Mine was REAL bad. Tippmann said they would replace the receiver, but then I started looking at other ones and they all pointed of to the left! Granted some more than others.

I didn't want to mess around with the wait, so I took about some plastic shim stock and held it inside the left half while I screwed the barrel in. It was straight! So I took some marine quality epoxy putty and built out the left half a little. I only needs to be up to the point that the threads start. Not into the threads. Just enough to put a little more pressure on the barrel O-ring. After it starts to set, you can smooth it out with your finger in a plastic bag and dip your finger in rubbing alcohol so it won't stick to your finger.

Let it all set 24 hours then try your barrel. If it is too much, sand a little out with some 400 grit wet sand paper until it fits nice and straight. You should never have a problem again.

: I own 4 98 customs and on all 4 the barrels tilt to the left. The longer the barrel the more noticeable. Has anybody else noticed this? If so is there a fix? This does not make for very accurate first shots. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dan.
