    Posted: 02 April 2009 at 3:14am
I just bought myself an Alpha Black, I love the maker but I have a few questions.

I bought the marker with the egrip and cyclone upgrades already done.
The first question I have is, there is no hole on the carry handle to install a rail for a scope mount.
I assume I need to drill a hole.  What size hole should I drill?  Approximately where on the carry handle
would you recommend?

Secondly, I was wondering if anyone has tried to mod the Alpha Black with a Flex air system from Rap4 to use air through the stock, contained in the stock?

Lastly, I read somewhere that CO2 is not good for the AB with E grip, is that true?  What is best to use?

Thanks in advance.

I assume I need to drill a hole.  Yes.  What size hole should I drill?  Compare to the mounting bolt and choose the corresponding drill bit size. Better to start smaller than bigger. Approximately where on the carry handle would you recommend? This is pretty subjective. Mount it where you think it looks good.

Lastly, I read somewhere that CO2 is not good for the AB with E grip, is that true?  What is your definition of "not good for" ?  Will it damage the E-grip, no.  Wil HPA give more consistent velocity and eliminate freeze over? Yes. What is best to use? Google search HPA vs CO2 and there are several articles on the subject. You can also look through the Stickies in the forums on this site and there is useful info on HPA vs CO2.

Thanks in advance.
