I have used tippman stock, tl plus stock, spyder one stock, dye boomstick
Marker Setup:
I have a tippman 98
double trigger converter kit
Custom Products drop forward
Armson Stealth 16in
Sure Shot Paintball Sight
Other than that no internal changes besides trigger, just a few facelifts for the ol' ippman
Recommended Paintballs:
nel splat is fitted really nicely and they are cheap and sold almost anywhere, if u want to spend more money than marbilizers work alright but not as well as nel splat for me, stay away from power ball and of course u know what i am going to say next thats right the peice of crap Brass Eagle aka BE
Strengths:
It looks sweet and has a clean look to it, about as accurate as a tippman can get with Co2, shoots them straight but with the velocity too high the porting spins the balls out so stay around 280-330 and it will shoot far and dead on, easy to clean and doesnt break balls to often
Weaknesses:
it unscrews alot on a tippman, it scratches easy, it can be pricey, the 16in is too long for speedball if your gettin it on a 98, go with a 13in it does the same job just less hassle
Conclusion:
this is the barrel to buy becuase it is cheap and quiet, shoots straight and works well with alot of paint, but if u have the money to blow than get a dye boomstick at least for a tipp or a spyder
