I don't know, I think would prefer replacing an O-Ring to packing up my gun and sending it off for god knows how long. I also happen to know from experience that the M98s internals are a HELL of a lot more complex than just the valve. You also have about a dozen screws, rubber ball detent, pins, springs and Tippman can't make up their minds whether they like Gas or Liquid.
Two... their customer service is well above par.. its excellent. I can say from experience. I had a problem (cuased by the store i bought it, not the manufacturer) and they shipped me a whole new bolt and sear.. free... in 3 days. actually 2 1/2. And nice as you can get. So dont burn it there.
I have yet to have to use Tippman's customer service, so that in itself is a testement to the company.
And they are tough as a tank.. so are mags.. but i think tippmann wins there. Are you @&*%$ing stoned?!?! -Fred I mean.. i have dropped mine in a POND. yea.. i slipped on some mud while skipping paint across the water (very fun) and i fell if, and in it went.i jumped in after it, and fished her out. Now, unlike mags, the 98 is an open bolt. The Mag is definately an Open Bolt System, hence the invention of the Powerfeed by AGD Water had gotten in the opening where the cocking know is. It was full of water. I drained the hopper as good as I could, and with water still in hte bolt and around hte valve/powertube, I fired. it worked just fine. the only thing that was wrong was the paint was wet so it wasnt to accurate, but it fired perfect. I have also dropped it in snow, mud, on concrete (friend dropped it, *******) etc.. still works. and if the powder coating gets scratched.. you can just paint over it with some black paint. try doing thta on a 400$ ano job on a cocker.
Ok, I don't do Drugs, but whatever you are smoking sounds good to me! You are comparing an Aluminum Gun to a Stainless Steel Gun. I could build a house using the Automag as the hammer and still play paintball over the weekend. This is without a doubt the MOST DURABLE PAINTBALL GUN ON THE PLANET!
Anyways.. not dissing mags.. they are better than tippmanns... but only in certain ways. If your short on cash, or might not wanna blow it all on the gun, get hte Tippmann. and a 98 with a flatline can prove very useful.. if you havent seen the distance.. it is a sight to see.
OK, a Tippman with a Flatline cost just around what a P/F 68 Mag costs, so why would anyone even bother?
