The LPK for the 98 Custom was discontinued, right? Or am I just going
crazy?

Still listed in the product guide on the website. Tons of them on Ebay.

That's why I'm confused. It's still on the website but tippmannparts.com
says they're discontinued. I saw them on ebay, but I just thought "maybe"

Tippmann will also warranty them if something breaks. I'd say if you want one and can get one do it they will stand by it.

I saw that, but I'm wondering why they discontinued it. Heck, I'm still
wondering why Tippmann discontinued the E-Bolt.

Good question as to why on the E-bolt, but my guess on the LPK is because they did not sell enough of them to make it worth producing them any longer.

They must have been expen$ive to produce, otherwise they'd have dropped the price by at least half if not more.  $120 for negligible performance gain seems too much for me.

Yeah. That's probably true. It's just a shame. If they would have made some
improvements, it would have rocked.
