If it's got gills, it's an old Model 98. You'd need to do some machining to get an R/T to fit, I think, but there used to be E-Bolt kits made by Psychoballistics that fit them. I've got one. Fun gun. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

Offer $75. Go up to $100 if he presses.

If its only been used once, it has an immeasurable amount of life left in it. $75 to start with is a good offer, since its one of the older models, and the upgrades for it are a little fewer.

Just as a comparison, you can usually find old style 98's on PBN for around $50-$60. I also know of a place that sells well used ones for about $45 a clip including shipping. New, a flatline will cost you anywhere from $45-$100 depending on the deal you find. $75 for the package is pretty fair considering the FL is missing the adaptor. You may be able to call Tippmann for the adaptor or check http://www.tippmannparts.com - www.tippmannparts.com ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |
