Upgraded Tippmann 98
Here are some pix and movies of the Tippmann 98 I upgraded.
It has:
Stock bolt, (The Pro Team and the Starr Fires break!!!)
Proline Power Feed, (modified so that it works!!),
Air America Vigilante regulator, set at 350 psi for 285 fps,
Tippmann Expansion chamber adapter,
16" Dye Ironman Boomstick,
Hogue Grips,
Lapco Stainless Steel Cocking Arm,
12 volt revolution hopper,
Red VL-Bow,
Lapco rear velocity adjuster,
Psycho Ballistics Double trigger.
Remote adapter on bottom feed.
Homemade Double Trigger Guard
Shortened and lightened trigger
I micro-honed the barrel to decrease friction and increase ball spin.
I also polished the interior and components for minimum friction,
which makes it much more efficient and ported out the
gills. You can watch the balls feed as you shoot it and it reduces blowback into the hopper.
I can get between 12 and 14 shots per second with
this at 285 fps. This is a real sweet shooter and is
very deadly to the competition.
Who says you can't trick out a 98??
Let me know if you have any questions. Danvoils@indy.net
If you want to see the how-to's for the gills and the trigger guard, as well as a ton of other information, got to Jom's
page at www.m98center.com
Here are some MPG's I made of it firing.
With the Dye Boomstick barrel.
With my son's Taso Stone Cold II barrel.
