Hi Poacher,
I don't think there is enough clearance between the centreline of the gas tube & the bottom of the barrel to fit an 88g cylinder underneath.
The other thing, is that the gas tube (where a 12g powerlet resides) is not a sealed tube. There is a hole in the bottom to help change seals etc near the powerlet piercing assembly. Its not as straightforward.

I hope this helps,
