Today I whipped up a drop for my friends new ION. Im not totaly for the gun, but I dont think theyre that bad. I wanted to make it a little "custom" rather than just a black band steel drop. So I added the ION logo! I sanded and poished the metal, put on the ION logo, painted over it, and peeled it off leaving a nice silver logo. It looks a bit sloppy now, but it still needs some touchups. I still have to touch it up a little once it dries more, drill the holes, repaint clearcoat and bake it before its totaly finished. Expect to see it on Smart Parts' website within the year... http://www.imageshack.us"> http://www.imageshack.us"> -------------

I don't like Ions (Nokia cell phones) or drops. But, it's a decent piece of metal.  ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |

Whats everyone got against drop-forwards? Sure they may be seen as un-professional or low-end when a uni-mount is very professional, but they help out a lot and do what they say. Thats great material! 1/8 x 5/8 band steel. I got about 20ft of it (4ft strips) in the garage. -------------

I made my own drop forward also took a piece of solid aluminum 3/4" thick and made a template to trace on the aluminum, cut it out with a sabersaw (didn't want to wait till the next day to take it to work to cut it out) and cleaned the edges up with a file everyone that sees it dosen't believe i made it until they see the homemade rva and milled lettering. hope to have some pics in the gallery in a week or two ------------- http://img76.imageshack.us/my.php?image=stickemup6of.jpg">
