| Review: |
Purchased the new 98 Custom Platinum as a primary marker for my girlfriend, and as a secondary for myself.
The Good:
Ready to upgrade with air powered accessories
Rail System for mil-sim upgrades.
ACT system
Sling loop built into the end cap
Front sight spring is securely in place and no longer flies out
The ASA no longer needs loosening before disassembling the receiver
The Bad:
Stock barrel
The Ugly:
Nothing really, pretty good. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
A great start-up to moderate experience marker. It also should revitalize the market for 98 custom upgrades and mods for those who just wont shell out the cash for a new A-5 or X7...like myself HA!
If only Tippmann would include a decent stock barrel, but then I guess they wouldn't be able to sell their 98 Custom PRO editions... |
