I need a little help/advise.

I got a 16" Tippmann sniper barrel for my X7 which works great. Barrel is of course threaded to work with the Pro Carb & A5 as well - great. So I'm going with a kit now on my X7 and I decided that I would replace the stock PC barrel with the Tippy. Wrong... As I was aware the grip on the PC is fitted for the stock barrel and since the Tippy is wider at the base its a no go.

So here's where I need your help - the way I see it I have a few options:

1. Get a different barrel (don't feel like spending the money)

2. Widen the rear section of the foregrip to fit the back end of the Tippy, semi-permanently attatching it to the barrel, but will still slide (possibly sabatoging the grip's stability for future barrels)

3. Something I haven't thought of yet....

Any help is greatly appreciated!! And here is a visual aid to help...
