[GranDream]

You probably ordered the wrong thread size, where did you buy it from?

[Button Mash]

ummm sry but i have no idea what is goin on like i said iam a total newb to this stuff all i know is that the barrels packages says 98 custon! the problem is it is to small to screw into the maker!

when i got my CP i had that problem, its easy to fix, really. just loosen the screw that is going through the front sight. its screw #1 in the manual.

Did you compare it to your stock barrel? Are they the same?

[tighttippmann]

maybe u just didnt aline the threads right
(altough they are pretty easy to see:) )

[wahoofan627]

differant brands of markers have different sized barrel threads. You may have ordered a thread that is made for a different marker. Make sure you get model 98 CUSTOM threads, because regular m98's are different. Call the place you ordered to see if you can return it.

[tighttippmann]

yeah, usually different companies make different threads. Or it could have just been a manufacturing mess-up.

I'm aware that they made a slight change last year, but all problems with that have been resolved, or so it seems.
