Next upgrade

Well, It is time to upgrade again I reckon, so what do you reccomend that I get? I have it narrowed to a few things:
Shoulder stock
HPA tank(72ci3k)
Pistol(USP probably)
New marker(An MR2 most likely)
MAYBE a new bolt

That's about it, what do you guys think?

It wouldn't hurt to tell us what marker you plan on upgrading...
Really the key to upgrading to replace something you don't like or don't already have. If you don't like your gun overall get a different marker. If your gun's chopping, maybe a new bolt. But I'd suggest the HPA tank because you'll probably end up buying that sooner or later so why not now.

HPA tank no question. But I'd go fiber-wrapped to reduce weight.

I'm assuming you have a 98C, just because they are so common and you are talking about shoulder stocks and stuff. I would just get a new barrel and call it a day. Save up your money for an Ion or SP8 if you really like woodsball. Then, buy a nice HPA tank to go along with it.

Sorry guys, I assumed that you knew that I had a spyder 2006 victor(Victor II, custom body) I didn't want a tippy, too common and too hard to clean. A bit on the heavy side too. Anyway.....me and my friend will order HPA tanks off actionvillage and get the free shipping. So, I figure I'll get that.

Well, save up and get a Smart Parts Ion and Egg 2 for $260 total. Or an MR2 would be nice, only they are heavy too. You said you don't like weight. Well either way you will have a nice setup.

I would go with a carbon fiber HPA tank, a 4500psi one. Running on air will give you consistency, and you won't have to worry about freezing your marker. You can also carry a good HPA tank over to your next marker.

I wouldn't get a big steel tank, though. At 3000psi you only get 2/3rds the shots out of a similarly sized 4500psi tank. Check out this calculator: http://www.scubatoys.com/paintball/paintballshots.asp, it will give you a good idea of how many shots to expect.

I can't say much, I'm using a 48/3k steel HPA tank because it was the only air tank that fit in my budget. I only get around 500 shots, so fortunately my local field breaks often and has free all day air. But seeing as he is contemplating a pistol or other new marker, I figured he'd have the money to drop on a good tank.

You can get a fiber wrapped 68/45 for about $100-$120. In the long run, it's a way better deal. A 72/30 steel tank gets you an average of about 500 shots. Steel tanks are heavy as all hell too. Kyle, stop embarrassing yourself. The date on the last post before yours was from almost a month ago, and a barrel wasn't even one of his choices. That means he probably has a barrel already. It's obvious that you are new to paintball, so stop trying to argue with the people who have been paintballing for years and years.

What? Are talking about a barrel adapter? He already has a spyder you don't need a spyder threaded adapter to put a spyder threaded barrel on a spyder.
