Aight guys. Well, since I last posted my 98c, I've done a lot of milling to it. Mostly becuase the paintjob got screwed up by playing (Skirmish in a foot of snow), and I just got tired of it. So, I've been aganizingly working on it for the past month or so. I'm partially finished. Just got some tuching up to do. Anyway, heres the goods... http://photobucket.com/albums/b31/SuzukiRider987/98c%20Pictures/?"> http://photobucket.com/albums/b31/SuzukiRider987/98c%20Pictures/?"> http://photobucket.com/albums/b31/SuzukiRider987/98c%20Pictures/?action=view¤t=Updated98cPics013.jpg"> Specs:
As you can probably see, the gun is extremely light, and very sleek. And just if you're wondering, the cocking rod is super-glued into the back and front bolts so when I shoot it doesn't pop out. Still to come: Quick Strip mod, trigger stops, some touch up, cutting down the cocking knob, etc. And when I'm all finished, I'm either going to give it another Parrot paint job, or get it powder coated a Red. Hope yall' likey.

so sleek and so light looking....really needs a nice coat of paint though. Red would look cool. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Really nice job on the milling. One thing though. Somebody
suggested that it looks like a tube with a hopper attached, and that's
true, but why keep the handle if you're gonna go ahead and do all that
work? Not a criticism, just curious. Good work though! Can't wait to see it painted. ------------- Gary - A.K.A. Captain Ursus http://www.fuzzyduckpaintball.com">

You're 100% right. But, we are talking about powder coating, not anodizing. ^^And I was thinking about completely taking off the front handle, but I came across 2 see-able problems. 1. If I were to make it flush to the rest of the body, I would take off the one remaining elbow mount... And I don't plan on making a ghetto centerfeed. 2. I'm planning on doing a 90* front grip some how... so I need the grip. Any other ideas guys are welcome. If you got a sick idea, throw it out there. Right now I'm thinking about the 90* foregrip, and a removable frame. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

Yes but his link was to Fireball mountain and they don't advertise on that site that they do powdercoating...just anodizing and laser engravings and such... Red powdercoat would look VERY hot though...I wouldn't change it (keep the front grip), I would just clean it up and smooth it out so that it's nice and clean and then powdercoat...and maybe do a quality centerfeed job like drill and tap to accept a feed neck...but other than that I think it's very unique and it's perfect the way it is. ------------- my tippmann is better than yours http://model98.org">
