I have an Ion with a redz pepper stick barrel. When I shoot about 50 balls the barrel is very loose. Do I just need to twist it a little tighter?

Put some teflon tape around the threads and it will stay in nicely

Or make sure there's an o-ring on it..

I would say o-ring... the tape is an ok ghetto fix, but if you put the o-ring on, you are good to go.

Why only do one when you can do both??? I've noticed that the O-ring is ok, but dosn't hold the greatest so if you add a little teflon tape on the threads it'll hold for sure.

For the way my 98 was, I might put on a little super glue also, then I'd make it through a couple games. lol

Is it supposed to have an o-ring on it? and if it does, would it be on the barrel, or where the barrel screws into the gun?

You put it at the end of the threads usually, as close to the barrel as you can with out it going on to the shaft barrel.
