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. ------------- For I will wander to and fro, I'll go where I no one do know, |

| Yeah the 250 Round hopper is sold at Opsgear and its flat on one side so you can mount a sight. |

I'd suggest an offset siterail as well. http://www.countypaintball.com/product_description.asp?item=3137 - 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. http://bp-usa.com/accessories.htm - http://bp-usa.com/accessories.htm ------------- A-5 Armson DOT Sight Armson Raised Sightrail DOP Bullet Drop DOP RVA DOP X-Core DOP Vertical Adapter E-Grip(APE) Flatline Barrel HPA JCS Duel Trigger Lightening Bolt QEPH Vortex Mod |

ok the hopper fits and the scope fits the problem is twisting the hopper to unlock it while the scope is on
