Seriously, just throw the tank in a hydration carrier or something. I promise you you will not notice it. And yes, I speak from experience, I recently ran my Kokusai Crimebuster with no routing for the hose short of the hydration tube port on my hydro pack. You really won't notice it.

Tanaka M700 AICS has arrived, pics and measurements below.
I did get some shots off in the snow (bit hard to see the BB) but it was ranging well at around 50m I was hitting a torso(tree) consistently.
Enjoy the HD!
Chassis taken apart:

Cracked hop-up chamber as seen in many Tanaka's:

Approx length before thumbhole ~6inches:

Approx width of stock ~1inch:

Approx length of stock ~4inches:

Having never handled an L96 type I was surprised to see this inner chassis(taken apart):

And a weight in the recoil pad, I think its aluminum and quite hefty. It's glued in there so I'll have to work careful when I try to get it out:

Just have a look and I'll post some more details later tonight when I have the time!
I don't think I'll be getting any type of tank into the stock since they're all 1.5+ inches in diameter.

Here's the 8ci HPA 3000psi tank

I was looking for these when I found out about the P* Fusion engine and thought the possibility to run the rig inside the Barrett's body.
Ask Woogie to explain how it's fitted on his AICS.

Thanks for raining on my parade
Here's egalism's http://www.airsoftforum.com/board/lofiversion/index.php/t209097.html am I allowed to post links to other forums?
Anyways egalism is using a C02 set-up which is tiny I was hoping to use an HPA tank so here's a picture of a mock 13/3000 HPA tank not entirely up to spec(note: regulator is attached to the length but would be much skinnier):

I might just have to order a Ninja 13/3000 HPA tank(pre-installed with reg) and see what I can do with it.
tacticalairsoftct.com was actually out of stock of G&G rubber set and Creation chamber. Ordered instead from DENTrinity.
Misc parts for the AICS coming in from Evike and airsoftgi and airsoftatlanta.
Be sure to check the CA M24 thread I'll be making this friday to see if I can fit some branded mags into it. Haven't actually fired the rifle after sinking ~$1000 into it because no one had CA M24 mags :-/

No prob.
I actually really like the idea, and I was very sad when I couldn't put the tank in the stock. For attaching the grip, you should use something like jb-weld, and then use bolts or something. I used shoe goo and it held okay, but i had to re-do it a few times. I would recomend buying a bolt, and replacing one of the bolts that goes to hold the stock tgether with a longer one and screwing it through the grip, because there is a LOT of stress being put on that exact spot, every time you pick it up.

Here's a guide but the images are missing...

Basically first remove the base plate then unscrew the alen bolt at the bb strip, then remove the outer mag shell.
From there unscrew the 4 Philips screws and you gain access to the mags internals, from there you replace as you see the parts.

Remember how you remove the plunger. Also the strike plate will be replaced by the knock arm so you'll have leftovers!
Sorry I can't help you more, it's been some time since I installed the Power Pack and I sold it with the AICS a few week ago.

The forum stopped working last night but thanks wolf I managed to figure it all out and after putting all the parts in the gun would cock but it would not fire. So I took everything out except for the magazine striker set and it works fine.
Anyways after 30 seconds of drilling I came up with a weak system simply for me to look at.

I love the look of it so I'll probably order some sort of Battle grip without all grooves and dents for a nice marksman platform.
http://www.evike.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=&products_id=29346
Then I'll find myself an HPA tank that is shorter than 9 inches and I'll see where it goes from there.
Edit:
I noticed the exposed areas on the bone of the AICS so I plan to cut part of the outer frame so that I have a trigger guard + trigger box/mag release protection.
Cutting along the red-lines once I have the new grip installed.
