Hi, this is my 98 custom that I have had for about 2 years. I just recently put on the Flatline barrel and  I love it. All comments are welcome.

Personally, others might think it plain and boring, but I have always loved the look of a 98c with just a flatline.

It reminds me of a sub-machine gun in some way.

A magazine expansion chamber would look cool

I'm thinking of putting a response trigger and electric hopper on it

And I just play with my friends so I don't really want to put like $500-$1000 into my gun. Including buying the gun I've spent like $250 on it

I'm really against r/t's. They eat up a ton of gas.

Personally, it would be better money wise to get a cyclone hopper. but they eat up gas also

Yea, I probably won't get one anyway.  I don't really play the heavy on the trigger game, plus just bought a flatline, cost $100 that came out of my paycheck, and i need to start saving up again for my car.

Yea, I was thinking about that alot.

Back to the second post on here, I was surprised when I looked up a magazine expansion chamber for my 98C that it was about $60. It could very well be that high as I have never looked at expansion chambers before, but is that a correct price? Heres where I saw the one for $60. I'll probably end up looking stupid thinking that is expensive, but I don't know, I've absolutely never looked at expansion chamber prices.

http://www.amazon.com/Tippmann-Tippman-Expansion-Chamber-Mag /dp/B000LSIABW

Plus I'm having trouble finding websites selling magazine EC's anyone have any websites?

Ok I found a website that sells just a plain mag that really serves no purpose but for looks. It's $35, heres the link

http://www.specialopspaintball.com/shop/product_detail.asp?S KU=211+0052&CAT=107202302404

If I decided to buy one or the other, Buy the cheaper just for looks or buy the more expensive and get looks plus an EC? I am on a budget. Which would you do?

Sorry for the long and many times edited post, didn't want to keep putting new posts up.

The expansion chamber would be the better buy. But don't buy a trinity mag ex chamber, they're ugly on 98's. I forgot what it is called, but there is a brand that fits over the foregrip. If you DO get an x chamber, you will need a forward feed thingie. If you don't know your way around your gun, you will need assistance putting it together

You need an expansion chamber, a vertical tank adapter and a new hose if you want it to not to be all bent.

Not bad. If you're going for the milsim look and are on a budget, just go with the mag. In the future you may decide to add a stock, which would require you to use a remote line, which does the same thing as an expansion chamber.

IMHO, the mag expansion chambers look like CRAP on 98 Customs. If you want my $0.02 I would suggest buying a cheap expansion chamber from www.iisports.com for a few dollars or ebay'ing one, then fitting it inside a magazine from Special Ops or using a airsoft or real magazine.
