Last night I was at the sporting goods store about an hour and a half away from where I live. It was my first time in there, and I went back to see what paintball stuff they had. I saw a BKO in the case and asked the guy if I could check it out. SO there I was holding the BKO (they also had a B2k4, but it's a little expensive for my taste) and I think that I'm hooked now. I've always wanted to upgrade to a better marker than my 98 Custom, but I don't have good access to HPA and my tank has a tiny leak in it, so it looses about 1000 psi a day until it falls to 1000. I don't know if I should just rent a nitrogen tank, but that would be really expensive. I just wanted some opinions on what to do. ------------- Founder of the "Forumers Against the Ugly Woman Sigs" also known as FAUWS. |

Send your tank to a airsmith to seal it up.($10?) Also, your BKO wont cycle much faster then your 98c without PDS, and that is a $150 upgrade. -Good Luck! -------------

Hmm. I was just wondering how much better it was in accuracy and all of that. I really want an accurate marker, maybe moreso than how fast it is. I still want to lay down some paint, but I really want something more accurate than an open bolt blowback marker. ------------- Founder of the "Forumers Against the Ugly Woman Sigs" also known as FAUWS. |

just buy a good barrel for your 98 like a Ultralite, or a good barrel kit. And for speed, try getting an R/T?

Pfft, you'll still shoot 15-18 BPS with a BKO dude. Significantly faster than your 98. PDS really isn't necessary, although it's nice.
I'd vote Ion over a BKO. If you can afford it(I'm assuming this BKO is like $180-$250). |

Ion was another of my choices. If I get a palmer, would it be alright to shoot c02 with the Ion. I know a stock Ion will freeze with c02. ------------- Founder of the "Forumers Against the Ugly Woman Sigs" also known as FAUWS. |

Yeah-Palmer Stabalizer, and an anti-siphon tank. That should work well enough.
Nice sig. |

Thanks. I really don't know who will do an anti-syphon around here, but ill try to manage. Only thing is, if I get an Ion, ima need a better hopper. What is the cheapest that will keep up? ------------- Founder of the "Forumers Against the Ugly Woman Sigs" also known as FAUWS. |

ION is actualy more expensive than an 04 BKO no PDS. The BKO is a faster gun than the ION. Or you can pick up a 2004 B2K PDS for $299 probebly less. -------------

Yeah, i noticed that. The BKO is around $250 and the Ion is nearly $300. ------------- Founder of the "Forumers Against the Ugly Woman Sigs" also known as FAUWS. |
