| I will be getting a 98 Custom from a friend of mine... I kind of told him I needed it asap and I'd offer him 200 dollars.... I really don't need it asap due to that I already have an A-5. I just said that so he would sell it to me at a low price... It has an Ebolt on it with some expansion chamber, a quiet riot barrel and some drop... I'm gonna test it out sometime to make sure I like it... But any suggestions on what to do with it after I get it?... I'm sticking with CO2 so you know ahead of time... |

Good price. At first I thought it was stock but then you said what it had. Well a hopper first of all. -------------

ya you should get a hopper when/if you get it. And that price sounds just about right...

So... it's an evolution?? I'd say it's a great deal if it comes with the e-hopper as well.  |

It already has an Ebolt...I'd say maybe a new barrel although I haven't heard much on that one and it might be good. |

sounds like a great set-up to go scenario balling with , how about going for a mil-sim look ? You know , something along the lines of Desertwookies work ? It sounds like its going to be a back-up marker , dress it out a little ! ------------- SL68-II , micro honed and polished .688" bore . Tuff Enuf . Widowmaker , under construction |

Do some milling/painting. I'd say loose the x-chamber and pick up a Palmers male. Then look into a LAPCO Bigshot. And finally, I'd say a BSI stick trigger. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

| I plan on going for a speedball look... Since I already have an A-5 upped for woodsball... I mean I don't play speedball but I figure it'll be a good back-up. With them thinking I'm going out with my A-5 and I start ripping balls and they don't know whats coming.... My other friend has a big shot I'll probably buy off of him... |

Sice your sticking with CO2 I'd get a remote and a Palmers Stabilizer. This will make the CO2 much more stable and greatly increase your accuracy. ------------- I've never seen anyone own the woods because of what marker they use. |

CO2 will kill your e-bolt solenoid. You need HPA ------------- http://tbish.webs.com/tippy.html - My E-Bolted 98 |

You don't want the liquid co2 getting in the solenoid and breaking it. I had
the same problem after I got my e-bolt off ebay. ------------- http://tbish.webs.com/tippy.html - My E-Bolted 98 |

of you have lpk and another regulator you will be fine with using c02 ------------- what? |

get a remote and a pack to put your co2 tank vertical. then you will virtually get no liquid co2 in your gun. plus the expansion chamber already on it. ------------- http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5504952">

I doubt he has an e-bolt with an expansion chamber.... It's definitely a low pressure regulator... or maybe he just has no clue what he's doing.

Unless its a really good expansion I dunno if I would trust CO2 with the E-bolt. Maybe upgrade that to a palmers or if you have the cash go HPA.
