Not my idea and not AGD-related, but a lot of members here own Mini's:

Edit: Actually, it just occurred to me that these would also work very well for Pneumag owners that want to use a drop forward with a sleeper LPR in the frame! Do it!! I will buy one!! :clap: :cheers:
Oh, and thanks to Dave @ Capital Paintball for this. :)

I would buy two. Only issue I see is where do you place the top hole for the air passage/oring. It would be different for every setup.
If somebody wants to do this I can forward the measurements for the GForce Frame air passage hole. :ninja:

Yeah, I suppose it would be kind of specific to the setup.
hmm... I'll have to give it some more thought

Great Idea for those that want a drop. I used to love drops. Now not so much.
I bet you could use that adapter for other things though. Like mounting a warp feed or q-loader to a mini.
Not sure if those types of loaders have been used on a mini yet. If not.... let me patent it first ;)
I dont get what its for. (?)

it's an adapter sorta, redirects the airport from the bottom of the mini frame off to the side, in order to mount a fitting and use any asa/drop u want, im guessing an o-ring seals between the adapter n tha frame
So its similar to what guys are doing to stash a reg in a frame for the pneumag frames.

Kinda. Most guys now are trying to do what a mini already does. Make their asa go directly into the the lpr in the grip. Which means it must be a direct mount asa.
What this adapter does is makes it so you can use a drop but still get the necessary air into the grip.
Isn't that what the pneumag guys are doing?
Machine a spot for an o ring between the grip and asa, dill a hole in the asa at the center of the oring, drill and tap a hole for the reg through the bottom of the frame at the o ring. ??

Yes. That is exactly what the pneumag guys are doing.
BUT
That is how a mini already is.
This is separating the asa from the frame. So a person could use a drop if they wanted too.
I never had my hands on a Mini. ;)

I picked one up in a trade last month.
I only played one game last month and used the Mini.
Fun to play with. Not quite as air efficient as I had heard.
Had 3000 psi in a 45/4500, shot 600 balls, had 1000 left.
My Empire B is almost as big as the marker.
;)
Yea, it would be easy enough to make, but like Looper said the air passage hole location will be an issue...

I haven't been keeping up on all of the sleeper mods, but most of the ones I have seen are CP direct mounts. The location of the hole on that ASA should be pretty well defined. However, there has also been some different designs on o-ring mounting. I think the groove usually gets put on the ASA where it is easy to make, but someone was talking about putting a groove in the bottom of the frame as well.
I guess you could just specify where the hole is in the adapter and people can use it on existing mounts where it works or use it in new designs.
I would do a few on a prepay deal if you guys can figure out what you want. :)
