This topic may have been posted before, but i tried a bunch of different search options to find what i want to know, but couldnt find any. Anyways this is what i want to know and if anyone can help, thanks alot in advance. Im most likely going to ask "noobish" stuff, for im a bit new to paintball. Currently I own a 98c. I am planning on buying a ABT with E-grip. I was going to get a x7 offset hopper (if theres one better please tell), a 16" barrel (im not sure what barrel though. Please inform me on your ideas of which is best. Also, i want the shroud to be able to attach to it). Someone told me R.I.S 16" barrel is good, but I dont know what type of barrel that is or anything. I was also planning on getting a red dot sight (but i heard you have to drill a hole in it? How does that work? Is it easy to do, and if you mess up, is it over? Also, what about railings. I thought thats what they were for). If I had left over money, i was planning on buying a tactical flashlight. How would you attatch that? Would you need to drill a hole, or would you jsut be able to use a railing? If you can anwser, all, or even jsut one of them throughly, That'd be greatly appreciated. I would also prefer if you did not post me links as to find information. Just give me a DIRECT LINK, or just write it out. And to go on with the title of the topic, what gun do you think is best without any customizations or mods, and what one is best with customization and mods? Or anything along the lines. Thank you once again in advance if you are able, or wanting to help me. |

there isn't just a best gun that is superior to all others. your gun will be what you make it. i 98c is a great gun, and if you havn't seen techietaichi's 98 then you should find a picture of two of it. there isn't another like his. you could do something like that with your 98 and have it become an awesome gun that you made. 98's are great guns to begin with. or you could get a ABT that already has looks built into it. if your looking to add many upgrades to your gun in the future i would keep with your 98 or get an a-5, because both guns are very upgradeable. your best bet though i think would to stay with your 98 and upgrade it, because it has more potential to be a better gun than a ABT IMO. hope i could help |

If your going to get the ABT egripped I suggets that you call the retailer and ask if they can order you the Alpha Black cyclone that's should be out now or ready to hit the shelves.
As for rails on the handguard. Your options are prety much limited to the Trinity RIS handguard and "aim point" what they call their front sight post. Opsgear and Special Ops sell similar handguards but way overpriced without the front sight post. For the carry handle Red dot they do sell some carry handle rails and the term used for scopes with built in carry handle mounts is "delta mount" the mod is easy get your carry handle rail and see where it sits best on the handle. then use a common power drill and the bit that most closely looks like the sight rail mount bolt and drill down. once you drill through then just mount the carry handle rail.  -------------

I am going to agree with you for the most part. On the rails though there is one more option. Put your own on. There are a few posts on here where people have done that and quite easily at that. Thealpha is a great gun for the money though. if you want the milsim look and dont want to spend as much it is def the path to go. The A5, 98, and x7 are great guns but you have to pay alot more to get that look. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">
