It all started with a 98 custom 3 years ago, but as we all know, it's only a matter of time before we start messing around with it. I'm no different:


most of the specs. are in my signature. the longer barrel is a J&J Ceramic. the shorter one is a hacked down stock barrel, it measures around 3.5''-4'' long (its mainly just for the noise, i don't use it too much in games). I also use a flatline from time to time, but i've been favoring my J&J as of late.  
Everyone tells me to get HPA, but it's not easily accessible right now, and I don't wanna buy pair of 68/45k's, and a Palmer's reg, and then not be able to fill the tanks. CO2 works fine for me right now anyhow.

ratings/comments are welcome. thanks for looking!

98 Custom. R/T, Cyclone, x-chamber, polished internals, milled, painted, etc.
nothing special, but gets the job done.

Not to be mean, but that is a pretty ghetto paintjob. Also do you play at a field? I was just wondering because my field wouldn't let my friend use his gun because he had no trigger guard.

nice job, but redo the paint.  milling looks good.

yeah, i'm getting a new one this week. i'm not sure exactly how i lost it, but i did....

edit: about the paint, it might just be the crappiness of my camera, or it could be the paint job itself. i used to have it solid green, and i think it looked like crap, so i changed it...idk, i may try to re-paint it again.

any suggestions for color?

are there any "flat" clear coats? the reason why i used a clear coat is because otherwise I end up with all kinds of scratches in the paint after a year or so, because i bump against trees/shrubs/etc.

Just get a clear coat that isnt marked as GLOSSY really.

I agree, the paint job is fugly, but easy to redo.

Get a flat green, olive drab. I have it on my 98, but I cant find a pic.
