New 98C Design

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I would really love to see a redesign of the 98Cs front sight. To those of you who own a 98C or have dealt with disassembling one you know how much of a pain it can be to keep the little spring from popping off the front sight.
I actually lost one spring when putting the cover back onto my marker a few years ago.

What I'd like to see is Tippmann add that little spring to the feed elbow. There is very little need to disassemble that part so it would be much more difficult for someone to lose that spring.

I have 2 98Cs and there have been very few times when my markers have had something wrong with them on the field, but it has happened, and when it does I just don't use my marker for the rest of the day because I don't want to lose that spring. If that spring wasn't in the marker and was on the feed elbow instead I would be far more inclined to disassemble my marker on the field so that I could keep using it.

	the new ones are made so the spring cannot fly out.

	Thats one of the problems that Tippmann fixed in the 98 Custom Platinum. Along with pretty much every other little annoyance in taking the 98 apart.
