Get the cyclone, that's what I got for my custom pro. It keeps you from
having to 'shake and bake' the gun in the middle of a game. I'm also
getting a r/t or E-grip later on, and the cyclone can keep up with both. ------------- Stiffy2008- 'wat is a noob?' Yep, I lied about getting a Trans Am. |

Then get the r/t or E-grip. I recommend the r/t that way you don't need
to waste money on batteries. And for your barrel, get the J&J
Ceramic.

| what is the difference between a e-grip and e-trigger and i highly advise to get a e thingy lol and if you are a big spender and have the money but a boomstick which is the BEST barrel even though you most likely wont keep your tippmann forever i will because it was my first gun but that a personal choice the stock custom pro barrel will last you a while its a good one but if i were you i would save for a e-grip then you can switch for field wood speed and other tricky **edited** |

As i mentioned earlier im not a big spender and i have not much money.

| it lets you shoot even if your CO2 is running low and im pretty sure that is savors your co2 more rationaly so that you get more shoots out of your tanks but im not sure if its worth it or not |

or not this is a discripton i got strait from the kits descripton This ClassifiedBuyers Paintball classified ad is for a NEW Tippmann 98 Low Pressure System. Change your Model 98 to a low pressure system with this bolt-on part. Lower pressure provides for more consistent cocking, less ball breakage, and greater long-range accuracy. A must-have for anyone running HPA on their Tippmann 98 Custom! |

| Man, I'd love to help, but I can barely read any of this. I have a collapsable M-4 style stock and love it. I also love my response trigger, as it lets me dial in exactly what rate of fire I want to use. I use it to fire off quick 3-5 round bursts(at about 5 or 6 bps) without wasting a ton of paint like full auto does. |

| how do you tune in your r/t? and i think CAR stocks are a waist |
Posted By: Sixgun77
Date Posted: 30 December 2005 at 6:40pm
|
You tune the r/t by turning the screw on the fitting that adjusts rate of fire. |

can u see through the stock sights with a car stock? ------------- Setup: Marke:98 custom pro Custop Products Flame drop Barrel:12" SP Progressive Hopper: Vieloader evolution II 98%of paintballers act gangsta if you are the 2%that are normal put this in your sig |

You can't see throught the iron sights on a paintball gun while wearing a mask because you can't stick your face against the stock. Without a stock the sights are pointless because sticking your face to the same exact part of the stock every single time you shoot is as important as breathing control and trigger squeeze when it comes to accurate shooting.
There's only one adjustment screw on a r/t. It's in the back, at least for the a-5. Tighter is slower. I think it's 17 BPS max if the gun and hopper can keep up. |

I know how to shoot a gun im a recreational hunter and the same basic principles apply between a real rifle or a paintball marker. But i use the co2 tank as a stock and the sights are fine. I agree that with a stock they would be a lot better but im still not sure if i want one. ------------- Setup: Marke:98 custom pro Custop Products Flame drop Barrel:12" SP Progressive Hopper: Vieloader evolution II 98%of paintballers act gangsta if you are the 2%that are normal put this in your sig |

You can very easily fire 2 round(or more than two round) bursts by not holding the trigger in the sweet spot, but instead slowly squeezing it all the way through it's range of travel. |

I do woodsball and speedball so a remote and a stock arent exactly good speedball choices but there nice for woods ball. Are they easy to install and uninstall depending on what type of game your playing that day? ------------- Setup: Marke:98 custom pro Custop Products Flame drop Barrel:12" SP Progressive Hopper: Vieloader evolution II 98%of paintballers act gangsta if you are the 2%that are normal put this in your sig |

| The remote and stock so far haven't caused me any trouble playing speedball. I prefer woods but nobody at the field here will play woods. The remote makes it a little difficult to hold the gun in my left hand for the run to the bunker at the start of the game but that's it. It's very easy to install, the remote comes with a fitting that screws into the gun where the tank would. The tank screws into a fitting with a valve on one end of the remote cable, the gun end has a quick disconnect cable. I alwasy carry two tanks and two cables zip tied together so that if I run out mid game I just pop off one line, clip on the other, and open the valve. Or I sometimes toss the extra tank to a needy team member. |
