    Drop Forwards

    Hey, i was just wondering what would be a good drop forward or cradle for me? I just got my new mag and a 68 4500 PMI tank and have been debating over what to get...any help would be greatly appreciated!

    drops are really a personal preference. It depends on how far up and down you want your tank. There are plenty of nice drops out there. Take a look through the offical pic thread and see if you can find one you like.

      For the PMI tank, The PMI Drop/ASA comination is nice (the one with the Apoc rail built in) if you like long drops, if you like shorter ones, a Shocktech Long drop and CP on/off ASA is a nice combo.

                      Shartley's got a good point. Especially with Presets (Which are universally longer than systems.) You need to drop a preset in order to get it as tight as the equivalent sized system, because of the extra length added by the reg, threading on the tank and the asa it screws into. So a setup which is fine with an Apoc 68/45 is as long as an 88 with a PMI 45/68 preset.

                          well, i think your weird . if your more compact, you can move a lot easier. if u have a 16 in barrel, u cant hardly hide behind a bunker..IMO. also, if u have a 16 in barrel and no drop, geez..ur gun will be 3-4 feet long
