The Tippman Model 98 Custom is known for its ease of use, durability and reliability. It was originally the 98 Model, until Tippmann added improved modifications. The simple inline blowback design is very reliable and easy to maintain. Originally a black sheep in its overall design, it has become known as one of the most upgradeable markers for the new player.
It is important to note that most of the upgrades are of cosmetic nature only. And many so called “performance” upgrades have been shown to provide minor, if any benefits.
By pressing down on the front sight, the player can swing-down the feedneck, allowing for easy access to the chamber and thus allowing for fast in-game swapping of the feedneck. Many players have found that an occasional few drops of marker oil in the air input (ASA) is all this marker needs to function reliably, It is because of this low level of maintenance that this is the number one marker used for field rental at commercial paintball fields.
Another feature of the Tippmann Model 98 series of guns is their clam-shell design. By removing the six bolts on the left side of the marker you can dismantle the marker into two halves or shells. This allows users a very easy method of cleaning and maintaining the internals of the marker. It is cumbersome, and not advisable to do out in the field as there are small parts that may be lost. The clamshell design was updated with a more modular design in the A-5. The only part not easily accessed nor easily cleaned is the valve, but this part is generally low maintenance and rarely, if ever, needs to be cleaned or taken apart.
One feature incorporated in later iterations of the Tippmann Model 98 Custom is the inclusion of ACT (Anti-Chop Technology). This simple system prevents the front bolt from chopping the paintball if it does not find its way completely into the firing chamber when the trigger is pulled.
In early 2008, the Tippmann Model 98 Custom product line underwent a refresh, simultaneously yielding the The Tippmann model 98 Custom Platinum and termination of manufacture of the older 98 Custom non-A.C.T. models.
