   Anybody know how I can get the hopper neck on my 98c to be more stable?  The rattling is starting to get annoying.

Use a standard o-ring used for your co2 bottle, wrap it around the feedneck.

Put it just below where the paintballs would feed into the breach.

Or check out www.model98.net if you have trouble understanding

Ya I did the same thing but my friend used a rope to stop it from rattling, but he also used the rope as a thing to hold his sling.

I got one side of the oring to be locked on to one side(where the pins are) of the feedneck. I then stretched the other side over to the other side of the feedneck. Its snug and hasn't snapped yet. It works perfectly with an oring!

Note: Non-stock feeds rattle even worse than the tippmann stock one.  Use rubber bands for them.

I wasn't aware putting an o-ring over the feedneck was an ultimate decision.

i was a skirmish and i saw that all their guns had a band on them that prevented the hopper from wobbling or from falling off so i did the same to my hopper. here are some pics.
