Better than flatline barrel for tippmann 98?
1616570
It doesn't put an artificial spin on the ball like the flatline but shoots pretty darn straight and with some arc it'll go as far if not farther with power than the flatline

Mag worked for me - Barrel gets too hot. Be-careful, over tightening can be an issue. Hope this helps! Fine tuning the laser sight can be difficult. The directions are sparse at best.

Yes, it does work. There isn't as much barrel rise when it's on my Ruger 22/45 Lite pistol. However, the shots are louder and it blows items that mey be to the sides of where you're shooting. Also, I've had a couple of incidents where a piece of hot powder flake blew back onto my wrist. My suggestion is if the barrel rise on the gun you're shooting is causing you accuracy problems, then it might be worth a try. I can only speak from my experience...your experience might be different. I hope this helps.

any barrel that can be threaded to Tippmanns is usually adaptable to BT Omega, so it should work! this barrel is awesome btw, BUY IT

I have shot multiple brands, types, and sizes with this barrel and only had issues with one kind..we had issues with that paint breaking in all 27 of our markers.. Bad paint not the barrel. It does sling the better quality paint farther and more consistently however aside from the day of the evil yellow paint, it is a great all around barrel that performs well with everything I have stuck in the hopper. 10x better than the stock barrel on my tippman project salvo with cyclone feed. Paint break is very rare as is a roll out. Highly recommend especially if you shoot a variety of paint or want that option available.

I used it on a Remington 742 BDL 30.06 and the fit was perfect . The furniture on the 742 BDL is a little different than the 740 standard fore arm . You may need to buy some additional hardware to secure the fore arm and do some modification . A very long flat head screw driver with a big handle , some oil and some time will also be needed . For the hardware , Uncle Mikes . The reward is a nice Remington brand black stock with a recoil reduction pad and less weight to carry . The only down side for me has been that , now , my sons are arguing about who is going to get dad's Remington when the day comes . I used it on a Remington 742 BDL 30.06 and the fit was perfect .

I have a Go silent Cat springer. It worked fine for a while and now it won't stay zeroed. I would say that it is a great scope for pop guns but not so much for the spring actuated guns due to the extra kick.

I've used several and did a test of my own on what I have and my favorite is the pellet that has a small copper BB on top. I have it right here but there's no name. It was the more accurate and I have the Predator Polymag, 16 grain. They are lead with the red plastic pointed insert on top. The one I like for distance is the RWS, Hyper Velocity Pellet. Green plastic with the I believe lead pointed top. Do you know how to make not so snug pellets more snug? Carefully put a BB at the open/bottom end of pellet, tap ever so lightly with a gunsmith hammer and it will spread it out a little. Check the fit. Might take a few tries. Gives better FPS. Good luck and have fun! I've used several and did a test of my own on what I have and my favorite is the pellet that has a small copper BB on top. I have it right here but there's no name.

The Tru plex is great for a .22 caliber @ 100 yards but I don't shoot much further than that.I also went with the Centerpoint from Walmart 3x9 (mil dot). I actually got a chart to use which uses distance vs windage and drop. But, then again, I don't shoot much further than 100 yards.

Yes, you need an adapter if it has spyder threads. although you shoud've received a tippmann threaded barrel scince that is the advertised product. also its very odd that this exact barrel that has tippmans logo would be spyder threaded. Anyway, if you buy the "Rap4 Paintball Spyder to Tippmann 98 Barrel Adapter" it should solve this problem. =)

No!!! Bonnie's advice neglects to point out that BBs will roll out the barrel if it is sloping down! Crossman recommends only the special pellets!

I've used Crossman Premier hollow point and Gamo Match, Raptor and Platinum...I like the Raptor an Platinum the best for higher FPS and penetration w the the edge going to the Platinum...although the Platinum are the best they are expensive so for practice I use the Crossman for anything meaningful I use the Platinum....do not use any of the tipped ammo they will not fit in the magazine...hope that helps...

I like the rounded or pointed pellets. I've never used hollow pointed; I've heard they aren't very accurate. I just use the cheap crossman pointed

I got this barrel for quick fun tippman a5 barrel. And it fit perfectly. From what I've read about the gryphon it does have the same threads as a tippman A-5

Should work, though the paratrooper is a shorter barrel. Tip isn't ground down.

It should, you might have received the wrong barrel. The threads are supposed to be big like the stock barrels on 98 receivers. The Alpha Black and Project Salvo are derived from the Tippman 98 Custom receiver. Therefore, aside, from aesthetics, the Alpha Black and Salvo are internally identical to the 98 custom.
