Exclamation Fireguy121's Frankintippmann!

OK ALL......Here it is for the masses.......Please be gental.......I put alot of elbow grease into her and I hope you like it.







Pictures of my 98 platinum are coming soon but what we have here is

Original Model 98 (I have had it for about 10 years)
Hundreds of hours of custom hand milling
TONS more sanding and polishing
Polished internals
Red aluminum Powertube
Delrin Starfire venturi bolt
Mad dog spring kit (blue spring {highest chrono 360fps})
Rear Cocking RVA
BSA 7 power scope (holds top of marker together)
Pen spring trigger mod
Macro line kit
Response trigger (not currently installed) (milled the internals myself)
Chopped and polished stock fluted barrel
Taso Winforce 12inch ceramic barrel
.......and a partridge in a pear tree!!!!!!!

Hope you all like it cause it took me a long time.......and it is still not quite done. I am working on a alternate loading system that will sit flush to the side of the marker because I'm not feelin a huge hopper on my new pistol sized 98.

Cheers!

Rob

Re: Fireguy121's Frankintippmann!

So are the red/black things in the ribs the bolt/powertube? I like it, a lil shiny for my taste.. but wicked nevertheless... theres something about labor that makes things more beautiful.

Re: Fireguy121's Frankintippmann!

I don't know alot about the 98 and am thinking about getting one for a backup. Did you have to mill off the front grip area? There is one on ebay now, an original Model 98, that I am thinking about bidding on. I would like to do something to it like you did. Thanks

And by the way, great looking gun!
