Merc, Sorry it took so long i've just been swamped at work lately, but i did get the mounts made finally! I don't think the pouch idea from the picture above would work too good. seems like everything would be flopping around alot when you run. Anyways i can mail them to you or i could just bring them with me to west point. whatever you'd like. here's some pics i took while making them.

They look perfect. Just a quick anodizing away from really nice piece.

I don't think i'm gunna be patenting them any time soon, but after people see these ones maybe i can get some buisiness making more of them, or other custom parts here and there. If anyone has any projects in the works i would definitely be willing to quote you a price.
A nice coat of black anodize would look mint, but our shop really doesn't do much aluminum work so i cant send it out. If we had other parts going out i would have sent it along, but we don't right now unfortunately.
Anyways merc i got your pm, i'll be mailing them out tonight or tomorrow. probably tomorrow it's almost 5 now, but you should have them by the end of the week. I'll send the invoice along with them. 3 hours of labor at our normal $80 an hour shop rate plus $40 in material costs (6061 aluminum) and an extra $5 for (4) 1/4 - 20 x 1" hardened steel black oxide socket head cap screws. plus sales tax, packaging and shipping you're looking at a little over $300. Theres a manditory shipping insurance fee of $20 and if you want them overnight it will be an extra $20.
Theres also the option for a 1, 3 or 5 year extended warranty and service plan for an additional fee.
Tell ya what, i'll be a nice guy and throw the screws in for free.
Oh, but i almost forgot about the engineering costs....
or just give me the 2 patches which i'm gunna give to another team mate anyways since i already have one.

Here it is. I like the way it came out. Now all I need is an ASA and either try to use the hose it comes with or 1/8 pipes with elbows. Maybe some paint?

Thanks again Seig

Looks good! I was a little worried about the diameters matching since i didn't actually have the tank and launcher in my hand to measure but it looks like they fit good. Some flat black spray paint will add a nice finishing touch.

Yes, it has worked out very nicely. Here are more front-end shots incase you want to make minor adjustments in the design.






My next step is to add a macroline fitting to the ASA fill adapter and a new hose. That was I can switch from the macroline fitting on the small tank on the front to the ASA on the bottom by simply switching hoses.




On a side note: I remember reading about if you added 4" barrel extension to the Havoc, the nerf would go further. I also saw a YouTub where a guy commented that never uses the breach in his JCS to load in the nerf. He simply puts it in backwards and still gets a good distance.

So, I took my Havoc (I do not have a crono) and fired it at a target 70 feet away. If I put in the nerf tail first, it hit about 4-6 inches below where I aimed. If I put in nose first, then it almost hit the spot I was aiming for. I did this a few times and the tests held up. If you look at picture, you see that putting it in nose first gives you an extra 3.5 - 4.0 inches, which clearly helps. Just wanted to share it with you guys.

Please note that I did not use any of the government stimulus money in my test. Hmmm... maybe I should have?
