Anyone know if they make such a thing??? I dont want the hopper straight over the sight rail... I knew this was going to be a problem when I bought the marker, and I may just have to live with it. But what I am looking for is something that moves the hopper over about 1/2-1 inch or so... Maybe I will see if I can find a pcv elbow or something like that... Maybe a 45 degree elbo would work. But anyone see one of these things??? Its not that I want a diffrent hopper(though a smaller one would be nice... I seem to play with the philosophy that if theres paint in the hopper, fire on.), I just want it moved... I tried searching but didnt see anything..... ------------- Tippman A-5 Flatline Barrel Collapsable Stock Vertically Positioned Tank |

Why? You planning on putting on a scope or something? I know they make offset stands for scopes on the A-5. -------------

Nope theres is a few other things though. 1. Off set rail 2.Hopper heightner(usually found on Ebay or homemade) 3. Use both eyes with the sight. 4. Highly recommended- Get used ot it. I thought it was gonna be a problem with my ADCO hotshot but it isn't after I played with it a few times. I got used to it. Hopper is never in the way because my brain remebers exactly where to place my eye. -------------

theres no such thing, i don't think, you coul make something that makes it go up and over at an angel, which would porbably make you more of a target anyways -------------
