I just wanted to show off my gun, and see what other people thought about it.. I got a new paintjob on it. My friends dad paints cars for a living, and he told me that if I sanded it all down, he would paint it for me. So I sanded it all down, and he painted it Black Cherry. It looks black, but once the sun hits it, it has a hint of red to it.. Then he put 4 coats of clear coat on it. Shiny!
Then I got myself a 14" whisper barrel. (*shrugs*) A expansion chamber, dropfoward, Full Boar Shadow rear cocking. Double Trigger, Polished internals, and colt .45 wood grips on it. I think it looks pretty damn pimp.. But it could just be me.. http://img479.imageshack.us/img479/6685/dscn1162small9xo.jpg">
What now? Im kinda stuck, I dont want to put a R/T on it. And, new internals, well. I dont know what all the difference would be. And if its really worth it.. Any ideas? Im also not too into getting a stock, because, its big and I wouldnt use it.. |

Y dont you wanna get an R/T? I would just lose the wood grips and put some stickys on it. But R/T's rock, have you ever seen one in action? Anyways though VERY nice so far. |

I would polish the insides(if you havn't already), maybe think about a
female stabalizer for the asa, maybe lighten the trigger spring(agian
if you havn't already). I like it, I bet the black cherry looks nice
when the sun hits it.

I know the rock, Ive shot a Tippmann with one on there. But I cant really use it on the field. And in tournaments, I cant use it at all. Its not as easy to disable it as a electronic trigger or whatnot.. I like the wood grips better than the stickies. I didnt really like the sticky ones, they felt like, dirty sticky.. I wasnt impressed. And you never see anyone with wood grips.. |

How hard is it to make it a centerfeed? Would it mess up the paintjob? Or if I am carefull, can I make it a center feed with minimal damage to the paint? |

I gotta disagree here. The very first upgrade I got for mine was the DOP Pro-Seal powertube (and replecement front bolt). It improved air efficiency tremendously. Gave my gun a 'smoother feel' too. It's the first upgradde I'd suggest for any 98c. The surprising thing is it's a cheap upgrade for what it did... Oh, and nice job on the marker, btw   ------------- Eph 6:12 "For we fight not against flesh & blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly realms" |

No they are not... The stock power tube on the 98 is an absolute shoddy POC, Get a DoP Aluminum powertube + Front bolt. Alot less friction, improves air efficiency and way more solid, Keep the stock back bolt, polish the inside of the guns body. Get some new springs. |

sorry, the originality of the grips isn't going to help the fact that they're wood. theres a reason no one has wood grips anymore. they are not as comfy and easy to grip. |

| I know they are not as comfy, or easy to grip.. But... Honestly, how much does that matter. If I had these cool looking wood ones, compared to some stickys, I wouldnt care.. I can hold on to it.. |
