Vert Bottle on an Intelliframed Minimag? Help me!

[ThePixelGuru]

So here's the deal. I run my Minimag with a Qloader and vert bottle. I picked up an Intelliframe, and now I can't screw a bottle into the vert ASA because the burst disk hits the trigger guard.

I found some ASA extenders (here and hereASA Extender + Smart Parts On/Off Adaptor ($15 + shipping, $14 + shipping)
+ Smart Parts On/Off Adaptor (out of production, $14 + shipping)
($50 + shipping)
luke's Short Straight Foregrip Extender ($25 + shipping)

you can get a foregrip extender from luke of lukescustoms.com and its should work out. check it out

You could always swith the valve on your tank to an on/off valve. Unfortunately, the best on/off is a Smart Parts one, in my experiences, this would alleviate the need for a pin depressor and allow you to use one of the 15* asa's. The only other option I could think of is one of the fore grip extenders Made by Luke or the older variety like the one offered by KAPP.

I know ive seen c02 bottles with on/off's on them, so you dont need the pin in the ASA.. try looking for that. AND MAKE SURE TO HAVE A CERTIFIED AIRSMITH INSTALL IT.

I'm aware of the on/off valves and the safety issues, but thanks for the input. Safety first!

EDIT: Ooh, spiffyfind

[mostpeople]

well that was the only thing I could think of..

run remote?

[ThePixelGuru]

No, thanks, I can trip and fall on my own just fine, no help needed.

That was going to be my next suggestion, found it here:

that combined with Luke's ingenuity would suit you perfectly

The double trigger frame is usually for higher rates of fire (and some tired or large fingers). Small vert CO2 bottles (200 shots) don't seem very practical for either extended firing or high rates of fire. There's a pic around somewhere of a 12oz vertical bottle, but intelliframe + vert CO2 doesn't seem to be a very common problem IMO.

I have seen one or two metal framed (single trigger) mags that had the trigger guard cut off, double trigger installed, and re-annoed, that looked nice. Since you don't need the guard with the bottle there, it would be a way to keep your bottle up tight and not dangling low.

Yes, I bought the double trigger to increase my rate of fire and to ease the trigger pull. Gas capacity doesn't concern me as I don't see my shot total rising much - I wanted the higher rate of fire to snap off a 3-shot burst and get back behind my bunker faster, not so that I could put more balls in the air over a sustained period of time. I also own a 9oz and two 12oz CO2 bottles and a 45/5k Evil Scion, so it's not like I can't take more gas on the field with me if I want. I've thought a lot about my ideal rig and come up with something useful and (apparently) unique, which is probably why I'm running into this issue.

Don't like the look, don't like the safety issues, don't like chopping up my new Intelliframe, and don't like the field legality issues. As tempting as it is to solve this problem through the application of a hacksaw, I'm gonna pass.

Thanks for the advice, but I really don't need my rig redesigned, I just need to get a bottle on it. This is taking so long because I'm pretty uncompromising with this setup; if I wasn't, I've already have slapped a foregrip extender on the thing and been done with it. If anyone sees anything that's gone unmentioned here, post it up!

Yeah, when I said one or two that I liked, I meant one or two out of many. And those were classic frames only.
