custom drop forwards??

[LinkinPark03JT]

How can I make a custom drop forward, does anyone have any pics of theirs? I want to put on an electro trigger that doesnt fit my bottom line, and i dont want to mess with the hose ****

we need to be more specific about what type of hose (brainded or solid) then i could help. If it's brainded, you can just buy a longer hose and connect it to your regulator and your cradle. That would be a lot less expensive than buying a new cradle or making one.

My gun, jt3.0, has a female fitting and i guess that all other guns have a male part, so i cant just get a longer hose.

Ok Linkinpark03jt. Here is what you do to make a custom drop forward for your 3.0.

Materials:
- 2 10-32 1/2" screws
- 1 1" (or 3/4") wide x 1/8" thick x 12"long aluminum bar from the hardware store
- 2 nuts 8x32
- various size metal drill bit and drill
- hack saw

Take the aluminum bar and bind it into a "J" shape. It's actually more like a "U" with one side shorter than the other. The short part will be attach to the ASA and the long part will be attach to the trigger frame. Try to measure how much length you need on each end (somewhere around 2" for the short side and 3" for the long side). Since you will be using the Mako frame, we will use the middle two holes (standard holes). Measure the location of the two holes and drill it out on the long side of the bar. Put it on using the two screws mentioned above. Check spacing. If you need to cut some more off of the short end, mark it and cut. Mark where you will need to drill to attach the ASA. Drill out the hole and attach with the from the ASA and the two nuts mention above.

If you need more detail instructions, I'll try to take some measurements and write something up.
