Shoulder Stock Installation on Tippmann and US Army Paintball Guns Last Updated: 10/04/2012
To assemble a stock on a 98 series gun, please follow the disassembly procedures in your gun manual. You will need to remove the End Cap and insert the stock into the slots where the End Cap was. You need to align the tab on the top of the stock with the slot in the receiver halves to match the spring hole(s) correctly with the body and spring(s).
If you have an older 98, pre ACT, your receiver halves may not have the alignment slot milled into them. The new style stocks have a top alignment tab. You may need to remove this tab to get the stock to fit the older style. Easily done with a hobby knife.
