Need Advice for 98

I wanna gt started in paintball(woodsball) and I have been browsing through markers.

I decided I wanted a 98 Custom Platinum, and then over the months customize it as a M4(kinda like this one http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=172 619&PN=8 )

Problems is I can't find a 98C Platinum here in Canada so i would have to order it from the US. Oh, and could you guys give me some online store links with what I need, and a little advice on internals and externals if I should get them.

May I make the suggestion of getting a Alpha instead. I have a 98C that I made into an M4 and it was very expensive and wouldn't suggest doing it. I got all my stuff off of Opsgear. THe thing is, it looks cool, but it is too heavy to be a good playing gun. The Alpha is lighter, looks like an M4 and has all the same internals as a 98C, plus you can add a 98C barrel and a 98C Cyclone (w/some mod) to them. They also are cheaper and the Egrip version will be out soon. I'm getting the Alpha/Egrip as my next gun and will mount my red dot and barrel to it.

Dude I live in Canada, Canadian Tire or Walmart has them. They are more expensive than a U.S. website, but you won`t have to pay shipping or duty on. Or try this

www.tacticalpaintball.ca

This is where I bought my A-5 from. Free shipping

I would agree on either getting an Alpha Black or stepping up to an A-5. Several sites offer the A-5 at around $179 which is basically the same price as buying a 98C with a Cyclone which you will probably buy eventually anyways.

I do agree, I love the 98C, but the Alpha Black is a 98 with an M4 kit. Also it's cheaper (in the U.S.) then the 98. You will probably spend another $200.00 making it look like an M4. I did it and wish the Alpha was around before I did all of that.

chaibill,

You've tried to talk people into buying an SP1 in four separate threads, yet you admit . . .

. . . in this thread that you don't even own one.  Suggesting a marker based on a good experience with it is one thing; suggesting it based on what you read in the advertising copy is a different matter entirely.

You should probably quit pimpin' for SP until you have actually purchased/used the marker in question.

I am including links to the threads in question and am also going to paste this post in every thread as a "heads-up" to those who may be mislead into thinking your advice is based on experience.

I have no play experience with it, which is why I normally don't comment on it.  Having handled one at the local store, I have been thinking it has potential as the basis of a CQB setup.  I would assume that it would operate in a manner very similar to the Ion.
