difference between m98 and m98 custom?

[chrishaolin]

this is a dumb question probably, but i still need the answer.. thanks

[ds613]

M98 custom is easier to customize. (example: no milling needed for RT kit)

[chrishaolin]

alright thanks. i was just curious why the price of teh custom was less than the m98. i would think the fact that it is more easily customized would make it more expensive

[Pookister569]

some places actually sell customs more expensive and some places don't. the custom m98 is the samething as the old one, but they made it easier to put upgrades in (reactive trigger, low pressure, ebolt, double finger trigger... and etc)

[chrishaolin]

and the customs only come in 2 colors? black and silver?

Why are m98's said to work well in cold?

[ciaran.mooney]

They run on Co2 they would work *worse* in the cold, unless someone put a nitro tank on them, which would be a waste cos that would cost more than the marker.

[Shazaam]

thats true but they work better then many other markers in the cold. I just cant remember why. And many people play while theres snow on the ground.

supposedly the CXV valve is what makes it so easy on CO2.

The Model 98 Custom actually comes in 5 colors. Black, Silver, and 3 anodized versions: Parkarized, Charcoal and Gun Metal Gray. However, all 3 of the anodized are really just different shades of gray.

The only difference in the guts between M98 and Custom is the trigger, trigger guard and trigger spring.

The body is the main difference. The custom has milled areas for the drop in kits and a handy way to drop in the trigger guard so you don't have to cut it off if you go to a double anymore.

The custom also doesn't have the gills at the front of the gun anymore. That was just a cosmetic feature on the older M98s anyway.

As for cold weather, the CVX valve handles liquid CO2 better than the valves most guns use. In cold weather, liquid is more likely to get into the valve, so that's why it's an issue.

Using nitrogen will improve your consistency in any weather, especially the cold. Since you can get a good preset nitrogen tank in the $150 range these days, I think it's well worth it. Check out the crossfire 68/3000 preset on our site. That's probably the best tank for the money that would work well on a Model 98.

Hope the info helps.
