| hey i started playng paintball over the summer a bougth a real peice of junk gun and now im looking into buying a tippmann. i was gonna just get a 98c but while i was searching the forums i saw the procustom. I dont want the electric version i want the regular mechanical. What do you guys think should i just go out and buy a 98c or should i wait for the procustom (well from what i gather the procustom is a real thing and isnt just a scam like some people say but seeing as i am just a newb how should i know) |

you can get it without the ebolt. that what i am hoping to do i like how it has the drop forward and better (or well longer and looks better) barrel and the doubled trigger and its selling in presales on paintballcounty for 10 dollars less(i think) |

Sadly, get the Pro-Custom because it does come with a drop forward and
double trigger already installed so you don't have to do it yourself. (I hate giving this advice...) ------------- <Removed sig for violation of Clause 4 of the New Sig Rules> |

Get the Pro-Custom. If you get the Stock edition it's only $159... It's going to accept all current and future M98/98c upgrade options... Plus it will be easier for you to upgrade in the future if you deside to get the E-grip. BTW, there IS NO E-BOLT for the Pro-Custom. It's a sear tripper just like the A-5 E-grip. The E-Bolt is being discontinued... ------------- Take the Power back! It's time to Take this forum Back from the 1337 flamers, immature idiots and know-it-alls.

WRONG!!! The e-bolt is not on the Pro Custom. It requires a ram in the back to push the bolt forward with air instead of a spring. Since the Pro Custom obviously has no ram and it uses the original bolt, it must be a sear tripping system, which is no where near as fast or efficient. -------------
