Can I put the new style A5 grip with selector switch on my older A-5?

Absolutely!  The A5 went through a design change awhile ago.  This is the newer grip with a selector switch safety.  This newer A5 is referred to as the 2011 A5.  So, Yes.   The A5 2011 Mechanical grip shown below is backwards compatible with the pre 2011 A5 markers.  This exact grip shown will also accept the response trigger kits but it will NOT accept the electronic boards.  This grip is the mechanical version and does not have the battery compartment built in.

Can You Put a Response Trigger (RT) Kit on a Phenom?

NopeNopeNope.  The Tippmann Response Trigger (RT) Kit for X7‘s is designed for the original X7’s with blowback style operation.  The newer X7 Phenom, sometimes just referred to as the Phenom, has a completely different type of valve system that is not compatible with how the RT kits work.  If you want to upgrade your mechanical Phenom trigger you can convert it to electronic with an E-Grip kit.

With any Tippmann X7 Paintball Gun purchased you can get a FREE Tippmann X7 Response Trigger or a FREE Tippmann X7 Flatline Barrel. Now here’s the cool parts.

But at TippmannParts.com there is no wait and no mail-in rebate. Just choose the upgrade you want when you purchase the X7 gun. We’ll ship it at the same time a your gun. If you want, we can even install the Flatline or RT kit and test the gun before it ships out so you’re guaranteed to have everything working properly and ready to play when you take it out of the box.

This special is good on any of the Tippmann X7 guns including our already cheap packages and X7 gun Kits like the X7 M16. Just choose your free accessory. It’s that easy. Now just so you know . . . Since we’re taking care of the rebate part for you, you will NOT receive a mail-in rebate form and the UPC will be removed from your X7 Gun box.

The Tippmann X7 is one of the most versatile guns you can get.  You can make it look anyway you want.  This promo is a great way to get the gun and some cheap upgrades.  If you’ve been thinking about an X7, now is the time to buy.
