Yes, the X7 and A-5 charging handles are the same.

After comparing the the shroud to the A-5, I determined that with some milling/modding of the front of the A-5 that the shroud could be used. However, the X7 has extra holes for quick strip pins at the front while the A-5 does not. Where the holes are at on the X7, there are bolts/nuts in that location. Those two bolts help maintain tension on the barrel adapter to help keep it from prematurely coming loose. The amount of work that would be required to do this mod is atleast a medium skill level due to the milling/mounting involved.

What material are the Cyclone sprockets (paddles) and ratchet made of?
|
I spoke with Tippmanns R&D section about the Cyclone sprockets (paddles) and the ratchet. Both are made from Pellethane.
Pellethane thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers range from hard to soft and can be fabricated by a variety of methods from injection molding to extrusion to blow molding. These elastomers offer a combination of properties rarely seen in an engineering thermoplastic. Whether you need clarity and abrasion resistance, tensile strength and chemical resistance, or any other combination of properties.
Just as a FYI, the tan colored ratchet is no longer being produced.... that also came from Tippmann.

The X7 Grip won't work on the A-5, and the A-5 grip won't work on the X7.
The push pin holes don't line up, the X7 trigger assembly sit to high for the A-5, the A-5 trigger assembly sits to low for the X7, and the grip frames are styled differently where it mounts onto the receiver halves.

techenigma: No they will not. The actual trigger setups are different between the A5 and the X7. Even the way the entire trigger group/grip fit on the X7 is different than the A5.
There are pictures, and a discussion along these lines here:
A5-X7 Trigger setups
It is toward the bottom of that post

Will the A-5 Vortex, and JCS Jet Click ratchets work in the X7 Cyclone?
|
Yes. All current X7, and A-5 ratchets are interchangable at this time.

What type of Selector switch does the X7 Egrip have?
|
Zues: Viper of Viper Scenarios talked to tippmann today and reported the following on PBNATION. Okay...just in from inside Tippmann...
The "selector switch" will be utilized in the Egrip, but will be a three-position switch.
