4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely a worthwhile upgrade, August 6, 2008

Unlike many upgrades, the Rocket Cock requires no disassembly of your marker - pop off the rubber bolt cover, remove the rear bolts, and slap this baby on with the included new bolts.

The design keeps dirt out of the marker's internals, which is one of very few gripes I have with the 98 (the open bolt design makes it easy to oil but lets all sorts of stuff in there). Also, once you cock it, you return the handle back to the full forward position (or wait for it to happen when you fire), where it stays until you have to manually cock the gun again, so you don't have the handle protruding out the back.

The only drawback I've had with this product is that if you have a stock on your marker that is not flush with the side (such as some of the CAR stocks that have a tightening bolt on their shaft) the Rocket Cock will either rub against it or get stuck. If you are playing with a flush stock or no stock, though, this will save you a lot of headaches caused by dirty internals.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very useful and easy mod, August 28, 2008

This review is from: Tippmann 98 Custom Sealed Bolt Paintball Rocket Cock (Misc.)

Look at the picture. That's all the parts. So for those of you who aren't technically inclined, you can still do this modification with no trouble.

Basically what the Rocket Cock does is cover that open slot in the back where your bolt is. Pop off the protective rubber cap on the bolt handle, remove the bolts already in the gun, slip the rocket cock over the hole, put in the new bolts, and you're done.

This upgrade keeps out all the debris that would otherwise get in that slot, which will make marker maintenance MUCH easier. Also, once you pull the ring back to cock the gun, it returns to the forward position (the one you see in the picture), so outside nothing is moving. This lessens the chance of something getting caught, which is painful if that something happens to be attached to you.

My one, very minor, complaint is that the Rocket Cock handle lies nearly flush to the body of the marker, which means it will rub against almost any stock you put on the 98 (because most of those stocks have a ring you need to tighten to secure the stock, and those rings tend to be a millimeter or two thicker than the 98's body). This can make the initial cock difficult or keep the Rocket Cock ever so slightly not flush to the surface.

All in all though, the benefits far, far outweigh the drawbacks. The 98 is already a workhorse, but this simple mod makes it even more user-friendly and longer-lasting.

Delivered on time and simple to instal the hardware. It keeps debris from entering the marker behind the bolt and also covers the bolt pin so that it will not get caught on anything. I was hoping it would be sealed airtight to the gun when installed but there are parts of the lip that water or debris could seep through but it is still better than nothing and if it really does concern you, you can find some window draft guard sealer and close it all off but I wont recommend it because I think that it needs an air gap there because the marker sucks in air there when the bolt goes forward and opens the void and then blows it back out when it returns the bolt. Preventing air movement by sealing it off totally could plausibly cause the gut to "choke". If you have fired the 98 with your right thumb too high against the left side of the gun due to firing form an odd position, your thumb probably got a good whak from the pin flying past it. This modification also prevents a mishap like that. 2 thumbs safely up.
