the best stock would be a tie A-5 and 98c win stock, but all of them, including the carbine, can be upgraded to be equally good. ------------- |

are u serious, well obviously the a-5 is the best, its the newest model and more expensive. that usually means its better. The a-5 and 98 custom's performance are equal, its just that the a-5 comes with a good hopper -------------

The a-5 comes with a stock just plain non moving plastic hopper. I dont see how it is 'good". Now, it is non electonical because of the cyclone feed. And Newest model and more expensive does not always mean better. I would rather take an impulse over a shocker. ------------- |

It depends on what you are and what you are going to do. If you are a casual player, or newbie, or just plain tight on money, then a 98 will suit you just fine. And it will grow with you, it is super fun to upgrade a little at a time. However, an A5 is a little more complicated, but, not more so than a 98 with a mechanical hopper, so were even there on cost, complexity, etc, etc. If you have some paintball experience and want a marker that already has some upgrades and you have the money to drop up front then get the A5 ------------- United States Marine Corps....
