reb cpl Tuesday, March 11th, 2008 Period of Product Use: Less than a month 14 of 17 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Similar Products Used: Tippmann 98, 98c, and numerous other Tippmann products. Marker Setup: Predominantly stock, J&J ceramic barrel Recommended Upgrades: Barrel upgrade, the rest is up to you. Strengths: Enhanced features for use, maintenance, and upgrading Weaknesses: Few if any. Review: The modifications of the 98c platinum edition came from suggestions from players themselves, which speaks volumes for Tippmann. I was lucky enough to be one of the players that Tippmann had consulted in the creation of this marker. Their goal was to take the existing 98 custom, which is the workhorse of their product line, and enhance it. Those of us that were contacted provided them with numerous possible options for the upgraded 98, and were pleased to see just a few months later, that our suggestions had been taken seriously enough that most of them had been incorporated into the design of the new marker. One of the greatest advancements in this marker is the fact that the front sight spring no longer flies out when you take apart the marker. That alone is enough to rate this product pretty high. It is as light, and as durable ad the existing 98c, but the modifications to it managed to eliminate most of the small irritating quirks of the old 98 line. No more valve screws, which players tend to over tighten and strip, and the addition of the rails will serve many a milsim or scenario player quite well. The split receiver half was taken directly from modifications that players make to enable quick cleaning or upgrading to their marker. It is a great feature that saves all kinds of time and effort when cleaning or maintaining. Conclusion: This marker is an excellent starter marker for its simplicity, and for the upgrades that Tippmann has made to the original design, while adhering to the old look of the classic 98. I would recommend this marker to anyone getting into the game. Rating: 10 out of 10 Last edited on Tuesday, March 11th, 2008 at 7:46 am PST I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

thepizzaguy516 Thursday, May 29th, 2008 Period of Product Use: Less than a month 3 of 3 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 3 months Marker Setup: Tippmann 98 Custom Pro ACT Platinum Series E-Trigger w/ WAS Board Tippmann 14 inch barrell Tech T Fang Trigger Viewloader eVLution III hopper 20 oz Pure Enery CO2 tank Recommended Upgrades: E-Trigger or E-Grip Tech T Fang Trigger Viewloader eVLution III hopper Strengths: Reliable. Very Customizeable. Best Model 98 Gun. Weaknesses: More expensive than other guns with similar/better features Review: The Tippmann 98 Custom Pro ACT Platinum Series is the best model 98 gun out there (except for of course, the 98 Custom Pro w/ E-Trigger already installed). It's very reliable and I know people who have used this gun for years with great results. I definitly reccommend buying it and definitly get all of the upgrades I mentioned. They will turn your $140 98 into the equivalent of a $700 gun. Conclusion: Buy it and get all of the upgrades I mentioned. Rating: 9 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

Noctis Sunday, April 27th, 2008 Period of Product Use: Less than a month 2 of 4 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 1 year Similar Products Used: Tippmann 98 Custom Marker Setup: (MAIN) Tippmann 98 Custom Flatline barrel; Commando Stock; Cyclone Feed Adapter; Double Trigger Kit, 32 Degrees Coiled Remote w/ Slide Check (Secondary) Tippmann 98 Custom Platinum Edition ACT (digital woodland camo) Smartparts Progressive Barrel; Cyclone Feed Adapter; Double Trigger Kit; Response Trigger Kit; Ultimate Fusion Designs Coiled Remote w/ Slide Check Recommended Upgrades: Top on the list of upgrades is a new barrel, the redesigned barrel is really no better than the previous version's Personally I recommend the Cyclone Feed Adapter for and 98 model Tippmann Strengths: Power Tube is ready for response trigger and cyclone upgrades, rail system Weaknesses: Stock barrel, power tube comes loose a little too easy (IMHO) Review: Purchased the new 98 Custom Platinum as a primary marker for my girlfriend, and as a secondary for myself. The Good: Ready to upgrade with air powered accessories Rail System for mil-sim upgrades. ACT system Sling loop built into the end cap Front sight spring is securely in place and no longer flies out The ASA no longer needs loosening before disassembling the receiver The Bad: Stock barrel The Ugly: Nothing really, pretty good. Conclusion: A great start-up to moderate experience marker. It also should revitalize the market for 98 custom upgrades and mods for those who just wont shell out the cash for a new A-5 or X7...like myself HA! If only Tippmann would include a decent stock barrel, but then I guess they wouldn't be able to sell their 98 Custom PRO editions... Rating: 8 out of 10 I found this review   1 Comment - Add Comment
