 Topic: the ACTPosted: 28 April 2006 at 3:06pm |

So this act stuff that tippmann is releasing for the 98 is pretty sweet. The only problem is when i called tippmann they told me that you can't buy the kit. You have to buy the whole gun. To me that sucks because first i have to buy the gun then i have to carry everything over to the new gun. Has anyone ever found the ACT kit for the 98c? If so where and how much. I would love to just find the kit and install it myself. |

Tippmann said they didnt sell a kit, so how would we be able to find one.
Settle down grasshopper, there will be a kit out soon enough. Edited by You Wont See Me - 28 April 2006 at 3:43pm |

But with the ACT, you have to do some perfect moding by drilling a hole in the stock because of the extra ACT spring. If the hole isn't perfectly spaced or at the right angle, it won't work properly. It took me about 2 hours to drill the hole and about half of that time was actually installing the stock, heres a pic.

Does anyone have a pic of the internals w/ ACT??
I could be wrong, but I think inorder to use the ACT on an older 98 you would have to mill out your internals to make space for the new cocking rod. |

Actually I'm correct. You would have to modify the internal milling on an older receiver. Which means its very likely a kit won't ever be made available for older 98's.
Go here and check out the internals: http://www.tippmann.com/product_guide/actTechnology.aspx |

that really sucks man. I really don't want to have to buy a new tippmann just to have this upgrade. I am already planning on doing that with another gun i have. What kinda barrel is that Bird-dog?? Edited by krazyk - 29 April 2006 at 8:07pm |

Do you really shoot your guns THAT fast that you need a ACT??? I think they should've come out w/ this on 98's that had response triggers/e-triggers on them, not just plain ol' 98's, b/c you're really not shooting it like an elec. gun stock.

The stock hopper is still prone to jamming up, and causing breaks.

Actually i am breaking balls in my 98. It has the response on it and i'm also using the cyclone which loads the balls faster than stock. |

yea the problem with a kit is 1 the new hole for the spring and 2 the
linking rod is different and so is the gun milling cause it slides down into the rear bold if unobstructed. |
