    Putting a red-dot sight on Minimag

    Anyone know how I could get a red-dot sight on my minimag? I'd like to make my Minimag into a "sniper"

          The standard "winged" rail is in fact a scope mount. Depending on the optics you want to mount you can do it on the side of the marker too.

            A standard old school 'Mag rail has sight rails molded into the sides. A lot of people miss that.

            A couple of years ago just for the hell of it I wanted to see how many sights I could put on my 'Mag...

              I use to have a red dot sight on my powerfeed mag. The best method is to get a mag sight rail. They usually slide on over the body from the back. Even then you might want to use a raised set of scope rings to get your red dot higher to see past the powerfeed tube. Inside the rings, put a couple of spacers to raise the back of the scope/red dot. This makes it easier to sight the red-dot. If you don't raise the back, you will be near the limits of the setting to compensate for the trajectory of a paintball gun.
              Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

                Did you know that the AM/MM rail is machined as a mount along both sides?
