Iv'e played Paintball numerous times with friends but i have yet to buy
a gun... Ive just borrowed from other friends. Now that im gunna start
playing more my friend wants to sell me his 98 Custom with an 18"
barrel , an air tank, and an old hopper for $350. (I can find the exact
gun for $150 online) Is that a good deal, or even a good gun or should
i just look else where for other types of guns? Basically: Is the gun just too old and is 200$ good for a barrel and tank? |

| That's pretty pricey. What kind of air tank, barrel, and hopper is on it? |

Yeah, we need to know what kind of tank, barrel, and hopper's on it. If it's a HPA tank and a good barrel and hopper then it might be a good deal. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

That is way overpriced, unless it is a very nice tank/hopper. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

If its HPA, a stiffi and a revvy then its a decent deal. I would still go for a A-5 similar to the one in my sig or a ION. ------------- My guns name is Mr. Max in remembrance of my dog that got hit by a car: Tippmann A-5 Ricochet R-5 JCS double Trigger Tippmann E-Grip Flatline Barrel Do you have the need for speed? |

He's ripping you off unless it's a nitro tank and a really expensive barrel.

that is a lot of cash, but a tippmann is a nice gun. try to get it cheaper tho. you can customise the crap out of a tippy and embarass the guys who have a shocker... -------------  in modern warfare, victory goes to the nutcase with the biggest explosions.

dont do it, for $350 you can get a 98 custom pro responce(199.99) freek junior kit(69.99) nice hopper(egg~~60) so far that totals to 329.98 and you have enough money left over for 2 factory reconditioned 20 oz co2 tanks from www.firstcallpaintball.com ------------- Getting bunkered is like having sex in prision; it will happen weather you like it or not. |
