RAP4 Tacamo Magazine Conversion Kit for A5 Review and Installation by HustlePaintball.com

[@Hustlepaintball06]

Depends on the marker. If it's for a marker with the Cyclone then yes, you can get the Cyclone adapter and/or you can get a standard hopper adapter. So, yes :) to answer your question. -Russell

[@Hustlepaintball06]

This is true. The notch that accepts the stock Salvo shroud raises the shroud slightly above the body rails.

[@Hustlepaintball06]

You're not wasting our time! We're here to help! - Chris

[@Hustlepaintball06]

Nothing off the top of my head. The Tacamo kits are awesome. Just so you know, the Tacamo Conversion Kits are a body kit WITH the conversion. So putting other body kits on there can't be done. It's like putting a spoiler on a spoiler. Pick up the Tacamo and you'll be all set xD That would be my recommendation! Remember that you can also contact us at support@hustlepaintball(.)com with any questions or comments that you may have.

[@Hustlepaintball06]

You can get a hopper adapter for the kit and use a standard gravity or powered hopper.

[@Hustlepaintball06]

It will. Old or new A5, doesn't matter. As long as you have the internals you'll be set. -Russell

[@Hustlepaintball06]

The internals of the markers you mentioned are all very similar and performance will be nearly identical. Milsig makes great mag fed markers and the T68 has a million different options. It all depends on whether you want to build your marker or buy one that is built for you.

[@Hustlepaintball06]

Yup! they'll be back in stock around the end of October to the beginning of November. -Russell

[@Hustlepaintball06]

Yes, with the mag well adapter.

[@Hustlepaintball06]

There are hopper adapter kits that will allow you to use your Cyclone. You cannot use a hopper and mag at the same time.

[@Hustlepaintball06]

A Tippmann G36 rail might work because it will flex a bit but I am not sure it would mount. - Jeff

[@danielbaldwin9866]

They still sell these kits and mine works very well with the new mag well. The kits are built well and not all people have sad stories about them. Plus I don't understand why you would stop selling a brand just because you don't like it. But hey correct me if I am wrong.

[@Hustlepaintball06]

They are the same magazine and will fit with no issues.

[@Hustlepaintball06]

It's easiest on the A5 conversion kit because it's closer to your finger - "it" being the release. The other kits have it further away so it's a little odd releasing them but it's not to bad.

[@Hustlepaintball06]

The conversion kit is for mag fed - no hopper/cyclone is used with this. It eliminates the use for one (with the new Tacamo body). -Russell

[@deep.feeling]

If you do a few adjustments to your box mag it can keep up with 20bps. it does on my a5 rt with sear mod. You have to have good quality paint i use meteor or elixir and it works well

[@Hustlepaintball06]

It does, yes! ^_^ you put the body (conversion kit) onto your existing grip frame. -Russell

[@HT77039]

Can you make a video for the Alpha Black Tacamo Conversion Kit?

[@darkpito5555]

Thanks you for the response, and does this mean i could not attach a g36 rail due to the shround being slightly elevated?

[@Hustlepaintball06]

Once RAP4 makes more and we can get them in, we will :) - Josh

[@darkpito5555]

I have a question , i have hear that when the orignal project salvo shroud is attached with the tacamo kit, it is a little bit offset from the main body. What i mean by this is that the shroud railings are a just a tad higher than the main body rails

[@mikeBURRITO]

nvm i saw it, thanks! i was talkig about the port to install the response trigger... and the cyclone,

[@LogansNerfChannel]

Can you make a video for the 98 conversion kit. I am planning on getting one but am a little ify on the installation part.

[@navyman1945]

what about the velocity screw do you just get a seperate one and put it in

[@StoneSide]

is there going to be a cyclone feed adapter or is it a regular hopper adapter?

[@calinikka4life]

damn thanks i wanted to order it to use it next month . i got a question the internal air kit for the project salvo well it still work with the stock receiver half's?

[@glassimageproduction]

If you can fit a regular grip on there, I'm pretty sure you can fit the HE E-Grip.

[@noshameshane]

yes the magwell is plastic. I have a kit for my BT-4 and tippmann X7.. with a box mag... it works great!

[@Hustlepaintball06]

depends on which gen A5 you have. - erik

[@Hustlepaintball06]

It will work but honestly the fitment that we found for the US Army conversion kits has been a bit lacking. We are hoping that the next release is better built and has tighter tolerances. - Jeff

[@calinikka4life]

can u do the same vid with the project salvo?

[@Yashawarrior]

doesn't the conversion kit come with a specific slot on the side for inserting first strikes tho?

[@JoshuelAdame7]

Can you use the cyclone feed with this installed?

[@Hustlepaintball06]

RAP4 is out till the very end of October :/ so unfortunately we don't have any kits right now but we will soon!! -Russell

[@BANDMANSBAND]

is changing mags easy because it seems far for your fingure to hit the button

[@moricito23]

Do move all the o rings over as we'll?

