Another 98 Project

As some of you may have seen I just finished up a SMG type 98. I enjoyed the whole process so much I decided to start a new project. I've already tinkered with it some but not a whole lot. I got a good deal on a bossman mag kit, and that is what sparked my idea.

I had another 98 laying around so I figured I'd do something with it. I am going to be transferring to the University of Missouri soon so this is gonna have to be a quick one.

At first I was going to go with an M4 look but I couldn't find a cheap barrel and shroud fast enough. I just bought a quick thread flatline off eBay. The only reason I bought it was for the top rail but since I am on a time crunch I decided to change my original plans.

So instead of going for a M4/Milsim look, I'll be going towards more of a rifle set up. I already milled off the 98 Custom lettering and added a few attachment I had left over from previous 98s over the years. My plans are to chop the mag into a much shorter version, much like a regular old rifle would have, and with the flatline on there I think it will look pretty good.

Other than that I am not sure what I could do or what would look good. I've thought about mounting a bipod but, like I've said before, I'm about to be moving out. Unless I can find one for a really good price, I don't think I'll be willing to spend the cash to get one. So any suggestions or advice is very welcome.

Here's what it looks like so far..

I have a quick thread flatline on my 98, and i think you might not be able to get a bipod on it although i will say if you can get one on it will be a massive boost to the accuracy with the flatline. A solid stock in place of the wire looks really good as well.

Re: Another 98 Project

Maybe put a Rail on top or Flatten out the top so a rail could be added. Mill down the rear sight a bit so its all nice and even. :-p kinda need to flatline on to get a better Idea with how "even" they would be. Ive got a UTG Bi-Pod but Im trying to sell it with this scope I have and am not really looking to part out atm. Looks good so far tho *thumbs up*

Re: Another 98 Project

Yes this is the one for sale. I did finish it to a point. I wanted to do a few more things to it but classes started way too soon so I wanted getting rid of all the projects I had going except my Phenom I picked up not to long ago.

Here is what the 98 looks like now though. It is sitting in my closet waiting for a new owner.



I got the flatline on there and added a bossman mag kit as well as a few other peices for looks.
