| MCB Member  Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: East Lansing, MI  | ?'s and Price Check on old I just picked up a Tippmann Model 98 from my local pawn shop. It had some accessories that I wanted. After inspecting the gun, I found some things that were weird to me. I have owned and used many 98's. My first gun was a 98 and I bought it in 1999. I only recently switched to an A-5 (and actually like my 98 Custom Pro better). This 98 has an aluminum power tube, safety, and end cap. The serial number is 25281. I recall something about a alum power tube. Do those things just make it old and of the original design? Also, it is missing one body screw and the replacement screws I have from my Tippmann parts kits don't fit it... The finish is in good shape. Very few areas where the finish has bubbled, very few scratches and a couple spots where the paint has chipped off. It also has a vertical adapter and raised site installed. Is this worth $50-60? Or, does the alum parts make it worth more or less?    Last edited by MrBig; 02-11-2008 at 07:18 PM.. |

| wandering gypsy mod  Join Date: Mar 2006 | I know my model 98 came with a plastic powertube. I have upgraded many of the 98s (both model and customs) that I have worked on to the Aluminum powertube. Doing so has given an increase in both efficiency and consistency. As far as adding value, I imagine this is the same as any other upgrade. It depends on the person buying it. I would imagine that it would be worth at least the 50-60, depending on condition.
