Hi Everybody.

Ive been lurking about for a few months when i decided to resurrect my 8 yr old 98 Custom. I posted a few threads asking about this and that modification and generally got great help from everybody.

Here is my baby:











Now Ive done some pretty standard modifications to it. Nothing really new or surprizing.

Things I added:

Apex Barrel
Picatinny Rails
Platinum Toprail
RocketCock
Red Dot Sight
.45 Rd Hopper (x4)
Collapsible stock
Bipod

Things to Come:

Response Trigger (Should get here tomorow)
New powertube ( my 98 is old enough to need a new one free from tippann to get the RT to work)
Front Sling adaptor
Proto Primo Hopper (if my 45 rd ones feed badly with the RT)
Sling

Things Modified:

Polished internals
Removed front grip, added rails
added a bolt to the rocketcock since its hard to pull back through the loop

So far its shot ok. the balls ive been using are crap so its really all over the place, though I had a good bag of balls which shot great.

Im reasonably disappointed in the Apex since i dont see that much of an improvement.

I left the bottom rail extended since I liked the look. The original plan was to add an angled foregrip from Magpul , but liked how it looked as is.


The bipod is less for sniping and more for not having my gun laying about when I put it down. Its like having a stand on your motorcycle.

Im generally not a great fan of the red dot, but the ironsights on the gun became useless so red dot it was.

Anyways tell me what you think, and thanks for looking!

Very nice, Looks good for CQC and ranged shots. Really digging the side rail. How you get it on there?

I noticed that the words tippmann 98 were perfectly flat and exposed aluminum so I took off the coating on the rail and used metal epoxy. Its strong enough for a flashlight and such at least.

Great looking 98c, Cielmerlion! I really like the compactness of it. Have some green.

Thanks Midnight!

Also, are there any guides anywhere for camo? i have basically zero experience on this front, but i used some sharpie paint pens to color in the caps and thought it might be good for doing camo.

very nice cielmerlion
