Well I suppose it would work. The hole would be a slot. Only potentially weaken it. If you extended the whole so there is still an outside area but open enough to slip the 90 degress section out, then it would be a quite a bit stronger relative to a slot. If the hole was big enough, you could slip the 3 way rod, union, and 3 way shaft out intact. Depends on the brand and outside diameter of the union. How about making a different union that is more a tube than a big nut? One that would slip through the hole. Drop the set screw and nylon inserts and just RED Loctite/epoxy the sucker in place. You could always pick up a used ASA.... left over from a angled 3 way upgrade. Nothing like having a spare handy if you do break one. Not being familiar with the Sniper II kit. What else comes off? The whole front end pneumatics? By the way. Been longing for my old pump now and again. What did the kit set you back?