[@JonoMusic410]

where would the air thru stock go and how would that work

[@Hustlepaintball06]

There is a Conversion kit for it but availability can be thin at times... - Jeff

[@mikeBURRITO]

is there an air port for a response trigger? i mean since you can only shoot 18 balls per mag yous runout of mags super fast... but just for curiosity

[@LogansNerfChannel]

Do you think you will have any before Christmas, I was hoping to get one so I could play in the winter.

[@tysonholliday3918]

if I have an older version of the a-5 and it doesn't have the tombstone latch will affect the kit I ordered?

[@jesse4116]

What would I half to do to get first strike to work?

[@Hustlepaintball06]

Rap4 is out of stock till later in November all the way till February! At the moment we have a few Phenom kits in but that's it for right now :/ Maybe we'll get lucky and get some in really soon here! Who knows.. -Russell Remember that you can also contact us at support@hustlepaintball(.)com with any questions or comments that you may have.

[@Hustlepaintball06]

As long as it's a barrel mount/barrel adapter shroud then it should work with these kits. The older shrouds that came from the back of the marker and/or had the rails that came with it won't work. -Russell

[@darkpito5555]

Do you have a tutorial on how to switch back to using a hopper?

[@Hustlepaintball06]

+Derv Whitestone Follow these steps but in reverse. -Russell

[@Xvl015]

hey can you help me out I have a Alpha Black and I ordered a foregrip and it came with the conversion rail I do not know how to install it nope instructions

[@esegayo]

if i buy this conversion kit for a project salvo can i put the cyclone feed with the conversion kit or i need to put a electric hooper?

[@josephmeszaros6451]

ty sir! I will be ordering RAP4 Box Magazine with Nautilus Drive, Tacamo Magazine Conversion Kit - Tippmann A5, and Trinity A5 Tactical Short Body! Do you recommend any other Bodies?

[@neilsears7674]

Is it possible to rig up a hopper so u can switch between mag fed and hopper ?

[@MrKPolka]

Can you put a body kit shroud on it without any interference?

[@REDXIII1331]

does the MKV kits already have the body polished internal in them already? if not when?

[@MadaraUchiha-dw8ch]

why isnt it recommended to use a RT or E-GRIP with the tacamo? please reply!!!!

[@impactedNEO1177]

Is there a conversion kit for a US Army Project Salvo

[@1911manWHATELSE]

can I still use my flatline barrel with this kit?

[@josevasquez2359]

i have an alpha black, and i would like to convert to a mag feed marker, w/ an air thru buttstock, even the air-in-stock option....wondering if converting will be better than just getting a mag feed marker w/ the air option thats already built? like the T-68 or the Mil-Sim markers....any thoughts?

[@calinikka4life]

wait a min please tell me u got the project salvo version in stock

[@ClicoVision]

How does this work with the project salvo? I've tried looking for videos with the end result but find nada.

[@Hustlepaintball06]

They do not have polished internal portions and we do not expect Tacamo to start this process soon or at all.

[@biggwigg338]

Great review and installation. Could you put up a video or explain how to switch over to hopper via the cyclone adapter kit? Im just curious on how long it would take and if I could do it between games. Thanks

[@Hustlepaintball06]

Thanks so much :) Unfortunately, these kits are no longer available to us, so we won't be doing any other videos on these :( -Ethan

[@skater2052]

what is that barrel you are using in the beginning

[@Teabagz4fun]

When did they start putting O-rings where the cyclone/accessories screw into?

[@Hustlepaintball06]

Are you referring to the valve port? - Ben

[@Teabagz4fun]

I'm guessing yes? I know mine doesn't have the o-ring, and I've been out of the game for a bit...

[@Hustlepaintball06]

The Phenom does have a TACAMO comversion kit to be turned into a mag-fed marker, hopefully they will be back in stock mid-October. You can get extra mags and the kit (which is out of stock everywhere at the moment) at Hustle Paintball. We provide these videos as a platform for our online retail business. Check us out at HustlePaintball(.)com

[@impactedNEO1177]

do have an idea where i could find one.

[@MyOneEyedHorse]

Would the D-Mags work with this?

[@Yashawarrior]

eh, better than have an E-trigger with full auto! lol. Do you guys know if these kits will take D-mags with firststrike in them? Please reply!

[@kamalito7650]

Can you put a response trigger with that mag kit with the a 5

[@Hustlepaintball06]

I would say 'yes' normally, but I think the A-5 response trigger operates in conjunction with the cyclone feed, so it may not work with the magfed system. I can't imagine why an e-trigger wouldn't work, however. - AJ

[@kamalito7650]

Ok thank you can I ask another question on what to get

[@chuchuguate5220]

a question can you use the tacamo conversion kit and the m416 kit for the a 5 plz awnser tnx you guys are great

[@Hustlepaintball06]

You can't use them at the same time :( -Dan

[@chuchuguate5220]

and can you use the centurion core if not what do you recomend to make the converted a5 look like an m416

[@jeffteti730]

Are these back in stock yet on your site?

[@adelystoledo8370]

so were can u get more mag from rap4

[@RobbyOwnz]

How do I pull the mag out of the mag well thingy

[@skater2052]

what barrel are you using in the begining

[@RobbyOwnz]

does it work if i have an egrip on my a5?

[@NivisTigridis]

On other paintball forum I heard that it was supposed to become metal (probably aluminum of something similar). Time will tell.

[@RobbyOwnz]

can i still attach my adjustable stock to it?

[@NivisTigridis]

Is the magwell still plastic?

[@josephmeszaros6451]

Can shrouds still work with this Kit?

[@richardlowrey6741]

Will this work with the old a5?

[@Hustlepaintball06]

Yes, but I can't imagine why you'd use an egrip with a tacamo kit =P -Dan

[@Hustlepaintball06]

I am unsure what you are asking. Could you clarify? -Dan

[@DustySquitoNM]

When you're installing the barrel adapter in the new receiver, is there any kind of indexing on the adapter and/or receiver so you can only put it in perfectly straight? If you're installing a flatline barrel afterwards, that might be a good thing to note.

[@Hustlepaintball06]

Yes, there's a certain way it goes in - can't really mess it up :] Just like the original body. -Russell

[@TUNERJDM]

Now if I dry fire and I don’t hear a click, that means I did something wrong right? 😅

[@lancejeffree2549]

is it true that a lok bolt can could be installed to the vortex kit?

[@Hustlepaintball06]

+Lance Jeffree To be honest, I'm not sure. I'm going to look into it.. -Russell

[@MrHudson555]

have you guys tested the egrip on this? will it work with even like 8bps? haha

[@zachawesome10]

Would the hk416 body shroud fit on the conversion to make a mag fed m4

[@Hustlepaintball06]

I'm not sure to be honest.. I don't think so? Sorry :/ -Russell

[@kl.7768]

Anyone know can I still adjust the velocity after installing Rap4 MK5 kit on the newer Tippmann A5??

[@Hustlepaintball06]

I think there is a conversion kit that you can purchase...but at that point, you're better off purchasing something that is made to shoot first strikes out of the box. -Dan

[@Hustlepaintball06]

That is the draw of mag fed play :) Limited capacity means more tactics and less shooting.

[@waxedjade8641]

do have another link?

[@gsquat3393]

These mags load first strike rounds, yes?

[@Hustlepaintball06]

Yup! :)

[@gsquat3393]

Also, you can still attach the original hopper to the new body, correct? I'd like to fab something to have both hopper and mag attached at the same time with something to allow/ prevent the hopper/mag.

[@Hustlepaintball06]

G Ssquat They sell a hopper adapter that you could use :) -Dan

[@rafaelvalles1383]

where can I get a tacamo magazine conversion kit

[@JosephFire100]

Can I put a stock on after I put this conversion kit in?

[@Hustlepaintball06]

Yes you can! :) -Dan

[@jakexanthony]

Hey I was just curious will the 98c bt4 and sw1 share the same conversion kit?

[@Hustlepaintball06]

They basically are the same kit but be careful because they have been known to not work straight out of the box. - Ty

[@Hustlepaintball06]

We will as soon as they come back in stock... probably in October :(

[@Kdp_Evil_inc]

anyone know if this kit will be compatible with the older model a5 with egrip ?

[@Hustlepaintball06]

I'm not even sure if this kit is available anymore - I'd HIGHLY recommend looking at a Milsig M17 instead of trying to use a Rap4 conversion kit - we've just seen a lot of people with sad stories who've used Rap4 conversion kits, and lots of happy stories of Milsig M17 owners -Ethan

[@ralphiefolf9540]

idk but when i get some spare $ im going to basically build a new gun using this kit all aluminum powertube and front and rear bolt

[@hustlepaintball7821]

Ralphie Fox Not all of these kits are still available, so make sure you can still buy the kit! :) -Ethan

[@Hustlepaintball06]

The D-Mags will work once they are released. More conversion videos will be coming soon.

[@Hustlepaintball06]

Yes - Cromer

[@temper98]

@hustle paint. hey bro the link that u post to.buy the part is no longer available, do u know another place to get that kit. thank you

[@Hustlepaintball06]

No idea - try Rap4 directly. I do think they're doing the Storm Kit now. -Russell

[@leonchance1911]

does anyone know if this is compatible with the responce trigger version a5

[@Hustlepaintball06]

It is, however you probably won't want to use it. You'll go through magazines too quickly :( -Dan

[@leonchance1911]

okay thanks!

[@Hustlepaintball06]

Chance Erickson No problem!

[@Hustlepaintball06]

This should work just fine.

[@RobbyOwnz]

Y don't u sell then any more at hustle paintball?

[@Hustlepaintball06]

These kits aren't built as well as we would've liked...and RAP4 wasn't supplying the level of customer service that we wanted from them. -Dan
