Default Need some help with flash install

Hi all, I need some help installing the flash led in my Tiger. It's an HL Tiger, it has the airsoft gun in it, to make a long story short, I installed the TK-20 system and its all good. The airsoft system is still in there, but not being used. I won't be using it in the future, so I wanted to install the flash led in the barrel. So, a couple of questions if I might.
First, how far back from the muzzle should the led be? and does anyone have any advice for getting the wires and plug thru or past the airsoft gun.
Thanks for the help.
Kevin

Luckily the Tiger has a muzzle brake which allows you a great flash position that yields good realism and conceals the flash when not in use. The flash should be protruding right where the barrel ends and the first vent is for the brake. The wires will need to run thru the barrel and are best fed thru it via a fine wire (H L tank antennas work great for this...LOL) or string. The airsoft breach will need to be open for the wires to feed thru to the board.

Good luck, Bob
