My 98 for the ’08!

Here's my finished(I think) 98 Custom. On a whim I did add the foregrip yesterday as I've been thinking of one of those for some time. I think it looks real good and it fires killer. I posted a vid on YouTube of it and am in the process of uploading a vid giving a closer look at my marker. Should be up soon, but for now enjoy the pics!

Alright! So I got my 'waffle' mag today and installed it with one of the TA Side tac rails I had on hand. I'll be adding another later on. Man, the new mag's changed the look of my marker pretty good and I likey!

I did have to shave some plastic off with my dremel, but not much. Drilled the appropriate 1/8" holes and voila'!

Here you can see the little Side tac which I think's a nice addition. I couldn't fasten it down with screws though and had to opt for Super Glue. I then cut the heads off of the hex screws and glued them down with it too. I held the entire gun up by the one rail and it's on there! Looking at the old style mag now, it just doesn't look so good anymore does it?

Questions and/or comments are most welcome!

Truth.

I like the waffle mag, Do you store the battery for that wire in the magazine or what?

I watched a couple of your vids. Nice job!!

With my recent desire to take on the role as a medium to heavy gunner, aside from just light, I see fit to create a simple modding option for my 98 to make it look more like a machinegun when I take on that role, by simply adding an AK drum mag. I got the idea from looking at some AK pics with this mag on it.

then I went and scored this on ebaY:

Now this is an airsoft mag, but I got lucky and this is nonfunctional which reduces it's price significantly. A functional model is around $100; I scored this for $27 total. Unlike many of the same mags however, again I got lucky and scored this metal one, so in keeping with the MilSim aspect of our sport, this works out very nicely. This is only the "shell" and from what the seller said, there's no internals at all, but whatever, I'll be ripping out whatever's left anyways to reduce it's weight.

I also got in touch with BossMan and asked him about purchasing only his mag wells and it's a "GO"! $20 for the 98 mag well and $8 for the A5 well if anyone's interested. Just e-mail or PM the man.

I'll now also consider getting a bi-pod for when I do throw this beast on my gun.
