled, which is to fit these egrips/etriggers.  They've been milled that way for I think a year or two now.  Ebolts are a lil bit better, and they were made specifically for the 98c, and it features a 17 bps cap, and you can install a DM4 board I think.  But its discontinued and is very expensive.  They have 6 available at a-1paintballstore.com, and ebay has a bunch, but the best place to get 'em from what I hear are to find friends or whatever that bought them like a year or two ago, and then just buy their whole gun for like $100 bucks, because you're such a good friend ;).

yep

Mine is about a year old. I have no way of knowing what model mine is. I am however pretty sure now that mine is the older milling, so my dreams of an e-grip are pretty mush scrapped. I'll probably get an RT now if anything.
Thanks everyone though, for posting on this thread. I've learned alot more becuase of it. This helps me in more ways than one.

Snake6's suggestion that you obtain an E-Bolt is an excellent one. It is not just an upgrade, it changes the marker so much that it moves it into another dimension of Electro-Pneumatic operation. I have it in my 98C and would NEVER go back to a purely mechanical marker.

Now, as to what fits inside your 98C in the way of an electric trigger. The telltale point in whether you have to newer issue or not is the way the spring causes the sear to engage. The older 98C use a spring that pulls on the lower end of the seat causing the other end to raise up to engage the hammer notch. The newer design uses a spring that is located so that it pushes the sear up to engage the notch. The newer model incorporates a small perch on which this spring sits to do its pushing job. The old spring's bottom end anchors on a pin so it can pull on the lower end of the sear.

 

An ebolt replaces a bunch of parts with electronic ones(and i mean more than just the trigger) I don't like it for several reasons...(this does not mean it is bad for everyone. I'm just stating my reasons)

1) it converts your gun into an electronic gismo. Fine for some, but I want durability. ebolt just means more delicate parts to clean and care for.

2) the price

3) I have no need for the "faster" speed it offers over an e-grip. For one thing, I don't intend to go over 10 bps anyway. In woodsball, I don't need to compete with faster guns. I'd rather have accuracy than speed. Iam just getting full auto for the fun of it and the intimidation factor.

so no, i am not getting an ebolt. To each his own i guess.
