Has anyone heard about the 98 Custom/cyclone feed conversion? Does anyone have pics, or a reliable source? Is it true, or rumor? ------------- Name your poison... |

| Someone a while back posted where I think he did it. There was a thread a while back that someone showed how there was supposed to be a cyclone feed for the 98c coming out in July or something. Search it. |

| cyclone isn't the greatest feed system out there, but i mean... for under the price of some of the better hoppers out there... it will sell. I have a feeling it will sell a lot. |

| I did see the pics of the 98cyclone. Could i buy a cyclone for my 98, or do they only sell 98 with cyclones. Also how much would one cost separate. |

Buy an electro feeder, cheaper and works alot better. Although, the Cyclone looks way better in my oppinion The Halo B with the rip drive works almost the same way..Easyer to put on..Just plug it on..Going to be getting that for my 98 Custom.
Edit: The A-5 can reach 15+ rounds per second..If you actually put the Cyclone on the 98 Custom..I wonder if you could pull that many. -------------

^ Yeah but all those take batteries, So in the long run your saving $$ if you get the cyclone. -------------

| Plus you get alot less chops from the cyclone than any other hopper. |

Considering the Cyclone will be around half of that the cyclone is a much better buy. ------------- 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 |

Dumb huh? Let's see... a typical electro hopper is noisy and if your batteries die they suck. On the other hand a cyclone runs on exhaust gas and never stops working until your gas runs out, or just before it does in the case of my A5. My only concern is the micro supply line has to flex to flop the cylone... I'd be worried it would wear out quickly. I'd be sure to have extra line for repairs. This 98c system will allow the barrel to be cleaned more easily than on the A5. ------------- Xs.
