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.

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. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

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.  ------------- I need smallers sigs. AVIATOR GANG
