Magpul AFG. I realllllllly want to try one on a rifle. You're going to have to order from a firearms related website probably, as most paintball stores probably wont carry them. I reccomend uscav.com -------------

Picatinny rails are called.... picatinny rails.
Youre going to need a foregrip to mount that on. I think the 98 is too short to use the AFG. -------------

Well... no.
By foregrip, I mean something like this:
 See the front vertical grip? Thats where the AFG goes. You need a shroud with picatinny rails to bolt it on.
The AFG is really supposed to be used on a long, rifle like weapon. Not a small paintball marker. I always reccomend the 98 over the Alpha Black or Project salvo, but you might want to look at those. I dont like the look of them but theyre more suited to an AFG -------------

3. Model 98. Mint condition.
4. 68 Automag.
5. A stock A5 I got for free.
6. Tippmann Pro/Carbine I traded a bike frame for.
7. Tippmann Factory F/A
8. beat up SL 68II
9. Almost unused original SL68II
10. Tippmann X7 Phenom
11. PMI/Sheridan 68 Magnum. Brass pumpgun made in 1987 I think.
12. Crosman 3357. 50 Caliber revolver made around the same time(accually got two).

Alot of them I bought used at a great price. For a few years I would buy a junky marker every 6 months for around $50 and tinker with it. -------------
