It's not much right now. It's stock except for the barrel and trigger spring.
That's a PMI Razor barrel on there. It's a decent barrel for $30; the downside is that you have to wrap a bunch of teflon tape around the threads so the barrel doesn't unscrew itself. I can't find my tank anywhere, or my red dot sight. And about the scratches, that's from the red dot sight. The finish isn't as durable on an M98 than it is on a 98c. The grips are modified so I don't have to remove them to disassemble the gun. I sacrificed a bit of comfort for convenience, though, so I'll be getting split grips. More pics to come! EDIT: Better pic |

It's probably buried somewhere in my room. I had it two weeks ago, the last time I played, and lost it after I changed the o-ring. EDIT: Why isn't the thumbnail working?!?!? Bah, I suck at the internet. I'll fix it when I get home. |

Those barrels suck, I had one for my 98 and the stock was just as good. ------------- *Team Compulsive* Sponsors *Won-Ago-Biking* *Curleys Waterfront* |

Looks good, even though 80% of it is stock. Plan on upgrading anymore? Hope you find the tank... ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Here it is with the scratches, lettering, and PMI logo on the barrel painted over and the
gas line darkened: http://img40.exs.cx/img40/8619/98pic1.jpg - http://img40.exs.cx/img40/8619/98pic1.jpg For upgrades, I'm looking at a Flatline, since I hate arcing shots. Should be getting it fairly soon. As for the tank, it's probably around here somewhere, but even if I don't find it, it's just a BE 9oz. I'll end up replacing it soon. |

you need a o-ring on your barrel so it doesn"t fall off ------------- sniper one shot one kill |

The barrels are threaded in and held tightly so they wont fall off. Nice marker. ------------- |

It has nothing to do with the o-rings and everything to do with the craptastic threads. That's why the barrel's so cheap. And I'll probably end up stripping it and repainting it in matt black. The car scratch touch-up polish is temporary. |

I like ones with flip-top lids better. It sucks having to hold the lid out of the way as I'm loading it. |
