Don't forget the reaction trigger thing that hooks up to your Co2...

i want to gain accuracy with my upgraded barrell too. anyone have any gear for sale?

The only thing worth doing to an M98 is putting a bottomline system on it and a compression chamber for more consistancy between shots... that alone is a lot of money to put into an entry level gun. You have to decide when it just makes more sense to get a better gun.

Best way to get that is make sure you get the right balls for your barrel, just don't get any old balls find out the size of your barrel most common are medium bore .68 .69

i have some stuff i need to sell. but its not for a tippmann 98 tho.

Anyone want an Automag?

 

[SidewaysN2second]

damn, but i just bought the gun, i cant buy another, can anyone reccommend some upgrades?

Get a new barrel first. Stock sucks.

 

[SidewaysN2second]

ok, what type of barrel?

Like I said... the best thing you can possibly do for that gun is put a FLATLINE system on it. Get a better barrel. Flatline. The diagram sucks... but it'll make the gun equal to a 68 Carbine with a good expansion chamber.

Tippmann makes incredible guns, but the problem with them is that almost all the manufactured upgrades are propritary...made in house. Unlike Spyders/Piranha and many other similar guns that are fairly interchange.

Get a new barrel first. Stock sucks.

In 99% of the cases yes, but Tippmann makes a good stock barrel. The 8.5 that came on my .68 Carbine/Prolite was very accurate.

Dye Stainless Steel Very accurate but heavy, might want to go with an Aluminum or if you have money get the Boomstick mix of stainless steel & aluminum.

You live on Hawaii, if you do, we go play some paintball

 

[SidewaysN2second]

ok, so its down to the boomstick or the flatline, the flatline seems like a better choice as it give me an extra 100 feet or so of range, but is it accurate? also, what advantage does the boomstick give me? Im starting to lean towards the flatline, plus it looks cool

 

[SidewaysN2second]

anyone?

I don't play paintball so I don't really know..

but regarding the Flatline mod

wouldn't that be kinda like cheating to have a gun that shoots twice as far as a normal one ?

 

[svtour]

do not get the flatline. the added distance is not worth it because the paintball gets really slow. Both of my friends had it, then got rid of it because you can catch the pb because it slows down. what kind of paint do u normally use? because there is no point in spending alot of money on a boomstick (which is small bore isnt it?) if you shoot larger bore paint

 

[svtour]

also, if the flatline was that good, everyone in tourneys would use it

 

[svtour]

and jt makes really good masks. go with a spectra/flex 7, and make sure u get a thermal lense because u cant hit what u dont see

Drop forward, expansion chamber, Lapco Bigshot barrel, double trigger, dye stickies...
