BEST marker tippy has ever put out in my opinion. I used to have a RT'd 98c fully decked out and sold it as i was useing the Carbine more offten simply cause i prefered its feel and simple yet GREAT performance. It has one of the LOWEST profiles of any gun i have used and is dead on accurate outa the box (stock barrel was great but with the J&J its pretty amazing for a paintball gun). I STILL prefer it for woods over my Mag and even opt to use it in speedball on occashion over the mag as im simpy soo used to it and comfortable with it. ------------- AGD 68 Automag Azodin KPII Sheridan PGP2K Tippmann Crossover XVR Tippmann ProCarbine Tippmann SL68-II Tippmann TiPX |

Same as the A5. Well more like the A5 has the same as the Pro Carbine But none the less any barrel thats listed for the a5 will fit a procarbine but some requier a little modifying of the front grip to fit properly. Suggestions id reccomend a J&J ceramic (NO modifying needed) Cheap accurate and quiet. although the Lapco Bigshots are said to be REALLY nice as well but are a tad more expensive and ALOT louder also the 12"-14" work fine with no modification needed but the 8.5" needs some SERIOUSE grinding on the for grip to fit. ------------- AGD 68 Automag Azodin KPII Sheridan PGP2K Tippmann Crossover XVR Tippmann ProCarbine Tippmann SL68-II Tippmann TiPX |

Yeah, I switched my 14" J&J Ceramic from my A-5 to my venerable Pro/Am. Works great! ------------- A-5 Armson DOT Sight Armson Raised Sightrail DOP Bullet Drop DOP RVA DOP X-Core DOP Vertical Adapter E-Grip(APE) Flatline Barrel HPA JCS Duel Trigger Lightening Bolt QEPH Vortex Mod |

I own a M98C, A5RT, and ProCarbine.
ProCarbine's are very lightweight(barely over 2#), high build-quality(metal valve/trigger/powertube), very easy to strip(basically unscrew the end cap), has that rifle-type feel, and is basically a really really tough workhorse of a gun....if a proCarbine goes down on you, you did something wrong. IMHO, the negatives aren't much. The biggest one, and is just my opinion, is that the proCarbine is a gun that is kinda hard to grow with. It's very nice as a gun to throw in your trunk and use when you need it or want to, but I don't think it's a good primary for the average paintballer. It's simply not a "fast"(high rate of fire) gun, and it takes a couple small mods to even get the trigger to the point of a stcok M98C pull. And the A5 is the lowest profile Tippmann  .
