My cousin just bought a ion and he is selling me his 98c for $70. So I'm going to buy this instead of buying my custom pro e. I want a real small barrel. What type of barrles will be good? And what do I need to make it good for speedball?

how small are you looking to go? most people say 10''-14'' is a good range.
that being said, now you have a choice between a bunch of names. i'm biased towards J&J Ceramic, but from what i've heard, the Lapco Bigshot is another good bang-for-your-buck. try asking around, or doing a search on this site---you'll find all the information you need.

it could be u mayt not get as much accuracy with a small barrel than u would with a longer one. if u r gunna teurn the 98c into a speedball gun, get the ebolt, if u dont want to pay that much i think that u should look into an ion or promaster or guns in that price range. the 98cc imo is not a godd gun for speedball for woods ball its awesome but for speedball its to slow and inaccurate.

yes, the pro-e will be better suited for speedball than the regular 98 custom. Both are great for the woods though.  The price is around $230. you may have to save up a little more, but it will be worth it. The old 98 custom will not accept the new e-trigger, which is a problem if you are interested in speedball.
