Empire barrel tip threads

[dyeguy65]

i just got a 4 peice Empire kit for my cocker, and ive seen a guy that had an UL boomy kit mix matched with an Empire kit, as in UL tips on Empire backs and Empire tips on UL backs. are the two barrel kits the same threads? i would like to get a stif tip for it but they dont have them available for Empire kits. however, they have them for boomsticks. so if anyone knows this, please, enlighten me.

ONLY POST IF YOU KNOW FOR SURE
i dont want some 2nd poster kid hollerin that im stupid for not knowing this, which i have happen to me in the past

thanks for any help.

i used to have a UL and now i have an empire kit to be honest with you i dont think they are the same threading.. empire look longer

[dyeguy65]

id feel more comfortable with that answer if someone who has an Empire kit and a 2 peice boomstick can try this out. dont force it in and strip your threads though

i can go do that test i have a boomy too (its my brothers) i was just lazy at 6 in the morning to do it

[P8NTBALLER590]

and the results (drum roll) they dont fit

No they dont match. They look real similar but they arent. My friend owns a store and he thought the same thing. He tried it and it did not screw all the way. Anymore and he would have crossthreaded it.

well damn....no stiffi tip for muah. thanks for the help guys.

i wonder if your were seeing things cuz the empire barrel does look like the dye ultra light in its own ways

[dyeguy65]

no i want seeing things. the guy said he had a empire the took boomy backs and vise versa. im sure he had it custom threaded...thought id check just in case.

heh,totally off subject on the barrel brands,but my UL back and Scepter front always fit together perfect and shot great.

Maybe he got the tip re-threaded.
