Big guys with big tanks?

[dave_p]

im only 5'5" and i have a 3000 110 on my mag, i like it. it is bigger than my gun but its dropped so far forward it balances perfect(wonder if xvalve will change that).

[SGTKennedy]

im 6' and i have a short drop on my emag, balances it perfect with old school SS apoc 68/45.

i also have a 114/45 apoc, dont play much anymore, but it was also for my recballing needs. If you cant find any tanks you want go ahead give me a PM, maybe we can work something out on the 114. Its 3 years old now, was hydroed in april of 2002. the thing is a beast. 114s really are large, a bit too big for me these days. and i cant fit it backwards with my warp.

[behemoth]

im not trying to insult anyone, but i just dont know why people put tanks on backwards. no offense but that just makes the emag look stupid

im small and I have an 88/45 lol, Its still comfy cuz i got the big oll DZ2 and i need it cuz I play outlaw alot and can only get 1 fill a day

I'm 6'3" and run a Max-Flo 88/4500. I do have it on the medium shocktech rail and a SP extender off my Angel to get it almost as short as a standard 68. At ~260lbs, I've got enough problems tucking myself into bunkers.

I also run a 20oz off an angled shorty drop on my Mag, snugs up real nice.

I'm 6'1" and run a 68ci Crossfire with no drop. If I use an adjustable, I may go 88ci though. This is mainly because the neck/reg on the Crossfire tank makes it around as long as an 88 (say, if you set the rail mount on a Max-Flow so the tank was a close to the gun as possible).

Most of my friends (5'4"-5'10") prefer the feel of a 68ci tank with a shorter drop (like a Mini Shocktech or CP Micro).

get somebody who knows how to properly tune a cocker to take a look at yours... lots of mismatched aftermarket parts, with bad tuning make for a lousy cocker... you'd be suprised how well a properly tuned stock cocker performs... hehe

If you want a nice long drop forward, get a Dead On Pro Blade drop. It's long, should fit a fat/stubby or a 114 tank, and it has an on/off.
Here it is:

Or if you want it without an On/Off get this:

both come in all sorts of colors.

also, what helps long arms is a foregrip extender, making the RT PRO an even better choice for you, because it comes with one.

I'm a little guy who tends to run with a big tank. it's not been untill the last 8 months or so that I even owned a 68.

My cocker was run on a PMS minireg 1 114ci 3k... with their 4" drop forward. And my 114ci pvi maxflow was on the 4" sp drop forward. Quite comfortable if you ask me ;-)

I was recently converted by a buddy who ran his mag with an apoc 68/45 butted up to the back of the gripframe.

the 114's are still comfortable and playable for me ;-) But they really necessitate a small barrel. (go figure, I run with a 10-12 normally)

Soo...just because the majority put theres on frontwards, its right?


There is no right way to put on a tank, so I guess you cant put it on verticle either, according to you

Good Lead

I am talking to Air America and it seems like I may be able to do a deal with them. They are checking if they can do a special order for me. Trying for a 114/4500 with a 5yr hydro. I'll let you all know how it works out.

im 6'2" and run a 68/3000 without a drop on my imp and i find it quite comfy. back before i got my growth spirt when i was only 5'5" i had a warped sportz cradle(basically a dz) on my mag with the same tank. but now im also considering getting a 88/45 tank and a small drop just so i dont have to fill as often.

[dansim]

im 6'2" and use a 88/4500 raptor because thats what my budget said i could get(it was a killer deal)
