I made an adapter for my Ebolted X7, but only because it was low pressure.
To use a feedneck you have to remove the 'Hook' from the shell. That is pemanent,
and to go back to a Cyclone you'd need to buy a new receiver half.
I would stay with the cyclone.
Steel frame, the elbow is 5/8" copper 90o elbow threaded for an Ion Q-lock.

Something like my AKA5 w/DYE Rotor?

I use to have the Qloader on my A5 a couple of years ago (pic below), so I took the parts I had, Gorilla Glued them together with a Clamping Feed Neck I bought from a Pro Shop.  ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

Before you begin, you do realize that the Feed Arm and both the Tabs have to be Permanently Removed from the X7 Body. So if you dont have a problem of removing the Tabs and the Feed Arm, then go here http://www.qloader.com/upgrades.html - http://www.qloader.com/upgrades.html and order the following  X7 Feed Adapter
 90* Elbow Feed
A Clamping Feed Neck of your choice. Gorilla Glue Dremel Tool or similar with a Grind Tip to grind away excess Gorill Glue when its been dried. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

| i managed to get the adapter and 90 degree elbow on with some super glue, i was wondering what type of clamping feed neck would be best to attach onto the 90 degree elbow and a dye rotor? |
