wow... ou could very well be hosed... but you might try one thing. If your bolts are long enough, get some washers and put inbetween the handle and the DF on the front bolt. This may rock it down enough to give you the clearance that you need.

you might want to try a foregrip extender. cheapest I've seen is the KAPP foregrip extender for $19.50 g3pb.com. click on catalogue, then automag and it's there. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem, and what I did is this, get a KAPP gas through, actually I have one I am not using, it's black and really comfy but short. Then you get a straight macro fitting, or go with some stainless braided hosing from the gas through to your drop...one other suggestion...there is a foregrip gasthrough one piece part on Ebay, buy one of those, as they are 3.5 in long total length, and should clear the TKO drop enough to let you run your macro line.

I've got the same exact drop and it works awesome. Here's what I did:

STEP 1: But this stuff:
1 - 5" Steal Weave Hose
1 - Elbow for the above item
1 - Roll of teflon tape

STEP 2: Ditch the duckbill bottle adapter and the macroline and take the macro elbow out of the bottom of the grip

***The secret of teflon tape is to wrap it around just enough to cover the threads and wrap in the direction it will be screwed in. (If you point the part that is going in towards yourself you wrap counterclockwise)

STEP 3: Wrap a length of teflon tape around the elbow's threads just enough to cover it. Put the elbow on either side of the 5" hose. On the side w/o the elbow teflon that too.

STEP 4: Now take the drop, put the side WITH OUT the elbow into the small threaded part in front.

STEP 5: Now take the side of the hose with the elbow, and screw it into the bottom of the grip. It should go all the way into the grip stop it so the hose is pointing in the direction of the barrel.

STEP 6: Now, fold the hose down so it makes a "C" shape now you can secure the drop to the grip frame.


Thats all there is to it. I suppose you could trim your macro and get a straight fitting but it will look crappy. This method is a lot better looking. Good luck.
