ok, I sold my tippmann 98c a while back.it was a truely admirable piece of work. modied triger:a doulble triger and a few nice jery riged mods that i won't tell you how to do because you will break your sear if you try it. &nb sp; &nb sp; but now its gone. all i have left is a compleat comp-air and an expantion chamber. i want to re-build it off of that.and i want to spent under 120$. i don't want it to be stock so if you guys could set a price and price of upgrades (and a list) it would be apriciated. remember:i'm re building it so i don't want a stock triger and a non stock triger. |

The cheapest new 98 "shell" is at http://countysports.com - http://countysports.com . Better to try to find a used one locally or on craigslist. ------------- Don't hate the player... Hate the game. |

It might just be me, but I don't think you'll be able to build even a decent speedball gun for $120 even with a gun already, which you don't have. ------------- A-5 w/ APE E-Grip, Polished Internals, 12" Lapco Bigshot, GTA X Chamber, Dead On RVA, Trinity Spring Kit, Smart Parts Inline On/Off, Smart Parts Anti-Siphons |

| Just buy a used 98c, and upgrade it. You can get a stock 98c for the price of new shells alone... |

too true. i allready have a 06 speed. but i want a back up gun. trust me,i can take a stock tippy,and make it feal like a electric gun. well,it would only feal that way if a double triger was on it,but you know what i mean. ok...but an old,scrached up reject,off e-bay for 50$? and mill off the damaged aria,polish it, buy an ano kit,and i'm done? i can mill for free but how much do ano kits cost? and what ups would you recomend? |

| ^^I'd do it. And you can't anno 98c's, but you can powder coat them. And defiantly get a new barrel, trigger, and maybe a firepower upgrade. |

| you can't make a descent speedball gun out of a 98 for only $120. A new barrel which you will definetely need costs around $60-$80 alone. |

I thought that you could anodize aluminum? Isn't that why all the people selling high end aluminum goods always brag about anodized?

| Tippmann part.com has shells for like 35$ a side and then you get a e trigger and new sear for the e trigger and then your rockin. I should cost about 120-150$ Honestly I dont beleve you need a after market barrel if your shooting 12 plus BPS. Its more about paint to bore match, even tho I have a after market barrel. First get a fire power upgrade, home mods,good hopper,and run it on Hpa. |

I disagree Monkey. I think firepower is for keeping heads down, but you could be much more conservative on paint if you had accuracy as well. ------------- A-5 w/ APE E-Grip, Polished Internals, 12" Lapco Bigshot, GTA X Chamber, Dead On RVA, Trinity Spring Kit, Smart Parts Inline On/Off, Smart Parts Anti-Siphons |

They're aluminum as said. And it's such low grade aluminum, that they're un-annoable. Now the older Tippmanns you could anno due to the quality of aluminum. |

Ahh. Suzuki comes in and saves the day! Thanks to you sir. ON a side note: I assume that the A-5 is made out of the same low quality aluminum? So no anodization (don't know if that's a word, but it sure did sound cool) for me either? ------------- A-5 w/ APE E-Grip, Polished Internals, 12" Lapco Bigshot, GTA X Chamber, Dead On RVA, Trinity Spring Kit, Smart Parts Inline On/Off, Smart Parts Anti-Siphons |

ah. thats why the old 98's are sooo light. Always thought my A-5 was steel cause of the weight differance between the two. Well, now I know that the A-5 IS aluminum.

just imagine two 2x2x2 aluminum cubes. the low grade cube wheighs as much as a paintball (perfectly realistic) but is easily damaged. the other,is 5-7 pounds and it very damage resistaint. a 2x2x2 steel cube would be about 10lb. |

not true, the low grade stuff wheights MORE than the high grade stuff and is less damage resistant. ------------- Tippmann Chameleon M98 Upgrades: 14in. Teardrop Barrel GTA Expansion Chamber 20oz.
