A home made rocket cock made out of a face cloth ;P.
Marker Setup:
98 custom with adjustable stock and a one point harness with a rocket cock and a raised lapco sight.
Strengths:
It quets the gun down a bit and it keeps the crap out.
Weaknesses:
If you have an adjustable stock you cant close it all of the time.
Review:
This is a good buy if you play in harsh conditions but if you play speedball you dont need this too to much. i play in sandy conditions and pretty much all of the crap stays out of the gun, and it makes you feel alot safer when you slide.

Review:
This is one of the best, cheap upgrades for a 98 Custom.
Pros-
-Quiets Marker- It makes your 98 quieter by preventing some sound from escaping.
-Cheap- I got mine as a gift but from what i've seen its cheap.
-Durable- Its a good strong plastic.(I think its plastic) It survived when the person who I was letting use my marker while I was refing got shot up and nothing happened to it.
-Keeps bolt clean- The 98 Custom has one problem that the bolt is exposed to dirt and grime. This makes a big difference in the cleanliness of the bolt.
Cons-
Diffrent size bolt- The Allen wrenches required to put this on and take it off are diffrent than the stock Tippmann bolts. A minor inconvience.
Conclusion:
Get this for your 98 Custom. You wont be disappointed.

Tippmann 98 Custom
J&J Ceramic 14 Inch Barrel
BT Sealed Bolt System
Strengths:
Covers the opening of the cocking mechanism.
Looks good.
Seemed to quiet the gun.
Weaknesses:
Made out of fiberglass-like composite, so it might chip or crack during winter play.
Review:
I used this for the first time yesterday. It worked beautifully. It made the gun's noise not as loud.
In my first game yesterday, we we're playing in the woods. I tried to get my enemie's flank and shoot them, but they were trying to do the same to us. This was a 2v2 game, just a basic practice. So I see my enemies in the distance and I get behind a tree. When they're about 30 feet away I shot a few rounds, just to shake them up. I yelled for my friend, and I got up to move back to the next tree, but I slipped and dropped my gun in weird concauction of pine needles, water and decayed wood. I dropped it right on the sealed bolt system, and right then and there I was happy I got this product. If i hadn't I probably would be cleaning out my gun right now.
Conclusion:
Get this product if you get on the ground a lot and you do a lot of sliding.
98 custom,CMI 16" QB Tru-Flite,Maddman springs,Ben Tippmann Sealed Bolt System
Strengths:
Cheap,light weight,easy to install,easier to grab
Weaknesses:
Fiber glass type composite,hex bolts aren't the same size as the stock bolts,
Review:
This isnt brain surgery to install the directions are pretty straight forwar(no diagrams).all you have to do is tear down your marker (like you would if you were to clean it)then slide out your old cocking knob and slid the one that it came with into the hammer,put your marker back together and THEN place the the cocking ring over the bolt opening and then use the longer bolt(yes it comes with with them) and VOILA your done.its easier to grab on to .
Conclusion:
Overall a good product it has its pluses and miuses but definatly recomend to keep dirt paint and other gunk out of your marker i'll give it a 7.7 but since i cant i'll give it an 8 besides this is paintball nothing is perfect.
