Cutting the trigger guard off chameleon model98

[Trbo323]

Well if you like the chameleon here's an option for you then, Rust-Oleum makes a couple colors of what they call color shift paint it's pretty unique stuff and they have a purple blue green that's pretty close to that chameleon 98 you have so you could paint the 98c to give it a similar look and also have all the features you want.

Here's one I did a few years back. It's not perfect as not all the colors show up well on photos but it does shift and it's a pretty cool effect

Yeah good call, I’d mill the crap out of a beat up stock model 98 and apply one of those fancy Dupli-color rattle can color shifting finishes if that’s what I wanted and keep the og chameleon one pretty stock

Ok ... All considered it's gonna retain its trigger guard 😊

Adding the rt to it will be a bit too much fancy machining that I want to do, and I want to keep the ring trigger on the rt, so no ring trigget either 😅

Now I need a supercool trigger guard for the 98C and a rear cocking kit for the m98 🙄

I think I'll drop the A5s for now ...

All in fun, but seriously though.

That starts to be a bit more than I want to put in this ..
I was gonna keep 1 tricked out 98 and 1 A5, but I may drop the A5 and just keep 2 98s, the chameleon and a tricked out one ...

So just don't do the trigger in the m98. Put the RT in it and maybe a RVA.

That’s a pre badge TPI 98, I think it has the same trigger parts as an old M.

Also you'll need to modify the trigger spring to be in front of the trigger not behind..

It's doable but with this one being a unique factory color and 98 customs cheap as they are is the work justification worth it.... To me no.

[Trbo323]

The idea is to move the inside of the black one in the chameleon body 😁

Be sure to check the trigger linkage before you commit to this most of the m98s used pull springs for the triggers and Sears while most of the 98Cs use push springs for both.

It's not an insurmountable problem but is rather annoying to have to fix between the two

It would have a ring trigger, so no walking anyway 😁

[EvilCreature]

That is true, it would make it a little easier/more forgiving.

[Ecapnation]

The holes, slots and grooves are not present in the first gen 98's

It's going to be a bit of grinding to do all that

[XEMON]

It's in decent shape except for some dings on the back of the frame. It would be trashed I would not feel one bit, but I'm just wondering if I'll feel bad once it's done and over 😋
If I do it I would probably use a cool aftermarket guard or make one out of stainless and heat oxide some purply color ...

Do you mean the internal tabs and the hole on the right shell?
I'm planning on doing all that and using a 98comp valve body so everything looks like the 98custom but with the guild body 😁

Pump the brakes.

M98 's are not cut to use RT kita

And?

Carver ones were never meant to be three barrels sequential firing systems

Spyders were never meant to be closed bolt

Hammer 7s were never designed to be lever action

Rainmakers were not supposed to be mechanical

Ariacron pistols were not supposed to fire full auto

All of these are MCB projects. If anything what something is not supposed to be inspires us to make it that

I recall the longer moment arm on the double trigger made it rt better. I recall pulling on the bottom trigger grove a lot.
