You should take the clamshells apart and take everything off them and feel how heavy they really are. Aluminum is extremly light and even if you were able to "Drill" away half of the recievers you would not even notice the weight difference. But that is cool that you are looking for ways to customize your marker and make it your own. I have a 98 as well as half the civilized world and i am proud of the fact that mine is different then most others you see.

If you can't carry around a gun for awile you might buy some dumbbells instead and lift those for awile then go lift your marker and see how light your gun is then.

You can drill holes, although I'd just cut a large square/rectangle out, as I did. Trace a line where the grips go, and cut out any part inside your lines. Or drill holes inside the line (make sure your drill bits are sharp, or they will slide around or you, making it harder to get your holes started. Not to mention it will take longer to drill.). And if you take off enough material, it will be lighter to the point where you can notice it.

Go ahead try it, but IMO It's not really worth it.

wouldn't this mod just make the gun really front-heavy? i have a cyclone, R/T, and expansion chamber on my gun. i've never had a problem with it being too heavy, even with the cyclone filled, and CO2 hooked up to the ASA. try lifting weights. |

The hammer makes up a good chunk of the weight in the back of the gun. Do the lightened hammer mod instead.

You can always do some milling to the recievers. Not only taking off
the rear sight and lettering, but removing the upper part of the
receiver where the linkage arm is, and removing the lower part of the
receiver where the VA hose runs into the valve.
BTW, I hope you have a Dremel or fine toothed file around to smooth out your receiver after your done drilling holes. Be sure and plan out what exactly your going to be removing and what your going to be keeping. |

Check out my signature... I have a remote. I have a R5 ricochet hopper for my cyclone feed and I like it a lot hold 220 balls hardly gets hit keeps up with my fast shooting during speedball so I don't think I am going to get a tac cap. I just like doing things to make my gun better or more customized/modded. I just think I'd like it better lighter. I use it for speedball and woodsball and a long day of paintball especially speedball when you are trying to move quick or snap shoot well the gun seems a little heavy -- well it's not that bad (it is half a pound lighter than an A-5) but I just want it even lighter. |

Yeah really, if you want it to be light get a remote or one of the small 50 round hoppers, or both.

I doubt drilling a few holes would create a noticeable change in the weight of the gun. I suppose drill bits would work though.

Who will see the holes anyway?? NO ONE!! There are grips that go on the trigger frame and therefore no one will see why my 98 custom is lighter than others!

I guess drill bits would work, but I think it'll look retarded with a bunch of holes in the triggerframe. 98s arent that heavy, suck it up.

Did you read the first post that is in this thread. I said right in that first thread "is basically screwing a bunch of holes in the trigger frame to make the gun lighter" Hence the name for the mod is "Superlight 98 Mod". Edited by phil_stl - 20 June 2006 at 12:16pm |
