Nice. I like it, that is just about one of the only
milled M98s that I like. Although I still think the milling makes the gun look rather...boring. Still I think I like it because it looks clean, most people who do milling end up putting on a nasty paint job, tons of stickers, and hokey names. This is definitely my favorite mill job. What did you do to your RT to modify it? And how did you lighten the hammer and shorted the cocking stroke? 10/10, and thats from somebody who doesn't like milling. ------------- Model 98C J&J 2P Palmers Stab.

| That is amazing, get a CP rail for it and it would get a 10 in my book. but until then, it gets a 9.6789. What kind of reg is that? or is it just a gas thru? |

Ebolts are for 98c only. Egrips are for A5s. Very nice job on the gun. It looks amazing. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

i put the lp hose and fittings on,but i also drilled out the hole in the ram cylinder. plus i've lightened the hammer and shortened the cocking stroke, and modified the sear. my hammer is lighter than modified hammer on the model98.net mod page. like natural newbie says, "because i can" i'm a retired machinist and lke to tinker, so i did. ------------- |

I was planning on doing the exact same thing to my 98 C. It looks bloody good. Did you also take the dovetail off? Also, could you tell me how you took the rear sight off? Because there's an allen bolt under it, so I'e have to grind it and leave a bit of a bump there so I don't need to put in a new one. Thanks, and once again..Smokin' job BecauseIplantodotheexactsamething 10/10 -------------

thanks for all the positive remarks, yes both dovetails are gone, and the front sight is gone. i drilled and tapped for smaller screws below the original front and rear screws. with out the barrel and grips it's under 3 lbs. alot of internal milling for weight reduction. ------------- |

Ohhh, ok I see now. Alot of craftmenship went into this marker. Awesome work. How much internal milling did you do? 3 lbs, is that fully loaded, or just the gun (No tank, hopper ECT) Too bad I don't have a tap and dye set Looks like I'm keeping the rear sight..I coudl use it sometimes I guess. -------------

3lbs doesn't include tank and hopper. Very nice gun, it's alot like what I've done with mine. Except mine doesn't have near that much milling. Sweet 9.6/10 |

ok, first i tried to take pictures of the internals but you can't
really see clearly what i did, so here's what i did. i drilled 17
- 3/8" holes in the grip handle. then i ground out any
unnecessary lugs or excess material in the grip and around the vertical
adapter. i took my dial venier calipers and measured around all the
seams and ground out all thick lips and made the seams the same
thickness all around the inside. i ground away half of the slot where
the linkage rod slides. the pistol grip is about 1/8" smaller (my
dye3 grips just slide on now). both front and rear sights are comletely
gone. i took out the o-ring that the hammer hits on the return cocking
stroke and put in 3 rubber washers ( that shortened the stroke
approx. .150") then i shortened the rear bolt (hammer) .025 of an inch.
i also filled in the slot in the sear so it dosen't slide it just
piviots. that took .100 of an inch off the hammer travel. i put a
trigger stop in but it takes out the trigger slop before you pull(my
trigger has approx. .010" travel before it trips the sear, and only
about 1/8" total travel). both sight dovetails are gone and i have a
ccm spyder clamping center feed neck. i used "Quick Steel" to fill in
the cocking slot and to make the mounting surface for the center feed.
the stock hammer from the full boar rear cocking system is lighter than
the tippmann hammer, but i turned mine down .010 of an inch (not much
weight taken off) but it never rubs on the inside if the receivers -
less drag. i use the maddman green spring. i put the lp hose and
fittings on the rt and drilled out the fitting on the rt cylinder for
more air flow (becareful if you try this). it shoots pretty fast now, i
use a halo b with a victory board and have to set the board at 24 bps
or i chop. i'm not saying i can shoot 24bps - probably 18/20 at best. i'm putting a lapco machine gun shroud on and a modifing a M85 AEG magazine to go over my expansion chamber just for a military look, and will repaint it again soon. ------------- |

i tried to get a mp5 clip but there not big enough to fit ovr my expansion chamber. i'm putting a different magazine on now. i have rear cocking so i'm not sure how i can mount a stock yet, still working on that. went to oklahoma d-day and saw some awsume guns there. the head tech at the tippmann trailer like my 98, but with the rt unhooked i get 3 /5 shot bursts(because of mod's and no trigger spring) so i couldn't use my 98. semi auto only  ------------- |

I see, I'm nopt going to do all that now because, I don't want to because its a large amount of work but I'll do some now. I lightened my internals by just lightening the body like doing deep engraving on the protected areas like the grips or the tippmann logo for instance in my grips my name is engraved twice inside the grips, I also have been thinking about trying to make deep wells into the frame then sealing them with something light like bondo maybe I want to lighten it, and when I get access to a machine shop I want to rework the internals and shorten it. I want to shorten it by removing part of the upper body tube and lower shortening the stroke and taking off some of the back of the gun and well, working from there. I would also like to make the foregrip and frame 90*. But, first I need to replace my valve and random screws that are missing. EDIT - And a friendly reminder if your valve screws are not in correctly as in tight enough they get shot out by blowback, and strip the threads in the valve, if they are in too tight they mess with the valve, I never knew that until it was too late...(Shoulda read the manual) -------------
