Take out the stock and Flatline barrel and replace them with the Tippmann vertical adapter, ACI Six Stage Expansion Chamber, additional hoses, and either a Lapco Autospirit or Bigshot, depending on what size paint you shoot most often.

Nothing can be changed since I already bought the set :D
The flatline isn't better than the bigshot? I thought it was the best choice for the M98 since it has the best range and great accuracy.

There is a lot of controversy over the flatline's distance versus accuracy. Personally, I would have gotten the Bigshot. You might want to get a regulator or x-chamber also.

How much did you pay? I hope no more than 400.00 Get a bigger CO2 tank (like a 24oz)and go remote. Also get a 6 stage expansion chamber or a 4 stage if you have to. Get a venturi bolt and custom hammer. See if the flatline barrel works for you but it needs to be adjusted just right to work. (Looks cool though) If you don't like the barrel sell it on E-bay and get yourself a nice boomstick of at least 14 inches. If you play a lot of speed-ball consider a revolution hopper. The model 98 was meant to shoot fast and you may experience ball breakage if they don't feed fast enough.

aw man...i hope u did some research before this......i really think u wasted some money. why did u get da powerfeed? not a big difference. with da same amount.....u could have gotten like...a vertical chamber. i dont think the flatline is usually good for someone who hasnt really thought it over. it kinda goes up when u first shoot it due to its madd back spin. so if ur close...u gotta aim kinda down. also.....it gets very innaccurate at long ranges. man....with 109's...i would have gotten a smart parts stainless or smart parts all american ...or even a boomstick wit da extra money u had from not buyin da powerfeed. if ur going co2...i would really recommend an ACI x chamber......hm.......too bad tho.

*sigh* the flatline rocks, most people fudge it up though 1 way or another, the guy at my field was sitting at the doorstep of a trailor, and was shootin people with a flatline that were on the hyperball field, which was a couple hundred yards away

You still haven't told us how much you spent on the deal. It does matter.
