I've seen one on eBay before. Some guy is trying to make a business selling them.

If you pick your shots woodsball style instead of spamming balls you might be able to use this product:

It may give you the space you need.

just put some flame to your hopper and bend the hopper where you need it, do it while its hot!!!

This is what I was thinking of and what you probably were too.

Thanks guys. i am going with the ebay guy. two reasons. reviews on the lapco offest rail mount do not favor it too well. while it seems that it fits very tightly and looks awsome with the gun, those two things do not affect the actual preformance of the mount. reviews say the its hard to find a center with your sight that is true over differrent distances. secondly, i already bought and paid for the ebay hopper mod and its was shipped before i saw the past about the side rail mount. thanks again, i'll let yo know how it works this wekend.

i tried the hopper extention from the ebay guy this weekend and i have to say, it worked well. no jams, i got plenty of compliments on it and people asking where i got it. and what about the durability you ask? as tough as nails. my hopper got hit plenty of times, as will as the part hopper extention. its a rubber flexible tube basically that help up to everything and will to anything, i couldn't pull it off if i wanted to. i reccomend to any A-5 owners, in need of a soultion like i did. and half the price of the offset rail adapter for the sight.
