Ok so check this out i decided to take my blowgun trigger and moddify it for easier mounting. it is a 90 degree forward facing exhaust and it has a hanger on top that is gonna get whacked off, an aluminum plate welded to the top and the trigger mounted lower. heres a paint picture and a picture of the original with the trigger already moved down you can still see the original mounting holes.
