Can I use a USArmy trigger on the m98 mk frame??

[Matt_Cauthon1]

1) will there be some sort of extended magazine release at some future time and what is the predicted price?

2)will there be a pistol grip upgrade that includes select fire?  my original safety button will not fit and i am wondering about an alternative.

This is not a beta kit (that I know of), it was my final release kit that I waited for more than a year for. I find it hard to believe that something so long in development could come out the way it did with such bad workmanship.

Issues with the 98 kit :

1) The mag well. Both RAP4 and Milsig mags fit very sloppy in the magwell to the point where the detent for the spring release does not depress unless fiddled with continuously.

2) The included trigger group. A mag feed marker is a MILSIM marker and what self respecting MILSIM player is going to want to use a double trigger?

3) Asthetics : the double trigger aside, there is a distinctly unfinished look to the kit without the ergo piece between the mag well and the trigger guard.

I understand that pieces, such as the single trigger group, can be bought aftermarket from RAP4 now which should have been more clearly stated that the kit DIDN'T include when showing pictures of the markers with the kits installed.

Overall I'd have to say that the 98 kit is absolute junk. Probably the best way to ruin a perfectly good Tippmann, magfeed or not.

Tacamo respects your love for the Tippmann® 98®…and your desire to try out the hot new magazine-only game formats, like at “Operation: End War,” and an increasing number of events across the country. When you want to get that hopper out of your way, open up your field of vision, improve the balance and natural point of aim of your marker, and get rocking with a true mil-sim piece that not only looks but also reloads and points the same as the real thing, you need the Tacamo Magazine Conversion Kit.

It works with the Tippmann® 98® you already own—that’s the beauty of this revolutionary aftermarket accessory.

Disassemble your Tippmann® 98®, and follow the included instructions to transfer the internal parts to the Tacamo Magazine Conversion Kit. After assembly, you’ll have a marker that retains the heart and soul of the Tippmann® 98® you know and love, but accepts detachable magazines instead of ugly, noisy, bulky hoppers.

Then you can rock 20 rounds at a time, making every shot count like a pump player…but relying on the semi-auto firepower of your trusted marker, and the spring-fed reliability (a ball in the chamber every time—no matter the rate of fire, or angle of the marker) of the RAP4 magazine.

Tacamo’s engineers have been working on this kit for a long time, getting the compatibility perfect…and then focusing on the aesthetics outside. The Tippmann ® 98® Magazine Conversion Kit retains the original marker’s ergonomics, but updates the aesthetic slightly with a Magpul-inspired magazine housing in front of the trigger guard. Trick out your newly reconfigured Tippmann® 98® with tactical rails, collapsible stock—all the accessories you already own, or, get some new ones to complete the look—and you can build a magazine-fed M4, or other real world –inspired tactical marker!

If you want the advantages and aesthetics of a magazine fed marker, but without sacrificing the onboard paint capacity of a hopper, pick up a RAP4 Box Magazine and put 250 balls onboard your marker.

When you’re serious about woodsball, mil-sim, looking authentic or just having fun, you need to take your Tippmann® 98® to the next level with Tacamo!
