: I have a Spyder 2000 (Not Compact) and recently, the rear snap-cocker bolt fell out. To top it off, the trigger frame is missing a screw and is currently electrical-taped in place. I paid $80 for the marker and the bolt parts are going to cost $40 all told to fix. I can get a trigger frame screw for nothing on top of that, all from Kingman, and in terms of upgrades I might also get a Sprint trigger frame.

: Is it really worth upgrading all this? I've been thinking about the Tippmann 98 with a Flatline, but I've heard that it's not good for rapid fire- the backspin supposedly puts massive stress on the paintballs- and the Flatline is a b!tch to clean.

: Should I upgrade this Spyder? Should I go for a 98? What about the Tippmann A-5? Then again, if I'm going to pay $250 and around for a marker, shouldn't I get a base Cocker or a Mag? Any thoughts?

What do you mean, fell out? Stripped threads? Lost the connecting bolt? Just go down to the hardware store and get another screw for the frame. Don't have the TPI handy, but just take the body and test it there. LMK on the snap bolt. Hellrazor out.
