okay so i have a spyder pilot acs and i really like it.. i want a gun a little bit more acurate for woodsball and far range shooting.. my friend told me he would sell my this tippman 98 custom for $50. It is missing the barrel and feedkneck.. is this a good price, keep in mind i have to buy those parts and can buy a new one for 120-140

And that gun is not a custom 98,but just a 98.So thats mean less upgradable gun.

yeah, that's not a 98 custom, just a model 98. you can find those for cheaper than that. plus it's much less upgradeable -

if i was you i'd stick with the spyder, then save for a 98custom or Custom Pro, if you need something simple for woods.

^i agree, m98s r nowhere near as good as the customs, if youre looking for more accuracy then get a better barrel for your gun, as for "far range shooting" different guns will not change it, just the barrels. if you really wanna buy a new gun, get the new 98c's.

I think you should stik wit your Spyder and save up for a Custom Pro or if u get like $250 i would get an A5 but dats if u got the money...I have myself a Custom 98 n i love it for woodsball...My advice to you is get whatever fits your interest and is comfortable with you
