but i cant find a compatible air-through buttstock anywhere? ive seen them on pictures, buttstocks like the original AB stock but with a quick-connect knob sticking down in the front of the stock.
anybody know anything?

OK nocturnal...first of all...are you in the U.K.? By your search above, it would indicate that you are.
Here is what you are looking for...it is a Solid Remote Adapter that will allow you to use your own M4 style buttstock. Just take the one off that is currently on your marker and slide it on to the remote adapter. When I ordered mine from Rap4 they sent me the Milspec one and I had to sand the inside of my buttstock down to make it slide over the tube nicely.
Another trick is, is that you will need to take a tank o-ring and place it in between the remote adapter and the end plate of the internal air line in order for he remote adapter and buttstock to seat properly.
wow that looks awesome! thanks man! im actually in sweden but yeah, i order from the uk:) is that the tacamo mag fed upgrade you have? do i need that in order to get the internal air?

Yep...i assumed you already had the MKV magfed kit. The MKV Internal air kit is useless without having the Tacamo magfed kit as it is specifically plummed for that kit. I do not believe they make an internal air kit specific to the Alpha Black or Salvo. But I have seen guys you have modded their own.
EDIT: I've talked to both the usa and the uk now i got i all sorted out! i will have to get the mkv magfed kit for alpha black in order to get the internal-air, like you said, or i could hard mod my alpha black reciever. gonna give it a long good thought, hehe:) Thanks again for your help!

yep....read the print in the description and you will see the following,
"This kit includes all the pieces required to adapt your Tacamo MKV (Tippmann 98, US Army Carver 1, Operation Salvo, Alpha Black, or BT-4) to an air-through configuration! Check the video tutorial on this page for easy installation instructions, and upgrade your marker today!"
Yep...you buy the MKV kit and the internal air system and you will have what I posted for a picture. (minus the trigger guard).
If you get the kit, be sure to give me a shout with any questions you may have...I love my mag fed kit!
Here is some youtube goodness to get you drooling:
damn bro it sure looks tempting! what kind of trigger guard comes with the kit originally? also, can i still use my tippmann e-trigger with the mag fed receiver? or do i have to get a new board aswell?

Ok! can i still have use of my standard e-trigger board? and is the cyclone feeder completely out of the question with the tacamo receiver? sorry about the million questions..

Yes...your e-trigger board will work...you will have to check with RAP4 to find out if they send an adapter for the cyclone. they did not with mine....but the custom 98 kit did come with the adapter. check out the video for a full explanation.
Here is another video in regard to some of the issues I ran into with the initial kit:
Remember...they have made some changes since I received my kit.
Thanks man this helped alot! i really hope they've fixed all the problems by now... felt a bit iffy when i saw people having all these different small issues with their kits.. especially when dont live in us or uk and would've been completely stuck if i were to miss some parts or get something wrong..
