Installing a Shoulder Stock - Tippmann and US Army [98, A5, X7, Phenom, Alpha Black, Carver One, Project Salvo]
To assemble a stock on a 98 series gun, please follow the disassembly procedures in your gun manual. You will need to remove the End Cap and insert the stock into the slots where the End Cap was. You need to align the tab on the top of the stock with the slot in the receiver halves to match the spring hole(s) correctly with the body and spring(s).
If you have an older 98, pre ACT, your receiver halves may not have the alignment slot milled into them. The new style stocks have a top alignment tab. You may need to remove this tab to get the stock to fit the older style. Easily done with a hobby knife.
To assemble a stock on an A-5, please follow the disassembly procedures in your gun manual. You will need to remove the 2 rear Push Pins, then the End Cap. Make sure the Guide Pin and Drive Spring insert into with the hole in the front of the stock when installing the stock into the body, then re-install the Push Pins.
To assemble a stock on an X-7, please follow the disassembly procedures in your gun manual. You will need to remove the 2 rear Push Pins, then the End Cap. For X-7, non Phenom, make sure the Guide Pin and Drive Spring insert into with the hole in the front of the stock when installing the stock into the body. Then re-install the Push Pins.
