This is my Alpha Black. Its not much right now i havnt really had the chance to mod it. The only thing i was able to do was add the custom picatinny rail. I say its custom because i made that rail in the machine shop i work at. I think the next thing i will do is make another one to fit on the carry handle so i can mount a red dot. And sorry that the picture is kinda blurry it was taken on a camera phone.
NEW: This is the Upgraded Version Currently. I am still going to add the cyclone.

He said mount a red dot. So he should be fine. Red dots are perfect for close range quick sight in and engagements. -------------

Well if you have a Machine Shop as your disposal...
I was looking at the way the Airline to the ABT goes and I think if you where to re route it so it comes out just where that lil nub is at the front of the Magazine well you could rig a 16OZ CO2 tank under the Hand guard M203 style. have it mount to a bracket that reinforced inside the halves of the M-4 hand guard of the ABT and put that Picatinny (excellent work BTW) on top for looks and have a mean machine in your hands. BT guns had that vertical Adapter but they never looked good since they didn't have a magazine. -------------

oh I recommend the Alpha Black Cyclone which Tippmann tells me that it's coming out within 2 weeks.
Here is a Thread on A5OG i found about this mod. http://www.a5og.net/5-mods-upgrades/11598-tippmann-5-mount-your-co2-like-m203-grenade-launcher.html - Read all about it here -------------

i took alook at it. and your right it is very possible. the only thing is my boss might chew me out if i bring it in. but then again i could just bring it in on different days and just half of it. the only thing is how i would mount the tank as a m203. i would use the Picatinny rail, with the basic scope mounts but i am sure they dont make them that big. and i dont know what that part is on the other gun. i could always find one of those. oh and right after the hose comes out of the valve in the clip. i might be able to mill that out and get a elbow so i can just turn it there, and then head straight out through the front i just hope it misses the clip. it should work it will just take time. tell me if u have any other imputs on it. ------------- Kill em all and let god sort em out |

| are you running CO2 or HPA? if yoru running CO2 then the M203 idea wouldn't work too well as CO2 bottles work best when the valve is angled upwards.. if your running HPA.. then that shouldn't be a problem. With my AB the stop elbow fed hopper system got in the way of the red dot.. so i swithced mine to a cyclone feed and everythign is perfect. |

No problems with CO2 if he gets an Anti siphon tank. Or as long as he allows for a U shaped loop of steel braided hose that you can hide in the magazine to keep the liquid CO2 out of the gun. -------------
