Very easy - you can find online tutorials on paintball sites like warpig most likely. The hardest part is initially removing the tank from the valve body.

If your going to put an anti-siphon on it - I'd recommend going the full 9 yards and just putting a smart parts on/off - anti-siphon combo or something similar on it.

After a bit of digging around the internet, I found some 13" tall .50 cal ammo cans- plenty enough space for a 20oz. paintball tank. (If anyone actually has one, could you measure the height on it, just to double check for me?)
Now I'm either thinking to try mounting that on the gun itself, or to attempt a backpack rig with a hose hidden in a dummy ammo chain. I'm not sure, but something tells me a 13" tall ammo can would look pretty silly mounted on the side of a gun. =P

(Yes, I know the M1919 is .30 cal, not .50 cal, in case somebody was going to correct me ; )

I wonder if it'd be possible to connect two tanks inside that ammo can...?

Edit: Back on topic, can anyone tell me if I need a skirt for a vortex cap?

Does it have to be a side mounted box?

Just saying... or is this specifically for WW2 milsim?

If it's one of those "side" vortex designs, not really.

Thanks JSR, and no, it's not specifically for WWII milsim. That gun in the picture looks pretty cool... funny you should bring that up, today a couple of friends an I were discussing making it all tacticool... Rails, an M203, possibly an EoTech. :lol: I would hate to disgrace such a beautiful gun, but it Would be different... (In a semi-good way, depending on your perspective.) Hmmm... inspiration... I think I'll draw one up just for giggles. :D
