I've always used 98 customs, as I love the simplicity of Tippmann's, but have found myself wanting something a bit more authentic looking. I was going to mod my current 98c, but then I got to looking at the salvos and realized it was pretty much the exact look I was going for. Then one of the managers a my work mentioned he was selling his, it has been played eight times, including once by myself, and is in like new condition except that the U.S. Army sticker is peeling. The plan is to paint it OD green, add a foregrip with a built in bipod, e-grip with an ape board, an alpha black stock, and possibly a red dot sight. That's the plan anyways, we'll see what actually happens.

What it looks like now:


Kind of the look I'm going for:

Thanks, not sure how I missed yours. I forgot to mention I want to get either a 14" J&J ceramic barrel, or an apex 2. But I'm not sure what barrel would be best with it, or how long, I want it sitting as close to the shroud as possible.

where can i find that black gas line cover? google isnt helping..

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's just wire loom cover that you can get at a local auto parts store, or walmart.

Apex 2 will fit with some modding you can make the shroud hug the barrel/body to make the apex look very clean and supressor like. Ill try to find a pic of my old salvo

Here is one before i got the apex2 barrel

I'm thinking you're right on that one.



Here is mine with the 18" Apex2, you can put a 16" on there but you need to do a little mod to give yourself the little extra room to have it sit nice and snug.

I had the 16 and cut my shroud to fit up against the body/apex tip snug.....it looked damn clean

Until Christmas comes I am only doing DIY stuff to the marker as paintball stuff makes up a good portion of my list. So going with that tonight I pulled the U.S. Army and Project Salvo stickers, and put heat shrink over the air line as it was the only silver bit left on the exterior of the marker. Next up is filling the depressions left and paint.

I only got one picture of this since it's not too exciting:
