I run a spyder sonix.
When i need to change o rings this just gets in the way.
But when i dont need to change o rings i like it. Is there an atachment to move it further twards the end of the barrel so the gass tube doesnt go into it?
I think armson do front grips that attach to the barrel.
You could probably put one of these on and just run your gas line straight into the vert adaptor.
Not a great website but I think it should contain links to other distributors.
They have a very big south african presence though, pro team products I believe. If you check out paintball-online.com or paintballgear.com I think they stock armson stuff.
