So I found a good deal on a new Alpha Black Tactical with e-trigger and I also found at the same place a good deal for a new Cyclone feed hopper system from a 98c. I know there is a way to modify the cyclone feed to fit the Alpha Black, but my question is, is it fast enough to keep up with the gun in full auto mode? Also which is recommended and would be better, an electric force feed hopper or the cyclone feeder?

The Alpha Black cyclone is due out soon like in weeks to a month max.

My ABT has a 98c Cyclone and it took minimal modding to get it to fit right. But i'd wait for the ABT cyclone.

I just got my 98 cyclone along with a RT for $70. I feel like crying. The
Cyclone fits great, but its not as easy to mod rt to fit the Alpha Black as I
thought. I'm not sure if its worth it to cut my loss and sell the RT for a
couple bucks, save and buy a 98 e-grip. Or maybe sell my Alpha Black
altogether and buy an e-gripped model.

the ABT released some time in the beginning of the year and some mods are due out this summer. e-trigger upgrade (f you didnt buy the full-auto version), as was said before the cyclone feed fitted for alpha black, all 98 barrels and stocks fit it so none there, theres like a 3-piece mod set(shroud, stock, sling)
