   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 http://www.model98.net - 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 had a friend who had the same problem, he just kept a roll of duct tape in his gear bag and everytime he would juss duct tape itand it worked fine. But it's up to you.

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.
