The one piece base might be a problem for a couple reasons. First, as you said, the magazine, it needs some room. Second, I don't know if the rail slot spacing between the front part and back part, are synch'd up with each other in true picatinny dimensions.....but I kind of doubt it.

I'm hand pumping with a Hill MK5 hand pump. 3-stage pump or something like that. I've pumped up to 4100 or so psi. Not difficult, just takes a little time. Use your body weight. I generally stop at 3600 psi or so, just to go easy on the regulator. Probably no advantage, but that's what I'm doing.

I'm in no hurry to buy a electric compressor. Hand pump is serving me just fine.
