Finally moving to Air, need advice.

[Rifter]

Ok, last year, I finally got an air tank for my Minimag. This year, I am getting the plumbing. I am looking at a drop forward, and a fore-group that allows the gas to pass through. Is that the way to do it? Also, what fittings/hoses do I need, or does someone know of a kit, that has all the hoses I will need? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could do a gas thru grip. Also you can use either a Macroline kit or a Stainless steel hose. Macroline kits usually come with everything you need to get going. In my expirience I have found them to be of poor quality. The stainless steel hose is a little more expensive but is of higher quality and makes for a more stable system. With stainless steel you need to buy 90* air fittings. You could also use grease gun (grease whip) hose. Just ask for it at your local auto parts store, it is around $4-5 and works like stainless steel hose. I hope that helped and didn't confuse you.

That does help. But, I was wondering what fittings I really need. I guess that is the big question. I can get stainless hose, but the fittings, I think is what I need, or, are there any kits anywhere?

You are most likely going to need 4 - 90 degree fittings. They're not expensive so if you don't use one it's not a big loss. You want to end up with the cleanest looking run for your hoses so they're not sticking out all over the place. You also want to make sure they're not in your way depending on your grip style.
