i don't know if you realise the scope of what you're suggesting :P

it's feasable to create an 8mm AEG, but it's basically new territory and i'd only say 'go ahead' to someone with engineering in the blood and alot of experience.

it is very possible that you'd have to machine a new cylinder head and air nozzle, as well as modifying the tappet plate and the front of the gearbox to take the new nozzle.

these are things that could leave you with a 'broken' gun that can't shoot for crap AS WELL AS costing a fortune to fire (ok, with 8mm bastards this is a moot point but it's not going to be a 'cheap' project.

at the end of the day it's your life but be warned, this project sounds like a time and money trap of the highest order.
