Just picked up a 98C. Flatline and collapsible stock are in stalled. Any Feedback on the Cyclone Feeder / Vertical Expansion and Response Trigger?

I dont want a double trigger, i think the response will up the BPS enough.

Any Feedback on the Cyclone Feeder the cyclone feed is a great feeder especially since you dont have to worry about batteries and it spins each time you fire so you dont have to worry about jams / Vertical Expansion you may want to look into the palmers stabilizer. It costs more but is much more effective and can work with both CO2 and HPA if you ever decide to switch. It will also keep the pressure more constant than an expansion chamber would. I had an expansion chamber on my A5 when I ran CO2 and did not have a noticeable difference. and Response Trigger The response trigger is nice as long as you tune it right. Also if you plan on switching to HPA ever I would recommend getting the egrip instead just because the response is harder to tune and sweet spot with HPA than it is with CO2. Also check you local fields as some do not allow the RT since it can go full auto at any time you want as long as you find the sweet spot.?

I dont want a double trigger dont get a double trigger with the RT. I have heard some mixed reviews on it but for the most part people tell me that the RT doesnt work as well with the double triggers because there is more weight in the trigger for the RT to push back, i think the response will up the BPS enough If you find the sweet spot and have either a good loader or the cyclone you will put down ropes of paint..

Many thnks for the wuick reply and detailed feed back. I only play 5-8 times a year, hence my delay in actually "purchasing" a Marker. I'll definately look into the Palmer Stabilizer, and see what I can find out about those. I'll probably run CO2 for the forseeable future as far as I can tell.

is tuning an RT an indepth process?

(and the range I play at has no issue with what people bring into the facility as long as you play like and adult...no pin-down-violent-acts of aggression).

If you are putting an RT/Cyclone and also using a stabilizer or expansion chamber, I would suggest upgrading to 1/8" lines and fittings. I have nearly the same setup on my 98 and had some issues before upgrading. Here is the link:

You can also get other things such as the RT etc there as well. However, look into Ebay stores too. Sometimes they are considerably cheaper.

oldpnoob,

agian, thanks for the rapid reply. I'll look into the 1/8th inch lines. I'll assume they can't be that hard to put in.

Yes, very easy. You literally unscrew the one and put on the other. In your case, since you are adding everything new, you would just put these on instead of the ones that come with the RT/Cyclone. If you do not get the upgrade, you will have to buy a kit with a T valve anyways and it will run you at least $5. Might as well spend the extra 15 for the piece of mind.

Obvious word of advice when buying online is trying to find someone that has several items you need. It's hard to resist the "deal' sometimes, but when you start adding in shipping the deal isnt so hot a lot of times.

Oh, and while I am handing out advice. Get a "small parts kit". It comes with all the O-rings, an extra ball detent and some other little things that tend to get lost/wear out. Also pick up some tank O-rings. Buy em in bulk. You will need them.
