Anybody with X-7's? Question????

[Snapshot]

Hey i was wondering if anyone knows what all will transfer from my A-5 to an X-7? I think i heard the barrel threads are the same right? Is the stocks and all that different? Thanks guys!

I believe u can put a stock from a a-5 to a x-7 and yes the barrel

Only the barrels, Hopper, Power Tube, Front Bolt, Rear hammer, and Ball detents are shared.

If you are looking at an X7 you should look more towards the new X7 Phenom. The Phenom is the new Electronic Spool Valve X7 instead of the usual blow back design which uses less air and holds a tighter grouping. Besides that the grip is electronic and mechanical.

There is a huge group at X7OG.net that can answer any other questions you may have. I'm gussing you are already a member of the A5OG.net.

Thought about selling my X7 and getting an X7 Phenom but not willing to take a loss.

The OG stands for Operators Group not Original Gangster. LOL

Thanks awwshoot! Yeah that's what i'm kinda planning on is the phenom and fix it up. I like the fact of a easier battery change and the switch from battery power to mechanical is cool too. So i take it the stock end of the gun is a little different style on the x-7 or what? I am probly switching over what i can and sell the 5 or keep as backup. We'll see

The spacing is different on the Pins for the A5 and X7. The A5 would be too small to fit on the X7.

If you get sick of the skinny 9mm clip on the Phenom, DHallak from X7OG started his own business (Scenario Arms) creating after market parts for the regular X7 and the X7 Phenom. He just finished a 5.56 mag and mag well.

I have a SCAR Stock made by him coming and can't wait. It not only extends and collapses but also folds along side for those times you need to tuck the marker in closer to your body. Even has an adjustable cheek rest but I'm not sure how useful it will be when wearing a mask. He just wanted to make as close to an exact replica of the Gen 3 SCAR stock as he could.

Reading this thread blew my mind. I know nothing of tippmanns. But a spool valve tippy. Why? What's the cost? If it's more than 175. Buy a dm4. Prolly weighs the same. Dm is a machine gun. I mean it operates like a machine gun. Not looks like a machine gun with a clip and a grenade launcher. Ha

The X7 Phenom lists for $399 but it's all user prefference here.

The Spool Valve X7 Phenom has less kick and operates at I think it was 300psi instead of 800psi (I have my regular X7 regulated down to 650psi and the cyclone still spins just fine) Those who have tested the Phenom say it holds much better groupings due to the shanges they made especially due to the new valve design. I also like the Cyclone vs an electronic hopper.

Personally I, along with quite a few others I know, prefer a Milsim marker. It's just the way we are and how we get our kicks or ..well.. decide to sling our paint. Oh and no I don't think the Milsim markers make us any better players, it's just how we have fun.

Thanks to Soger though I think I have just as much fun if not more running 8 balls at a time with my Tiberius.

Yea I'd love to have an EGO but I think those are overpriced at $1000+ and you still have to buy an electronic hopper. The EGO will weigh probably a 1/4 of what the X7 does though.

Bring whatever you choose whether its MilSim or Speedball orientated and we will all have just as much fun.

Hey awwwshoot. For 399 I'll get ya an 06 ego. And I'll even throw in an electro hopper. And if it seals the deal i'll duck tape a wooden stock to it ?

[Awwshoot]

Only if you use the black ducktape instead of the Silver stuff!!

ROFL!!!! Thanks Levi

Maybe someday I'll get a lighter Speedball marker but not for a while. Yeah they have called my name many times, especially after holding Dan's featherweight 09 EGO.

Dan may seem like he is showing off his marker but what he is really doing is trying to drag me over to the Dark Side!!



Yep She likes the X7 too. LOL

Sorry for the thread Hijacking Chad!

That's ok. Yeah, i've always been into scenario guns too. I seen the new etek 3 now and could get a camo version. Hmmm, i don't know. Choices i tell ya. Hey, Levi, what kind a deal on some ego or etek camo edition and a dye rotor green/black?
