Hi there..

Im playing woodsball for fun, and i want to make my marker look like a real gun now, without putting new barrel and stuff lige that on.

So, im buying a http://www.opsgear.com/Six-Position-Stock-for-Tippmann-Model-98-p/tap-stk800102.htm - M4 stock , handguard, http://www.usmilitarygear.com/proddetail.php?prod=USMGC98M16 - Bossman mag kit , http://www.opsgear.com/Paintball-Barrel-M4-Front-Sight-Post-p/tts-front-sight-m4.htm - front sight , and some kind of red dot sight.

I Know that the M4 Stock and Mag Kit fits, but im not sure about the handguard. I found http://www.opsgear.com/Paintball-Barrel-M4-Picatinny-Hand-Guard-p/og-m4-shroud-7in.htm - this , but does this fit with my standart barrel? Or do i have to bye some more?

 

And something els, what red dot do you guys recomend? I have looked at http://www.opsgear.com/ACOG-Style-Red-Green-Dot-Sight-p/si-rtr30t.htm - this , but what more du i need?

Hope anyone can help me. I have to be sure what stuff i have to buy because im living in Denmark and thats a long way to send it back if it dosent fit.

When you say you dont want to change your barrel are you still using your stock barrel? If so I would recommend buying a better barrel before buying any of that other stuff.

Yes, i have to use the barrel that came with the marker when i bought it. The field owner says that we have to play with standart 98C.

But i dont know how that handguard work? And does the standart barrel fit in it?

I am not sure how those hand gaurds work, sorry. Did you hear the feild owner actualy say that you couldn't have an upgraded barrel or did you just hear him say you had to have a standard 98 custom. Does anyone else at the feild have upgraded barrels for their markers?

No, we have to play with it like it is, so everybody have the same gun. So its fair for everybody.

Ok everyone is using an 98C and he wants everyone to have the same marker. Are you sure he will let you play with these other upgrades on your 98C? And with thta handgrip it says it is 7 inches and the 98 stock barrel is 8.5 inches so it should fit, but because the stock barrel has that wider part at the end I am not sure. You could measure and see how long the thinner part of the barrel is and see if it is 7 inches. If so I beleive it should fit.

I'm thinking it must be a quite small local feild without much competition or else he wouldn't be able to make rules like that.

Heh no, it not big.. Its my friend who owns the field, and yes, he says that i can do everything, just not fixing on the performance of the gun.

Yes, the handguard fits in the length, but i dont know how it have to be mountet. Maybe the barrel can go all the way through, only the screwing thread goes through the last hole?

Well it doesn't attach to your marker anywhere so I assume it has screws that you tighten on it and you would just tighten it onto your barrel.

Ah yes maybe.. You say that it gets some small screws drilled against the barrel and hold on bye that?

Ya I think something like that. I know why I put a shroud on my 98C it could actually be split into 2 halves and when you placed your barrel in the right on the one half you put the other half on and screw it together and the shroud halves kinda tighten onto the barrel.

So, does he tell everyone they have to buy 98 Customs?

agreed or break the rules a little.  Throw a 8" barrel on there with the handguard and he will never know.

Or double tap the guy in the nads a couple of times and blame it on the poor quality barrel and suggest he let everyone upgrade. Should be easy as he must have the worlds biggest set to tell people what they can and can't play with.

Or tell us where this field is, so some of us can come there with out highly upgraded markers and let him tell us that we can't play.  Then we'll take care of bonus balling him. (pun intended)
