OK i got this crossfire 68/4500 hpa tank and now my problem is my a-5 is kinda long i play alot of speed/recball dont worry guys i still play woodsball

SO i was thinking about gitting a drop forward and id like some of yalls opinnions on dropforwards and which one would be good for me.

i dont like the huge dropforwards small and medium for me only
so please post away on any suggestions. BTW i dont use remotes.

Have you looked at the Shocktech?

May not be the best looking drop out there, but it's the simplest installation for the A5. I know a couple of guys with them and they seem to be a solid peice.

I like my Lapco dropforward. And, it's adjustable so you adjust it to three different points for your desired length. It's really nice. Check it out here.

have you tried putting the tank vertical off the tombstone, that considerably makes it shorter and easier for speedball

I don't think that a 68/45 would fit there. And it would make the marker VERY tall so snake crawling would be difficult. But it would make it very tight.

Shocktech now makes a relocator bar that is the clasic style drop but has the back part that will fit into the A5 grip. The only advantage over the regular A5 relocator I feel is that you can then put any type on/off on the rail. I'd link you but can't get to the Shocktech site from work. Basically combine this and this. I had the original one. It's a great product but just decided I prefer playing without the drop.

***edit*** here's the link to the one I was describing.

you may try the "power angle" from FBM with or without a drop-forward. Angles the tank so that is is resting on your shoulder, rather than against it. Shortened my A-5 and steadied my shot. I think that drops just make something you have to rest your arm against, making you a wider target. Here is the FBM link: http://www.fireballmountain.com/Merc...ode=CustAccess

Enjoy!

I want your messed up A5 recievers! Shoot me a PM if you have some!

I use a lapco grip adapter, custom products micro razor drop and custom products on/off asa and the same size tank as you. With the grip adapter and drop i got about 1.75 inches down and a little over 2 inches forward. made for a nice tight setup when i used a 12 inch barrel.

ive decided to go with the shocktech a-5 relocator bar

Have you thought about reversing the tank? Basically mounting it forward as opposed to backward?
