Those are pretty good prices. I would say that a barrel is one of the best first upgrades. The LAPCO Bigshot is a very reliable and affordable barrel. If you are having trouble deciding between barrels, check out http://www.pbreview.com - www.pbreview.com Good luck! ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.)

| I would get a barrel first. The J&J ceramic and Lapco Bigshot are good and not too expensive. About websites. Paintballgear.com is good. Some other websites would be http://www.countypaintball.com - www.countypaintball.com and www.888paintball.com - www.888paintball.com ! |

Wow, you got the 98 Custom, 9 oz. tank, and 500 paintballs for $300? You can get all that plus things for under $130 at www.actionvillage.com - ActionVillage . That should not have cost you $300. I'm tight on money too. I'd say get a barrel and maybe a new loader (Viewloader eVo II) will be a pretty good start. Just save up to go the fields and play which is the most important.
