Tippmann’s new 98 Custom Platinum Series is now easier to upgrade, modify and maintain.
The Ultra Basic does not come with a hopper.
The new Platinum Series maintains the core features of the original 98 Custom including, ACT (Anti Chop Technology), all aluminum die cast receiver, and quick-release feeder elbow. It’s fully compatible for CO2, compressed air, or nitrogen.
There is also a new Quick Thread Flatline Barrel available for the Platinum Series, which attaches as easily as any other barrel to save players significant time and effort.
