My Version of a DF

[TheNinja]

I decided I wanted a drop forward, and I decided I didnt want to pay 30 bucks for one, so I went to home depot.

All it took was a foot long n shaped piece of metal, a clamp, some foam tape, and a couple screws (the ones on my Piranha were too big).

You cut the piece of metal to a desired length with a saw, drill 2 holes the match those on the bottom of your grip and screw it in. You line the metal with the foam tape wherever it will touch your tank so that it wont scratch it up and make it look ugly (uglier then the df did taht is). You match your tank up to the mteal piece and slide it to wherever it would be most comfy, put the clamp around it all, and tighten it. It will hold well.

All the materiels can be bought at Home Depot for a total of around 6 bucks.

GL if you decide to do this great-working, but sorta ugly, mod to your gun.

Go to Microsoft Paint, take the picture, select all, shrink it, save it.

Ok, should work now. I still have to saw some of the extra metal off the back part, and eventuall I wil turn it black somehow.

how do you unscrew the co2? there is nothing attached to the asa except the hose.

[TheNinja]

you loosen the metal band and screw it out of the blue thing on the end of the bottle.

[TheNinja]

thanks, today I cut off some of the back of the metal and put a little more foam on so it wouldnt scratch any more. Im afraid to go to the field with it tho cuz I will be made fun of. :laugh:

Man why would you be afraid to go to a field with that? That's a cool drop forward, original looking, and (unless I'm mistaken) it looks like its adjustable. I was trying to think of ways to make an adjustable drop forward, and that never crossed my mind. Good job, and if people laugh at you...just remind them how much they paid for their DZII. :)
