Ill start a topic with the same title in the gallery as soon as I get some pics, but until then Ill list what we use.
ME: 98 Custom 12" J&J Ceramic Polished internals Ported feedneck Double trigger w/ pen spring and #30 pin mod Drop forward WGP wrap-around grips 9oz tank MY BROTHERS: Model 98 14" DYE Xcel Polished internals Ported feedneck Double trigger w/ lighter spring, #30 pin mod, and handguard Drop forward Milled off lettering Top-cocking Vert. adapter ACI Sub-Zero 4-stage expansion chamber 12oz tank Ive bought and built both of them... bought them both second hand (at seperate times) and have slowly upgraded them. Now, my brother is headed back to college and Im letting him take the M98 with him. I really should give it a paintjob before he goes, but I dont have the time, ambition, or supplies. First break (thanxgivin), when we are both back home, Ill buy some MetalCast and bake on a nice finish for it, but until then its going to be an ungly, ugly beast... but it will perform beautifully. Yeah, it does seem that Im letting my brother have the better marker, but thats okay. I was too lazy to switch the internals, so I just put the x-chamber on the M98. Plus, I have plans to someday put a LP system in my 98C. So Im kind of glad that I gave him a marker he wont ever have to worry about. Anyways, Ill post pics when I can. Until then, tell me what you think... what do I need, what should I look into, etc etc. ------------- Tippmann 98C: 12" J&J Ceramic Polished internals Trigger job Double trigger Drop-forward Ported elbow |

im not sire but i think i just mill a long whole in the top of the gun, like on the site rail and thenu rotate the hammer so that the cocking rod is pointing up, then u'd need to mill a small whole in the hammer for the linkage arm ------------- |

But the groove for the sear would be facing up and would cause the gun to fire automatically. You would have to drill a hole for the cocking know straight thru the bolt on the top side. You cannot just turn the bolt. ------------- Video: http://pbvids.gamesxposed.com/files1/RTP.1116548567.wmv - My Automag RT Pro ::: http://boydsters-pics.mypicgallery.com/ - My Gallery ::: |

i made an old spyder of mine top cocking but it was rear cocking so all i did was chopped off the end of the bolt where u pull it back and then drilled and tapped a hole in it and milled a groove in the top then just put a screw in it with a cocking knob ------------- a5 polished internals flatline custom aluminum foregrip drop e grip w/custom blade trigger palmer stabalizer 71ci 4500psi dye throttle dye invisions vision impy tapeworm crossfire 88/45 EVO |

Yea, why go thru all the trouble. Just drill a new hole for the cocking knob to fit in. ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |

Yea, just drill a hole in the bolt then in the body so it can move back and forth, then rotate the inside of the bolt so that the cocking rod fits in the middle, then put everything back together  ------------- http://imageshack.us">

Sorry for taking so long, but here is how I did it. Okay, drill a hole in the top of the hammer and mill a cut in the top yeah yeah yeah. You guys are forgetting soemthing very important. The cocking coking goes ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE HAMMER. You can t do this with thingy becase if you drill all the way through then the cocking rod will hit the sear and all kinds of poop=poop will happen. you have to file a bit off the sear to make it happen... which mean, yes, you have to elongate the hole for the spring to go through. Its all simple with a dremel but it takes a little time. So, yeah, Ill port pistures when Im not lazy and when Im not under the influence. Have fun and be safe. ------------- Tippmann 98C: 12" J&J Ceramic Polished internals Trigger job Double trigger Drop-forward Ported elbow |
