I am/was a Model 98 owner. I converted it to my sniper gun when I bought my A-5. My goal is to get upgrades that matter. This gun is under construction. I've got an Empire barrel system coming soon to add to it. This is it so far. By the way, that barrel is the stock barrel cut down. You wouldn't believe how accurate it is. It's just about as accurate as my 14" Teardrop, but it's really loud. That's actually fun during an ambush! Let me know your thoughts on practical upgrades vs. cosmetic...

not bad, but i'm not a fan of the stock or the sight rail. Lose the front grip if you keep the ex-chamber, it'll look much cleaner and is more comfortable in my oppinion. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |

Would you move it forward or keep it where it is? ------------- I'd rather be playing paintball than sitting here talking about it.

I have an E-grip on it. Really, with a double trigger, the egrip rocks even in semi-fire. I was really impressed. ------------- I'd rather be playing paintball than sitting here talking about it.

I know what you're saying. It gets cold with a high rate of fire. ------------- I'd rather be playing paintball than sitting here talking about it.

Switch to HPA If you dont want to get a board upgrade at least get a QEV then you can max the ROF on the stock chip -------------

Not to shabby. The barrel kit will help matters. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |
