Direct mounting of a qloader on 98C?

I want to mount my Qloader onto my 98 Custom like it is done with this gun:


Basically mounted directly onto the feed hole on top of the marker. What will I need to do that? I already have a Qloader. But I want it installed like the above picture. Having the white tube is pretty obnoxious, and not all of the paintballs will feed into the gun if there's tubing.

Plz help a Qloader owner.

(BTW, I've broken 2 Qpods already. WTF at that!? Good thing they fix them for free, but the shipping is expensive. Damn plastic parts. Damn disassembling and reassembling procedure! Oh well, at least it performs)

  IF you dont want to look down your sights then get a center feed but the Q LOADER isnt going to feed fast enough with the stock elbo so id get the Center feed but maybe puting the tube under the barrel because you gun is goin look like a squart gun, no afence not tryin to be mean and im not disin your idea I just wouldn't have it set up like that but thats just me its all up to you, so i hope it works out right and im not sure what you need to have it set up like this im not the Pro at Qloaders but just tryin to help out a fellow Paintballa.

Monkey Hunter, Qloader doesn't need a centerfeed. The spring tension is strong and loads the paintballs fast, even with an elbow. I wish mods could delete BS posts.

So, can any knowledgeable person answer my question?

^bing bing bing, weve got a winner

I don't really want the Qloader to stick out too far on top with the
PVC tube, and I don't want the loader to wiggle around on an
axis. I want it mounted onto the feed, wrapped around the
outside of it. I guess I answered my own question when I
suggested getting a Lapco direct feed but I would like someone
to tell me whether or not that'd be the best choice or if there's a
cheaper alternative.

The cheap alternative is to install the system with the parts that come with it. The suggestion that you visit a Home Depot type place and scrounge through the pvc pipe fittings is the easiest thing to do if you do not want to spend the BIG money for a Lapco part.

I believe, IIRC, that 1" diameter pvc fits inside the Tippmann neck. You can then slide a pvc bushing over that to increase the diameter to that of the inside of the Q-Loader neck.

Trying to slip something over the outside of the Tippmann neck is impractical. The pinch bolt is also needed to hold the pvc pipe tightly.

Thanks for all the help guys!

dude why don't you email/call race gun asking how they mounted it or if they sell the mount

That's a nice setup, and the tube along the top allows you to easily load up all the extra paintballs even when the qpod spring has done turning.

Spending $100 on something simple like a scope mount should be illegal though.

dude, thats like the same as having a hopper on top of your gun

i thought the point of the q-loader was to get the hopper out of the way to better see down the barrel?
