Well, it's actually kind of hard to find a site that still sells 98 Customs without a big package. But then, I haven't really looked that much. And does it cost that much more? I thought they were basically the same price.

I've been playing with a generic brand gun, and it was working pretty good until this last year. So I've decided I am going to buy a Tippmann 98 Custom. Well, then the ACT tech came out, and I had some questions about it. First, does it tend to fowl up? I mean, getting two bolts to work in just the right way like that is kind of tricky, so do things go wrong with the action sometimes? And Second, does it make it a lot harder to disassemble? I've heard 98s were tricky enough as it was, but messing with two bolts and half a dozen springs might end up being a nightmare. And finally, would you personally prefere the ACT, or would you just go with the original action? Thanks for any help, I just don't want to put out over $100 and have a bunch of tech problems.

I just bought a custom pro and have had no issues with it. It's easy to take apart and reassemble. Really there isn't that many pieces to it. I haven't had any problems with my bolt either. Remember, it's a tippmann. They have never produced a stock gun out of the box  that has issues or is finnecky. Buy a gun with the ACT and don't worry about it.
