Greetings,
I have an old Automag Classic powerfeed. Currently, the only modification to it is a vertical foregrip. I recently purchased a 68ci/3000 steel alloy HPA tank (PMI Pure Energy), and right now my 'mag is severely backheavy.
I'd like to drop the tank down and forward, but I'm having trouble deciding what kind of drop forward to get. I want a drop forward that will center the weight pretty much directly under the trigger gripframe. I'd also like to have an on/off ASA hanging off the drop forward so I can depressurize the marker without having to remove the tank.
If y'all out there have some good suggestions regarding drop forwards and on/off ASAs that would balance well, by all means fire off a reply to this post.
Now, on to problem number 2. ;)
Once I've got the tank dropped down and forward, I still need to route the hose from the ASA to the AIR valve. I'm not objectionable to replacing the current foregrip with a gas-through model if that will help. I'd prefer to use braided hose rather than macroline because I still occasionally have to use CO2 when I play. And to make things a little more challenging... I'm left handed so what might be comfortable for a right handed person may not work for me. If y'all have any suggestions as to how I might route hose without turning my 'mag into something looking like snakes having a spaghetti fight, by all means let me know.
Heck, if someone out there has a picture of a classic powerfeed automag with a drop forward to balance a 68/3000 tank, by all means post the URL. :)
Thanks muchly,
BJJB99
