For a butt plate I picked up one of these for $5 for my 12oz’er from a paintball store….

… and it fit onto the AF HPA tank as well.

quote The ROC:

The OD of the 12oz Co2 and the AF HPA tank are the same…2.5″ and with that can foam cooler added over the tank will make it uncomfortable to get a clear picture through the scope without having to tilt your head in some weird position. At least for me it was uncomfortable.

Hey, two coozys at 99 cents apiece from WalMart…. ya gotta allow a little give-and-take. 😆

Anyway, they work well for me when I shoot CO2. If you want to take it further, get a sheet/piece of 1/8″ or 1/4″ clear plastic (plexiglass) from the local Big Box. Use a jigsaw to cut a 2.5″ circle out of it and then drill a hole in the center.

Put the circle in the bottom of the last coozy and you’ll have something to screw the AF OEM buttstock into. If you’re motivated, epoxy it on the back of the bottle and you’ll be able to mount a WokButt.

It ain’t the best solution, but it ain’t the worst either. 😉

If you have a high scope rings then you may need to get the AF accessory rail to raise the scope higher as well.

Thanks Buzzcat I think that will do the trick nicely.

If I understand what you’re asking for, a couple foam beer coozys work really well.

You’ll need to cut out the bottom of one, and leave the bottom on the other.

Up to you whether you want to glue or tape them together to form one piece.
