    Posted: 20 April 2006 at 3:50pm

I am/was a Model 98 owner. I converted it to my sniper gun when I bought my A-5. My goal is to get upgrades that matter. This gun is under construction. I've got an Empire barrel system coming soon to add to it. This is it so far. By the way, that barrel is the stock barrel cut down. You wouldn't believe how accurate it is. It's just about as accurate as my 14" Teardrop, but it's really loud. That's actually fun during an ambush! Let me know your thoughts on practical upgrades vs. cosmetic...


Specs:
Egrip
Rufus Dawg bolt
Tippmann Expansion
Opsgear Raider folding stock (The best stock in the world for an A-5 - I might add - best money I ever spent)
Stock barrel (cut down to 3")
Teardrop barrel
Weaver rail
Red Dot
Remote
Coming soon: Empire barrel system

I'd rather be playing paintball than sitting here talking about it.

not bad, but i'm not a fan of the stock or the sight rail.

Lose the front grip if you keep the ex-chamber, it'll look much cleaner and is more comfortable in my oppinion.

Would you move it forward or keep it where it is?

I have an E-grip on it. Really, with a double trigger, the egrip rocks even in semi-fire. I was really impressed.

I know what you're saying. It gets cold with a high rate of fire.

Switch to HPA If you dont want to get a board upgrade at least get a QEV then you can max the ROF on the stock chip

Not to shabby. The barrel kit will help matters.
