Well just started playing paintball again, and my brother gave me this 98 Custom. Tell me what you think.
Im thinking of taking the drop forward off and getting a 6" steel braided line, and a remote. Im mostly into woodsball, and would also like to get a stock, and a sling. Any opinions on these mods?
Lastly, im not a fan of the 32° barrel thats on here. Whats a good barrel for a man on a budget? |

Looks like a nice start. You could get a lapco bigshot or j&j ceramic barrel pretty cheap.
and lastly welcome to the forums |

Nice.  And since you play woods I'd defiantly get a remote and also a stock if you like em'. And I'd suggest a J&J Ceramic for the Barrel. They run about $40.------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

| Excellent, you just reinforced my thoughts on the J&J. I'm still using a standard reloader, any need to upgrade to a mechanical one? I found that when playing this weekend, the balls would somtimes not feed into the chamber, and i was not ever firing fast. Another player told me to cock it back a little further, and it worked. Any solution to this so it doesnt happen at the wrong time? |

If you get an Electronic (not mechanical) hopper, than it'll fix you problems of the hopper not feeding. I'd suggest a Viewloader Revolution (aka Revvy). ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

| Okay, but just one more question. The problem im describing to you, does it sound like blowback is the cause of it? |

Usually paintballs are heavy enough to not be effected by blowback,
don't bother drilling holes in your gun, it looks dumb. The paintballs stop feeding because there's 2 in the way of the feedneck on the hopper, just shake it a little bit, or don't pack it so tight when filling it up. ------------- [IMG]http://i27.tinypic.com/1538fbc.jpg"> Squeeze Box ☣ |

| Well as of right now, im gonna remove the Drop forward, and put the stock bottomline back on with a 6" SS hose, and sometime in the next week or so im going to order a J&J 14" ceramic barrel, a Collapsable stock, and a rocket cock II. Im also thinking of adding a red dot sight, but im not sure if it would fit properly. Any suggestions as to where to get a offset mount for the sight rail, and even a flashlight adapter for the barrel? |

| You can get a offset from JCS at http://www.bp-usa.com - www.bp-usa.com it runs about $15. I think they also have a tac light kit too. |

Hey thanks. But back on topic......I'd say lose the drop, get the steel hose, and get an electro hopper (a Revvy or Ricochet AK are good choices). ------------- Zerglet. |
