No, none of us can. You need to decide what you want to change about the gun. Speed, accuracy, consistancy, efficiency? Or does it seem to shoot just fine for you? Don't upgrade unless you have to. ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |

Well, what do you want to change about your gun? Have you noticed it lacking in anything particular? You don't just upgrade for the sake of upgrading. How often do you play? For occasional rec use, that setup seems fine. Again, unless there is something you want to change about it. There are thousands of ideas and upgrades out there, you can't just tell us to tell you what you need. Give us some guidelines as to what you want to change about your gun. If you can't think of anything, then the answer is, do not spend any money on upgrades at this moment. Save it for paint and admission. ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |

| well t looks like any other 98c so i was thinking about getting a electronic hopper (maybe a richochet) and an RT. i play alot of woods behind my house so i also thought about geting a stock. But what i need help on is the expantion chamber. I dont even know what it does but my friends say i need 1.I wanna make it look different .Im just tired of going to rec places and people thinking i rent A gun. |

Regulator instead of expansion chamber. Palmers Stablizers are the best for CO2.

Ok, you want to increase your rate of fire with an RT. Yes, an electronic hopper would be a good idea to accompany that. If you don't want to spend a ton, the Ricochet AK will suit you nicely. If you are looking into a stock for a different feel, you might want a remote line to take the tank off of the gun also. Is this local field you play at a speedball field? If so, you might want to forget about the stock for versatility's sake.
An x-chamber allows liquid co2 to expand into gas before entering the gun. You get less liquid in your valve making your shots more consistant, giving your internals longer life, and giving you better efficiency out of each tank fill. A Palmers stabilizer might be overkill if you play rec and backwoods ball. You'll need a vert asa and the actual x-chamber. I reccomend the ACI 4 or 6 stage. The X-core 8 stage by DOP is good too. Talk to the guys at your local pro shop, they'll install everything for you. ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |

If your wanting more, but not sure what you want, check out http://www.opsgear.com - www.opsgear.com There you`ll find lots of new mods to improve your gun. Also check out some of the tippmann galleries on this site. Maybe someone has something you want. As for the barrel you just bought, its not the greatest, but have you thought about a new hopper, mag kit, HPA or remote line? ------------- "The key in war isn't to die for your country, but to make the othe bastard die for his". |
