I want to buy a drop forward, however I noticed a friend of mine built his drop. He however access to heavier equipment than I do. If I would build one, how hard would it be, and how much money would I have to put into it.

It's been changed jackass.

You can have like a flat piece of aluminum and bend it twice sort of like a staircase going down.

Or you can take one whole piece of aluminum and mill it to a full drop.

Sorry for the bad paint skills. I think your best bet would be bending it because it doesn't take many tools.

Here is a pic or Tigman's gun with his custom drop. This would be drop #2.

Or you could make a chain link drop. They look awsome if they are constructed well.

A drop made out of barbed wire would look kinda cool.

Um...I'm not sure if there is a spray, but you're be better off welding it. Or if you don't have a welder you can use JB Weld.

Talk to tigman250 or triggerhappy1.  They've made drops.  I'm actually looking into one, but don't know if I'll be able to do it on my I-S(Imagine Select) backup.  It keeps sucking up liquid CO2, so I have to use my remote.
