My tippmanns. Bad pics. Posting just for the hell of it.  From left to right. Top to bottom. Scrap receivers. Used for ideas or just testing things. Random spray paint. Old rental gun. First 98C I owned. Has a fair amount of milling. Has a few defects that will be repaired soon. Going to give it to my friend. Old set of 98 receivers. Used to be a friends gun. Milling out the internals for ebolt. Put some alumaloy in them and blistered the paint. Not sure what I am going to do it with. CF'd set of receivers. Completely stock and in perfect condition. Was going to be for 'Trix rebuild. Not sure what will happen to them. TE 98. Camo'd on the ouside. Milling for eyes as we speak. Should be done soon. Gripless 98. Old rental gun. Looking to put on a Timmy or a Shocker frame. Long way to go. Sear tripper 98. LPK. WAS board. Back up when the ebolts go down. Original Matrix'd 98. Still thinking on how to fix it up. Bought a new Matrix board for it. New noid is on the way. Open to ideas on how to reassemble the grip frame. ------------- PlentifulBalls "It's cool, I'll be dead before I'm not pretty."

I started with one and then all of the sudden I have 8. It's weird really. Two of them don't really count. The scrap one isn't worth anything but scrap and the other one is going to a friend. Down to only 6 98s before to long.

Nice collection. Sounds like there is a lot of potential lying there. Was that PCF's Matrix'd 98c for a while? ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

You have have obviously never heard of Shorty's Law, which states that anyone who owns more than 10 guns will never be able to keep more than one in working order at any time except when it is lent to someone other than the owner in which case it will work flawlessly until the owner touches it again. ------------- 98CP ACT R/T J&J Ceramic 14" Egg II w Z-Board GTA Inline X-Chamber NCStar Red-Dot Pen Spring Mod Trigger Stops Polished Internals Dye Sticky Grip 20oz Co2 w On/Off Next Up: Spimmy |

Too true. I actually started working on them again. I am going to get rid of some of the shells. I don't need all the ones I have so I might as well make some money off of them.

I only have one, but one of my friends used to have 8 until he totaled three of them by dropping them into a river. ------------- Tippmanns are cool like Dye's are expensive, and JT Protiums are great markers too! |

I 98 will still work even if you drop it in a river.

I plan on having a total of 4 98's when I've got more cash. Are you trying to be next Natural_Newbie? If so, that's cool, we don't mind especially if you report on your successes (and even failed modifications). The more people try to modify and do new things to their markers the more we learn. I honestly love tinkering around with this stuff too. Eventually I will start writing my own mods and reports on which things or which setups are better what some setup allow improve etc. I'll post vids up on performance etc. But that will be in a good while from now. I'll have to earn a little more respect here before people will even want to listen to any advice I have to say. Personal rant/ BTW I've wanted to talk to you about ebolts cause you seem to know sooo much about them. Could you add me on msn? My msn email is mailto:phil_stl@hotmail.com - phil_stl@hotmail.com Anyway, once again that is pretty awesome set of 98's! |

I meant for it to be taken as a complement. There are only a few people I know from the Internet that I think have lots paintball smarts. Natural_Newbie, Bruce A. Frank, and karll. All three of you know a lot about the ebolt. Natural_Newbie invented incredible plans and mods for many cool things on the 98. Bruce seems to have an abundance of knowledge about everything, going from electronic parts and elements to stabalization theories, lots about internals too. You seem to like another ebolt pro and continue reporting about how your mods (from Natural_N) are going and you are seeing if there are any ways you can improve things (didn't you make a new better ebolt rod?) and you report back and let us know about this stuff. As you can see I'm really interested in the ebolt and respect those that know more than I, cause I'm obviously still learning. |

Dude, you know NN!?!?!?!?!?!? Anyhow, I agree with your choice of three people, but seriously, everyone knows what their doing to some extent. -------------

As for the NN rod. I turned down the plunger to allow smoother operation and a better seal on the inside of the ram housing. I might need to take down the shaft portion of it to accomplish the ramcap I want to make (try to use the same idea NN accomplished.)

take it to a welding or maching shop they could propbally fix it up pretty good by throwing some aluminum plates and welding them on there, then milling it back to the original design. only problem is it would be cheaper to sell it for scrap and start over on one of the other shells. -------------

I have already started patching the grip frames with jb weld and sheetmetal (sounds trashy, but it works.) The problem with your idea is that welds won't hold up on 98s becuase the metal is too poor of quality. Also, if I threw away the receivers I would probably be committing a sin against the Tippmann community.

I don't really know NN I've posted in threads before that he had posted in. He's a smart guy. I've never spoken to him personnally though like PM'd him or anything. Not everyone knows what they are doing. I'd say like 90% of my last 400 -500 posts I've been helping people on here that didn't know what the heck they were talking about or needed an intelligent opinion. Most noobs know basically nothing. I read and read and read some more to know what I know now and as I said I'm still learing. I've got mainly everything about tippmanns and all their products under my belt except for the E-grip and the E-bolt ($1500 on my gun). Other than that I'm very very knowledgeble about the Super RT, I know lots about internals, I know many things about improving and making the gun faster/better. But the thought that everyone knows something about paintball to some extent is well in my opinion : flawed (at least slightly). But don't get me wrong I'm here to help people and I like doing that, (I also do get abused here pretty often so I try to keep my mouth shut now around jerks and ignore them). But ya helping others is like giving back to those that helped me in the past and people like NN, Bruce, and karll are ideal tippmann owners in my books. Anyway Karll you are going to have to teach me a few things about the ebolt in the future like you did with carl_the_sniper. |

Almost all of them except for the scrap set of receivers. I have given some away over the years.

Hey Karll, could you pm me on model98.org as SRT-4 or talk to me on AIM as chim5517? I have big plans for my project and it needs some advice. Anyways this post would be useless unless I added pics of my recievers. No, there are not any inperfections my scanner is just dumb. The finish is black powdercoat.

im pretty sure you can resurect a tippmann no matter what has gone wrong with it... the 98 is pretty much indestructible, reliable to a point much like an ak47... why do you thinks fields use them as rentals... they can take years of abuse from countless noobs and still only require minimal maintaince... ------------- 98CP ACT R/T J&J Ceramic 14" Egg II w Z-Board GTA Inline X-Chamber NCStar Red-Dot Pen Spring Mod Trigger Stops Polished Internals Dye Sticky Grip 20oz Co2 w On/Off Next Up: Spimmy |
