Quick question about 98 to A5 barrel adapter.

I am thinking about trading one of my minis for another A5 and making it into a .50 cal. I love the look but i wish the barrel stuck out a little bit further from the end of the shroud. The 18" A5 barrel is $80 on opsgear so i thought of something and saw an opertunity to save some money and make it look better. There is a 98 18" barrel that is exactly the same as the A5 one for $30 and i could get the 98 to A5 adapter for $15.

My question is, will the adapter make the barrel any longer? if not, is there another longer, cheap barrel that this: OPSGEAR can be mounted on the end?

barrel: Tippmann Model 98 Fluted Paintball Barrel

adapter: Tippmann 98 to A5 Barrel Adapter

Thanks

Re: Quick question about 98 to A5 barrel adapter.

a barrel adapter may make it about 1 inch longer.

ask nexo if his brake fits his brass barrel that he had me order for him.

Re: Quick question about 98 to A5 barrel adapter.

this is just a suggestion, which i highly doubt tht you want to pay.
but stiffi makes 23" barrels with a5 threads but the down fall is it is $125 lol, but its a cool idea,
STIFFI - X7/A-5 CLASSIC BARREL 23" | Special Ops Online Store - Special Ops Paintball

and yeah like Cleric said maybe 1" if not less

Re: Quick question about 98 to A5 barrel adapter.

All said and done the adapter will add less than an inch to your total length. I love them to because it gives me so many options between my a5 and 98 barrels.

Good luck

Ya im getting the 98 barrel and the adapterbecause it will be about half the cost of the same A5 barrel but i was just woundering if maybe it added some length for a bonus. oh well the .50 cal kit still looks killer with an 18".
