Tippmann 98 sniper body real gun

ok im thinking about taking my 98 custom and buying a composite material stock for a bolt action rifle.  i am going to design the 98 custom in autocadd and see how i can make it fit into the stock.  I do not want it to be a pistol grip stock.  I will make the trigger like the trigger on a normal rifle.  i am planing on doing that by makeing my own electronic trigger (cost under $25 for parts).  i want to get or make bolt action parts, but use the bolt action to store a 12 gram co2.  So instead of the bolt action feeding rounds, i want to seal it off and make it feed co2.  I was thinking that i could probably make a adapter that looks like a 12 gram co2, but will let the Co2 pass threw the bolt action part, to alow the use of a 4oz-9oz co2 tank in the stock.  as for ball loading, i would pretty much seal off the old hole in the 98 custom, and cut off the front handle.  i was planning on making it feed paintballs from the bottom, i would use something like the spring powered tubes used in the long bow sniper (made by spec ops).

if anyone has any suggestions, or has done this before, please let me know.  also if anyone would like to help with with metal smithing that would be great.  i am a poor 16 year old with huge ideas, and i have little money for the cost of milling and also little access to machinists.  if i can make my 98 custom a "sniper look", and once its perfected, i am planning on moding other peoples 98 customs if they want.

thanks josh

lol no a qloader is way tooo much money, plus it would take away the look of a real gun.  i think i will use a 10-20 round clip that slids in right under the barrel.  i have not desided on the size yet, but i dont not want to make the clip any longer 14 inches.

do you guys think that i could finnish this project with out spending major amounts of money?  i want to try and do this for relitively cheap.  if anyone would like to either contribute money, time, or machine skills, please let me know.  contact me at Farmboystrong@aim.com

in about 1 week or whenever i get some CAD pictures of the 98 itself i will post them.  Then once i get that i will start trying to figure out how to drop it into a stock and make it look like a real gun.

touche...he said sniper!!!

my dad owns his own shop and works with metal all the time....just thought i would let you know, also my friend had an idea like this once....never went through with it though...(he has a TON of ideas 4 paintball....but in my opinion, most of them are too complex/expensive, i guess if you had money you could use do sum of his ideas.....such as the 1 where you point your gun at the target and it sets the velocity to the correct FPS required 4 shooting "x" distance)

this is baisicly what i was trying to describe. sort of a rough drawing.
