Will do. I also got a container full of parts that I still need to go through. He said he thought he remembered having two guns in his storage unit, and judging by what I’ve found so far I’d say there should be at least one another somewhere. I took this one apart and cleaned out all the dirt and grime, then I used steelwhool to clean all that overspray out like you did. I’m gonna take my new apart and do the same one the new internals I ordered for it show up.

I thought I heard Tippmann got their act together and stopped over-spraying the internals with the newer guns so if you don't have it - the gun should be "newer"......or someone like you or me just cleaned it

Mine is older than yours for sure. My body is two pcs yours look to have 3 or 4pc body's I think.?. All I know is that if I take mine apart for cleaning you had better be ready to catch springs when they shoot all over the place lol

That one is a three piece and had the overspray all in it, but not has bad has yours did lol.

I have not taken the new one I bought apart yet, but it’s probably a 3 piece too.

That one I have blown apart didn’t shoot springs out at me, but you had already warned me so I went slow pulling it apart

Also had my other pair of pants show up. These are way better then the first pair I ordered and the camo pattern actually matches.

Took my 98 apart and found some overspray, but not to much.

I went ahead and used some 0000 steelwool to clean it up and smooth out some of the imperfections I assume are from the casting process.

While I had it blown apart I went ahead and replaced the bolt with this one from Killhouse. It should be more efficient since it has an internal o-ring to cut down on air waste that the stock one does not.

I tore down the one I picked up in that tote full of stuff again and replaced the old worn bolt with my stock one, then I oiled everything and reassembled it. I went ahead and put on all the add on stuff that was in the tote just to see what it looked like on. Think I’ll leave it like this. Also found out (during rebuild) that this one is a ACT version, which means that I got a way better deal then I thought originally.

that's pretty darn cool. Mine could use some ATC for sure.....along with better trigger finger discipline. starting to think thats why I was chopping so much paint (user error - trying to shoot too fast for the gun).

That ain’t no lie! lol

Let me know how that new bolt works out. I wonder if it will quiet down? My 98 is freaking loud. More than 1 shot and everyone knows where I'm at. I pout in a new bolt but it wasn't upgraded like that, just new and not worn down like my old one.


Just saw this on fakebopok at a semi local field. Might go out this year. Last year they played in snow and I think that would be cool.

The ported 16” J&J ceramic coated barrel made it way more quiet. I have my kids this weekend and it’s suppose to warm up to low 70’s so I’ll do a comparison with stock barrel/ without. I’ll also test out that HK paint.

Playing in the snow would be pretty badass, but it takes a low temp paint.

That field makes us use their paint. Some years that's been ok for the summer games and some it has sucked ~ every year it's been pretty pricey. I had my hopper checked twice last July so not worth trying to sneak in better cheaper stuff to me, but I'm sure some guys do.

$75 per case for that March/winter event makes my rear pucker, but all in all $115 for a full day of play isn't that bad (it's $40 for entry to event). Ive never shot more than a case in a day so tack in about $30 in gas/tolls to the $115 and that's not that bad. If I take my nephews that cost gets quadrupled easily though lol

So you mean if you use a regular paintball in low temps it just becomes a marble and hurts like fuck when you get hit by one? More reason not to get hit. :D

Yeah that’s not to bad really, all things considered. That’s why I don’t care about running throa case or two a month here at home. It’s a hell of a lot cheaper then taking them all somewhere and hopefully having a good time. This is a guaranteed one lol

I just brought home a total of 12 plastic 55gal drums. Going to finish setting them up in conjunction with the trees and old barn etc I got out here. I’ll have a halfass decent field in the backyard at least. I just wish I had more trees and less open pasture.

This dudes in New Zealand, but he makes some pretty cool stuff. He has a paintball drum mod for a Crosman 357 BB gun that mimics the old original .50cal they made in the mid-80’s
