Sarcasm intended? I am sorry for the things I cannot control.

With paintball rifles (the home-made kind), what kind of range can you get with them? I am considering building one since I have an old 21" sniper barrel I never use. It would be nice to have a homemade paintball rifle with a 300-500 foot range for those guys who think they are well out of range and walk around like nothings going on.

quick question, is diablo a good brand of paintball gun to get? or should i go with a tippman 98. the goal is to not spend more than $200

Idk about the guns, sorry. But to Orpackrat, you wont be able to fire 300 to 500 accuratly. Its been said before, a paintball is just not a good projectile and it swerves all over. So you wanna get a gun that is consistant at decent ranges and you are hidden.

Well to be honest, I really couldn't be happier with my Spyder TL-R. Only problem with it is I'm a woodsballs and it's polished aluminum, kinda defeats the purpose of camo. But that's why I'm making a rifle rag for it. And I'm gonna get a rifled barel. 98's are good with mods but my TL-R was pretty darn good right out of the box.

Yea there are a few quirks with it. The feed neck is a little wierd, instead of the hopper sitting in ti, there's a little bridge thing that makes it sit higher. It's clear so I think the purpose is to know how many shots oyu have left. The trigger pull is kind of long so if you're a guy that unloads a hoppers worth of paint at anything that moves, it's not for you. I'm a marksman so two rounds will do for me. It comes with a low-pressure chamber already installed, as such it's pretty efficient. Of course you can still mod it. I know a lady that has a rocking electronic trigger, a custom bolt, two-piece rifled barrel, replaced feed neck, and hpa system. The only stock part left is the frame of the gun itself.

You know Clide's slider design? I copied that and have a working auto loader.

I havent tested it performance wise, I am still looking for a barrel. but it loads and fires paintballs nicely. So I hope I get some decent performance with a barrel.

yeah thats actually what im looking for. about how much is one of the spyder tlr's gonna set me back? and also i like your signature

Do not get a Tippmann model 98, Get a Tippmann 98 Custom, the body of the model 98 is plastic but the body of the 98 Custom is metal and more durable. Tippmann 98 Custom, find a decent one on Ebay, you can usually get one with some mods for around $100 and then you could mod it some more. I currently have 3 Tippmann 98 Customs with various mods and all function without problems with only basic maintenence and a bit of extra oil.
