Sorry about the kafargin huge photos... I'm getting some micro-line for my 98, so it's not working as of now (obviously) I just got the Halo B with rip drive for my Ion. I'm going to get a clamping feed neck for it next week. Well, tell me what you all think. Later -------------

it looks like you cut the foregrip unevenly. or maybe you meant to do
that. and you should cut the wood off of the grips thats hanging off
the gun. and im guessing your getting a new drop/uni. otherwise, nice
guns. not really a huge fan of ions, mainly cause theres a ton of them
everywhere, but i really like the 98c. hows the pt extreme shoot for a
pistol?

Microline?!
Why microline? Why not macroline? Or above that... why not steel braided? And why is it so lit up in your hole? :) |

I took a light in there, just this once... Macroline is alot easier to work with than steel braided, plus it's pretty stinkin' durable...(more than people may think). I have about 10 different styles of foregrips, (most of them look better than the ones I have on there.) I just put the wood on the rear grips, I had it overhange because I used to have a drop forward on the gun. (it's on the Ion now). later -------------

Microline is the line used on cocker 3 ways. You want macroline. Commonly used on high-end guns. The 98c looks like it could use a new paint job. The Ion looks like it needs a new feedneck. Nice guns, looks like you put a lot of time into the 98c. |

Ok, I ment Macroline...(remember I had a cocker for about three months, just long enough for me to get the two confused). I will not be painting my Tippmann any time soon. I like the worn look. Like I said, next week I'll be getting a clamping feed neck for the Ion. Thanks to all for the compliments. Carrr, I'm going... -------------

dude why would u murder a 98c like that it makes me wanna cry at least make the wooden fore grip unique and not like the original one ------------- Building an Evil Empire... One piece at a time :) |

The foregrip is unique. It is about 1/2" longer and form-fitted to my hand.
I have about 5 (not 10) other forgrips that are VERY different from the original. I am an individualist, My Ion will probably look a little crazy in a couple of years. -------------

| Is that camo tape on your hopper? |
Posted By: reclusivetorrid

Yup, cammo duct tape to be specific.
That's a ricochete Ak (older version). It won't stay in the 98's feed neck (pops out). It was also red when I got it (I got the hopper really cheap). So, I decided to tape it to the feed neck and wrap it in in cammo duct tape. Killing two birds with one stone. Plus I think it looks pretty sweet. Later -------------
