Hello, I have a tippmann 98 custom since i have been using it, the marker has been firing paintballs consistently towards the left, i have a nice barrel, draxus rec-sport paint, and my velocity is set at about 270. Any ideas, thanks. |

Could you read me the cerial number of the Tippmann? There are some 98's that have old threads, and the barrel will sometimes install improperly on them. -------------  http://www.angryflower.com/softwa.gif - http://www.angryflower.com/softwa.gif

make sure theres no oil inside the barrel. after oiling, dryfire without your barrel. to clean it out, run warm water down it, and stuff down a paper towel and push through. -------------

maybe you should try a new bolt, one that forms the air like a starfire or hyperstar, im getting a hyperstar -------------

Possibilities of why your balls are shooting wildly.... Make sure the barrel is thoroughly clean...small pieces of a ball inside the barrel walls can effect the balls performance when shot. Check the balls if they have any dimples on them....this would result in having and using old paintballs...get a new batch. Do you know your ball to barrel match? ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

dont do it! you will loose a lot of range and some accuracy because these bolts dont seal with the barrel wasting gas. the only bolt that can improve performance is a venturi bolt which isnt made for tippmanns. -------------

actually the starfire seals just like the stock bolt, only diff is the thread pattern o the inside the proseal bolt is aluminum and has a delron insert, same o-ring setup as stock the hyperstar doesnt have an o-ring, i think, but i have yet to use it -------------

I'd get a new barrel O-ring. Ask the barrel manufacturer. I had the same problem, the barrel was actually pointing to the left. I sent in my gun to Tippmann and they "fixed" it, but the barrel would still be pointing to the left. I discovered that I had a bad barrel O-ring and swapped it out for a different one, and there were no more problems. I guess my local paintball shop swapped in that O-ring and sold it to me thinking I wouldn't know. ------------- Who loves the chocolate? Everyone loves the chocolate. Nobody hates the chocolate.
