Re: Drop Foward

You have a few options. Yes in order to use an aftermarket drop forward (DF) you need a A5 grip adapter, lots of companies make them Lapco. Dead on Paintball, etc. They are all pretty much the same. Basically, it fits into the base of the grip and gives you a flat mounting surface for your DF.

If you want to go all-in-one, Shocktech makes a few cool accessories for the A5. The have the adapter block built right into a DF and a DF with the tank adapter included. They also make a 'relocator bar' which is just an extention from the A5 grip. You can then use your stock tank adapter with the relocator bar, saves a few bucks.

Re: Drop Foward

I have a Shocktech Tippmann Relocator Bar and I love it. I would highly suggest it. They are very easy to find used and a lot cheaper.

Re: Drop Foward

Ya that tank would be pretty nice. I wouldnt pay too much for it because if you're going to invest into HPA get a nice carbon fiber tank (much lighter) and you can get them much larger if you are running remote.

Talk to tomq. He has MANY tanks! He has a tank tree in his back yard!

Re: Drop Foward

Yup that's the one. I have nothing against Rockstar, but I bought my Shocktech Tippmann Relocator Bar used and it was a lot cheaper. I would also suggest a nice carbon fiber tank.
