It will be 1 1/2 cm thick too. 
It should feel pretty close to a Unimount. It drops the tank 1cm, and moves it forward about an inch and a half. Nothing major. I would make it go forward a little more, but I am afraid the burst disk on CO2 canisters would prevent the tanks from screwing in. My HPA tank would clear it.

I am playing with the idea of dropping it down another cm or so, and i could move it forward about one more inch. Imput?

Where can i buy raw aluminum to make this with?

	Why metric measurements? Most parts on paintguns are designed for imperial measurement. For example, the distance between the 10-32 holes on bottomline is exactly .75". You can buy raw material from Enco, theyre my supplier of choice for metals. http://www.use-enco.com

	I just prefer metric i guess. I found it was exactly 2 cm. Although, they are both very close measurements. Edit: 2.cm = 0.787400007inch I will convert it to american if you prefer. Edit2: I rechecked, and it seems to me that 2cm is a little bit more accurate than .75 inch. I dont know. Would you please check, because I KNOW that you have made many more things to do with ASA's and drops(hell, things in general) Edited by Frobs - 03 August 2006 at 8:35pm
