they dont really work as a sniper tbh fella max reasonable barrel is about 14"-16" the ncstar build quality isnt brill so wont last long if it keeps getting hit have a look at this www.planeteclipse.com/site/paintball_markers/ethamight look a lil bit tourny styke but with one of these www.planeteclipse.com/site/products/emc_etha_rail_mounting_kitthe pic at the top of that page says it all it takes bt delta/tippamann 98 stocks and has rails top an bottom plus you can get more accessories than you'd know what to do with jus have a look at the gallery, plus tippmanns are solid markers but are quite heavy on air usage and all those lovely rails coud get covered in paint and be a pain to clean. hope thats some help

a bit pricey for me , no doubt this is a good marker but can get the Salvo for $204 imported. its a starter marker and maybe just reduce the barrel length and change to a flatline barrel

id avoid importing at all costs tbh mate if its not labeled up as a pball marker they could send it back or at worst destroy it plus theres the chance of getting bummed by import tax.........

avoid that marker tbh mate its basically a 98 internally, try going for an x7 or an A5 theres silly amounts of options/shrouds for them so you can get it looking similar for example for the a5 flatline barrel you can get a shroud for the flatline that has rails on it already

If you really want a Salvo then speak to BZ Paintball. It's run by the Banks family and Paul Banks is the European Manager for Tippmann. If anyone can get you one it'll be them.
Importing personally is fraught with issues; the possibility of impounding or destruction due to being an IF, Import Duty & Vat making it more expensive than you expected, no warranty etc
BUt...again, as Rexy said, it's just another 20 year old tech mechanical marker underneath. If you want something more accurate, efficient, quiet and moddable, then find some Sp1/Vive/Ion guts and build a marker that is cheap, unique and newer technology
