What you need is an offset sight rail, which are available from most larger paintball retailers. You can modify the hopper, but it isn't easy to do, and it lowers the capacity somewhat. I saw a thread on this mod at the A5OG forum.

I'd suggest an offset siterail as well. http://www.countypaintball.com/product_description.asp?item= 3137 This second link is to the accessories page of JCS. Scroll down about a third of the way and you'll find it. The black annodized 3" offset site rail #75433 should work too. |
