my friend recently purchased a used 98c from a friend and was interested in buying one of my aftermarket barrels & when i let him try it out it wouldn't thread all the way. my barrel fits fine in my 98c & my other friends 98c, but not in his. any suggestions on to why this is or what he could do? thanks. |

Does your friend have a 98 custom or model 98 because some barrels will only work with the newer 98 custom instead of the old m98 ------------- Tippmann M98 Halo B 32 deg. Stock Tippmann Xpansionon chamber Polished Internals |

98 Customs made since around 2004 or 2005 have different threading. If
I remember rightly, the new barrels will thread into an old reciever,
but not vice-versa.
