I think it depends on when and how you play. If you are just doing a few weekend games here and there. you probably will have all you need from what you have described. If you plan on big games or scenarios you might want to consider a sling, a bipod, a grenade launcher, a scope, grips, or a tactical light with pressure switch. You can go broke just considering the options. BTW, the red dot scope is not a bad thing to have once you have it zeroed in for the flatline. Just make sure you are shooting about 270 fps for optimal performance.

if ur going w/ the sniper setup, get a remote line, and a 4+1 pak. the 4+1 pak holds 4 pods and 1 tank. the remote line will give you more manuverability, this way you wont have a tank on ur gun w/ a stock.

All I got was a Car-15 stock and Flatline with my 98c and it works just fine for woodsball. I can own my friends n e time.
Keep in mind the gun doesn't make the player. It's nice every once in while to use a pump to hone your skills and relearn the basics ;-)

Paint and admission. Play a couple games with the freaking gun first. Then mull over what you might like to change. Do you want better accuracy, efficiency, camoflauge, sights, etc? Or maybe you don't feel the need to improve anything. If not, then don't spend money because some bozo on the net told you to get a double trigger or a remote line.
Get the gun first and play with it. Don't ask us what we think would make your gun better. Find out what you want to change and THEN come to us to figure out how to improve those fields.

An ebolt with a flatline? I don't think so. Get a new hopper. If you play woodsball, get a ricochet hopper. If you play speed ball, get a revvy. Also you might want to get a remote line and a pack if you play woodsball. If you play speedball, get a drop forward.

A ricochet would be better for both woods and speed considering it's just a better hopper.
And a d/f or remote does not depend on what style you play. He may just like the tank on or off the gun.

Flatline With an R/T. The Flatline will give 100 more
feet of distance and accuracy beyond any barrel i'v
ever seen. The R/T will give you the extra firepower
eveyone wants. Skip the hopper I bought a Halo TSA
LCD it didn't stop the ball breaks.
98 custom
flatline
R/T
double Trigger
custom made drop forward

Well if he's going to get an RT he needs am agitated or maybe even force fed loader. And a conventional barrel will have a range of around 75 feet at 280fps. The Flatline has an effective range of about 100 feet and a maximum range of about 150 feet. It does not add 100 feet. It also does not increase accuracy, only range. It is truthfully not nearly as accurate as other barrels in and below its price range.
If he gets the RT and fires normally at about 15bps get either the HALO TSA or Ricochet 2KX. If you fire at around 20+bps you'll need a HALO B or other force feeder. An agitating loader such as the TSA will not be enough. You need a force feeding loader for those speeds.
