Did a little work on one of my projects. Milled a CCM frame to fit, then made a new RVA to go with it.

Next is to modify a Phantom VA for it, make a adapter block to turn the side tap into a 1/8NPT (Yes I realize I could tap the body). Then maybe take steps to make it run on Liquid Co2, and do something with the pump and bolt.

OMFG.... That looks so nice with the S6 frame on there...

VSC setup from a phantom would be nice, but would you have enough room to mount the VA on the trigger guard of the S6 frame?

Tapping the body and have a vert adaptor there would be the easiest I would thing, and would look pretty sharp on that there.

Thanks. Its also super comfy. I should be able to aim the marker now! :banana:

The VA was a crap shoot when I ordered it. It ended up fitting perfect besides the angle on the trigger guard being slightly different. So the VA sticks the tank about 2* forward. I just have to do some slight milling to fix that though.

As far as using a body mounted VA, I could, but I just don't think it would leave as clean of a look.

Crapshoot as Dead on Arrival?

Um, no. As in the game of luck.

Got the VA on. Ran into a little problem though. Since I didn't check how deep I can cut, I made a nice little window about the thickness of a finger nail right into the ASA area. Whoops! So now I need to pick up another VA. This time I may not cut the ASA at all, but instead make a wedge to go between the VA, and frame to make the tank sit straight.
