Valken Ultra On/Off ASA Adapter and compatibility with the Valken M17

Will the Valken Ultra on/off ASA Adapter work with the Valken M17?

The adapter can be found here:

It will fit but with caveats; please see the images which show how it does work and how it wont.

The first image shows the M17 as standard:

You will note the bracket that is located under the FPS adjustment knob. This is not adjustable, so its perfectly possible to use the ASA adapter but it will not enable you to retain the original buttstock configuration, here is the reason why, as you will see in this next picture, with the adapter fitted the gap is to large:

In that configuration the buttstock can easily turn and undo making it not feasible.

But what you can do is use the ASA adapter to add a 13ci bottle directly to the back of the M17. We would recommend one of these 13ci bottles here:

 The DYE LT 13CI: https://moderncombatsports.co.uk/products/dye-13ci-paintball-air-tank

FIRST STRIKE 13CI CADET Air Tank: https://moderncombatsports.co.uk/products/first-strike-13ci-3000psi-compact-air-tank

In this instance you can then do the following with the adapter:

This way you have the M17 with air and with an on/off adapter fitted. But you will then just have a tank sticking out the back, in this instance you will need a buttstock, we would recommend the following:

Buttstock Pad (shortened version of a buttstock): https://moderncombatsports.co.uk/products/13ci-2-inch-diameter-air-tank-stock-pad

Again, same idea but different style:

Full on buttstock, but fits to tank and needs no rail by First Strike:

And the Free Floating full on buttstock, highly recommended:
