That is the patent number of the 98c. The serial number is below that above the trigger, it may have worn off by now (mine is half worn off). With a quick google search i found this, which explains what im getting at.

Tippmann recently had a new mold made for manufacturing the 98 Custom receivers. The new receivers have a slight change made to the barrel threads. All guns with serial numbers above 495,501 will not accept the old style barrels. All barrels being manufactured now have the new style thread. All new barrels will fit either the new or old receiver. If you have recently purchased an aftermarket barrel with the older style threads, they will not fit the new receiver.
