This is the oem / stock / original plastic feed elbow that is used on many of the Tippmann 98's and 98 Custom line of 68cal paintball markers. This is a complete replacement part assembly. It is not an aftermarket metal upgrade.
98's have always used plastic elbows with metal latch arms, pins, and pinch bolts. At some point they switched from being a matte black finish to a glossy black finish. We've added some additional images. Current elbows being shipped are the glossy black look.
