Suggestions on a new on/off and possible drop forward ?

**TNS2k2** · 05-11-2003, 11:03 PM

I like my CP on/off. It isnt hard to turn at all, and it fits nicely on my Shocktech drop. I wouldnt mind trying one of those empires, but i dont have one, so this will do.

Does the Empire on/off have 2 ports on it ? I'm adding a purge valve but it will only work obviously if the on/off has an available port for it.

Not a rail mount but...

Well, I just got my updated DOP drop and on/off. The on/off has a degas feature that works great. Yu can't use it on a rail mount, which is annoying, but I like the drop. I used to use a 114 cu tank so the long drop was necessary. Now i just like the drop and the on.off. Look at the pic in my sig for the drop and on/off and here is a link to it.

There are other styles of drops, some shorter etc. This works rgeat and there are many colors. Just my suggestion.

Get an IDEAL on-off!!!

Here's the on-off ASA I just picked up... it's currently on a CP Microdrop. it's so frickin' sweet. forward on the lever is off, back is on. So easy. So good. So much lovin' in such a lil' package.

Hey funkmunky56 :

Where did you get that on/off and how much was it ? Does it work well ? Does it take some effort to move the lever ? (I wouldn't want to accidentally bump it off while playing.) Can you get them in black ?

**funkmunky56** · 05-13-2003, 02:53 PM

I'm not sure exactly WHO makes them, except that it says "ideal" on the far side of the lever pin, and then there's that "I" on the side you can see...

I got mine from www.stalkerpb.com go there, and write to the owner (Keith), and ask about "Ideal lever on-off ASAs"... I think he's got them in nickel-plate AND in black... they're not listed on the website, but he's got 'em in the store. :-)

**funkmunky56** · 05-13-2003, 02:56 PM

oh yeah... it takes a little effort. enough where you're not gonna be knockin' it on and off during play. The swing is set so that even if you knock it some, it won't turn off until its close to straight forward

When you open it, how far back is the lever ? Is it basically horizontal ? I've got a bleed valve that I would put in the port right behind the lever and I need to know if the bleed valve would interfere with the lever.

**funkmunky56** · 05-13-2003, 03:31 PM

bleed valve wouldn't work in there... the valve can swing all the way around... and it's reversible, if you have a good set of snapring pliers :-)

put the bleeder somewhere else, or get a slidecheck

I just use the QD at my valve to bleed

**CFD323** · 05-13-2003, 03:35 PM

The bleed valve I have only works in that extra port.

Do you have a LVL10 in your gun ? I thought that with the residual pressure left in the valve after turning the tank off that you wouldn't be able to get the QD off.

I guess I'm just manlier than you, mister fireman... lol

**CFD323** · 05-13-2003, 04:14 PM

I contacted Stalker PB on the drop and they said the on/off part won't work on any other drop but theirs. That sucks since I like my current drop.

**funkmunky56** · 05-13-2003, 05:00 PM

that's strange, cuz it fits on my CP microdrop just fine...

whatever. buy one anyway, it's sweet.

**CFD323** · 05-13-2003, 05:40 PM

Did you buy the on/off separately or did it come as a kit with the drop included ?

Sorry munky, I meant the drop that MadMatt has.

Yes it has duel ports.
