    Asa?

    Do they make an ASA that will mount to the front of an AM/MM rail that is at a 90*?

        Yeah, i got what you meant, i know they make them so have hope, because i've seen people that have them on their mags, but i can't for the life of me remember who it was or where he got it. All i know is he was trying to make a mag that you could holster and it had a 90* adapter with a quick changer and a ten round feed tube, if anyone knows what i'm talking about that person could probably help him.
        Il n'y a point de sots si incommodes que ceux qui ont de l'esprit.

          I'm pretty sure that was on pbnation in the airgun picture thread you can see a picture of it.

          Some people just use an rt pro foregrip extender and tap a screw or two through it into a normal asa laying on its side.
          Others just use a normal asa and drill and tap it from the top through the rail.
          But the easiest method and I think the one you are looking for is just a dovetail asa (like those used on bottomlines) you would have to make your own hole and tap it for the screw (I think it's a 1/8).

              thnx for the link, not quite what Im looking for, I want it to be as close to the barrel as possible. Im planning on mounting a 12g changer there, so I wanna keep it all tight.

                Then I might suggest drilling and tapping the VA at the front of it (under the barrel) in the same spot as where the valve-line goes in. You could use an old Spyder-type VA that's 1/8 NPT threaded at the small end and takes a bucket changer at the large end.

                Or something like this http://www.palmer-pursuit.com/cart/i...roducts_id=223 but you will need a 1/8" Male/Male adapter to add it to the VA found here http://www.palmer-pursuit.com/cart/i...products_id=16

                Thread that adapter into the hole you cut into the VA and the asaonto that. The bucket/dropout changer will screw right into the larger VA-threaded end...but I'd think that the 90* I posted earlier would be a better choice. There's going to be a lot of action - twisting, pressure, etc - on those particular parts. I doubt the 1/8" aareas will take a lot of use like that.

                  Then just buy a ASA (on/off or what ever) and drill the front of the rail and install.
