o.k, I am wanting to buy a drop forward for my a-5, but the wab sites dont usually have tthe lenght of the drop and pull forward listed. I want my talk forward but i like how it is up and down wise. can you guys tell me some drops that move is forward just a bit, b/c where the tank is now is soo annoying.

you cant make the tank forward and not drop it. the grips in the way to just move it forward. you have to drop it in order to bring it forward.

but if you make your own you can get that custom fit, try making your own out of 3/4 band steel. its pretty easy to bend into what shape you want it, and its very strong.

you cant have one that drops it less than the diameter of a 20oz tank, or the tank wouldnt fit on. but no there are not non-custom ones that drop it an inch which is smaller than a 20oz diameter.

to drop it an inch you would need to use a thin tank like a 12 or 9oz. all drops come standard to fit 20oz diameter. if you make one, you can get it down an inch, and out four like you want. makeing them from band steel is very easy. you can get it custom fitted to what you want. its not hard to bend, if it is, heat it first and use a hammer to tap it to a perfect edge. just make sure the steel's straight in the vice first.

but it is a little harder with the a-5 since the bottom of the grip is slanted. you need to buy one of them solid blocks to make it straight.
