| I currently own a custom 98 super RT and I want to purcase an A-5. At first I thought that the RT would convert fine but after calling tippmann and seeing pictures, i made a fool out of myself. When I called tippmann, they said that the A-5 RT has many more parts and that you would have to purchase them individually. So I am wondering if any of you know which parts are needed? If it adds up too high, I met as well just sell the RT and get and e-trigger, but thats not really within my budget lol. |

what's wrong with the 98? i think you would just need a "T" fitting and a piece of hose to convert it but i'm not for sure ------------- http://img76.imageshack.us/my.php?image=stickemup6of.jpg">

Yep, buy the cyclone. That way you'll have the same firepower as an A5 w/o spending the $220.

alrite thx for ure help but honestly im not worried about the money cause the A-5 looks sick but what I need is a parts list. Does nybody got a parts list for the A-5 response so I can figure out how much it will cost 2 replace the RT parts. |

go to tippmannparts.com and check in the "a-5 response trigger" section.

thx for that site. Perfectly solved all problems. But As I was going 2 buy the A-5, the manager of the store said they are not making A-5's anymore. Tippmanns new line up is coming out in a few months so Ill wait. This time tho, tippmanns will not be made in the USA, but in Asia ( as expected, not that I have a problem with that at all * azn pride*) Thx for all the help tho peeps. Ill just use my 98 till then |

that's hard to believe. I have a strong feeling he's making that up. Tippmann is not one to stop production of a successfull marker... look at how many versions of the 98 there are!

i highly doubt they would stop production too. What i should have said was newer version like the 98 custom pro possibly for the A-5 |

i've heard of a-5s with new barrel adaptors and rear bolts... that's not exactly discontinuing it though..
