There is also a difference in barrel sizes if im not mistaken but I think the newer 98 customs and platinums have the improved size (the same size as the A5)
standard .68 caliber.
Yes, the tippmann 98 and the tippmann custom are the same marker, therefore the threading of the barrel will be the same.
