JT two piece 14" barrel, Tippmann Flat line barrel
Marker Setup:
Tippmann 98 custom
Proteam Sniper F/X Stock
Proteam Commando F/X Fore-end
Proteam Commando F/X Sight
(this is the standard "Sniper F/X Plus" marker)
Strengths:
nice fore-grip, good barrel, great look for scenario games.
Weaknesses:
expensive, you have to buy the sight rail to aim the marker
Review:
this Add-on looks great, the barrel is really acurate, its very easy to hold. unfortunately you HAVE to get the sight rail to use the front sights. thats another $70 just to aim the marker. I have the full set up, and its worth it if you can afford the high costs. the quality of the fore-end is tops though, and its totally indesructable.
Conclusion:
It costs alot, but what good thing comes free? if you like scenario games, or just want a sweet looking gun, get this! (along with the stock and sight rail)
Model 98
Full Commando f/x 98 setup(Commando Fore-end, Commando Sight Rail, Stock)
R/T
Remote Line
Strengths:
Very Durable
Accurate With Double Tapping
Nice to hold on to
LOTS OF KUDOS!!!!!
Weaknesses:
Finding the right ball size is tricky.
I use Zap or Blaze.
Review:
All I can say is...FUN.
This thing gives newbies goose bumps when they see it. Talk about Intimidation!!!
Its VERY accurate. I love to play woodsball with it. Speed ball takes some getting used to.
With all the addons, the marker gets pretty long, so you have to consentrate on tucking a lot. I love walking this thing into a Paintball Field. Not long ago i went to a nearby field and set my marker on the table while i went to get my tank filled. Once i got back to my table to hook everything up, around 30 people came up to me and asked what I had. They nearly fliped when they found out it was a Tippmann.
Great for Scenario's.
Very Durable, you CANNOT break it, not that i tried.
Conclusion:
If you have the money, get it. You will have a blast.
Model 98 with 32 degrees CAR buttstock, the RAP4 M16 sight rail, and the 14" f/x plus fore end
Strengths:
gives the gun a nice M4 look and is pretty accurate
Weaknesses:
pricey, hassle to clean, and won't take every ball out there
Review:
The fore end is a nice looking fore end that can make your model 98 look like a nice M4 carbine. It is very accurate too.Though it is a bit pricey, it will give your gun an awesome look, and is very accurate. This will probably pertain to the scenario players out there. The fore end won't take every paintball out there either. The barrel has a prettey small bore size. So you should check the bore size of the paintball before you buy it. I recommend the 32 degrees teamcolors or competition paintball.
Conclusion:
I would recommend this product to those that like to play scenario games in the woods.
RECOMMENDED PAINTBALLS: 32 Degrees Team colors or competition

Tippmann 98 Custom
-32 Degrees Car Stock
-Proteam Commando F/X Fore End Plus
-Remote Line
-Red Dot Sight
-Sling
Strengths:
Accurate and adds kudos for looks.
Weaknesses:
Requires more time to clean the handguard, delta ring, etc. Expensive
Review:
This thing is accurate at times but you'll need the carry sight handle to make it fully effective, unless you use the "Shoot one and follow the trail" method. If your into mil-sim guns, this barrel kit is perfect for you. It looks so great in my 98 Custom. Last time I took my 98M to a paintball field, people there were literally falling in love with it. A real head-turner!
The only downside I find in this barrel kit is it'll take more time cleaning it due to all the angles on the handguard, such as the holes in the top and bottom of the handguard. But thats just...hygiene-wise(I guess thats what you can call it) and not performance-wise.
Conclusion:
Great for all you mil-sim lovers. Its pricey, I know. The first time I saw the price for this, I almost choked to death from my Cheesy Poofs. But I think its worth every one cent.

Weaknesses:
-expensive
Review:
If your a rifle shooter and you want the feel of a real gun, then this set up is for you. Its kinda pricey but I think it's worth it. This set up also gives the Model 98 a real look, with the full set up the marker is the sam size and weight of a real M4. I've added a real M4 sling on mine and this is the greatest set up ever.
Conclusion:
I'll give this an 8 out of 10 because you need the whole f/x package to make it effective. And it's kinda pricey.
