| Play tight with the SystemX X-10 Drop Forward with On/Off Valve. Screw any CO2 or threaded Nitrogen (N2) tank into the X-10 Drop Forward With On/Off Valve and shorten the overall length of your gun. This will decrease overall size of your gun so less people can hit it! There are four vibrant colors to choose from so you are sure to find something that matches your gun. |

| The System X Drop Forward With On/Off Valve is older, so while it may be available used and in a few cases new, it is not commonly available anymore. |

| Strengths: |
It looks really cool and you same your o-rings from death. It also helps at the end of the day or you just want to take off you tank. Unscrew the on/off valve and shoot a couple of times to let the pressure out and then the tank comes right off with out the pressure making it hard to turn. Good product
I picked mine up for $40 |
|
| Weaknesses: |
The only thing I didnt like was at first I had to file down the on/off valve pin because it was too long and it wouldnt shut off when the on/off knob was all the way out. It was an easy fix and it works perfectly now. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good product. Save money on o-rings and looks great with any gun. If the other guys that give this product a bad rap dont really know what they are doing because all they would have to use is that half of brain of theirs and fix it. Change the o-rings or what ever. Sometimes companies send out a bad one. It happens, just dont let there small mines hurt your thoughts on this product. I give this a 9 because I had to file it down but it is beautiful after that. |

Awesome drop forward, works great with my nitro tank. go out and buy this product.... |

| Review: |
If your looking for an on/off id probably recommend a unimount or hybrid as this thing works great, but is so bulky and heavy. I can tell that this thing can take a beating and still be fine but its not worth it imo. As far as looks, eh its alright. I do like that it has three holes to mount your air fitting from. Right, left, and underneath. The unused holes being covered by set screws which can be removed by an allen wrench. It also mounts the tank in a fairly comfy position. I usually never use drops but this one felt comfortable to me. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good drop, does its job, durable, can mount your air fitting in three positions, knob is fairly easy to degas/gas marker. Is heavy though, and imo its a little on the ugly side but to each their own. |

| Review: |
This is a very good dropforward at it's price. It is very easy to turn when it is not pressurized but when it is, it's not that hard, it's just it requires you to fully grab it. The only problem I really had was that the recoil from the gun will make it turn and stop the flow of air but that was my fault. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a very reliable dropforward that has no faults. It is perfect and easy to install. |

| Review: |
Well, this "X-10 Short" dropforward (or "kradle") is the same in appearance and function as the longer one. I personally love the looks and good finish, and find the ASA to be fine. I also like that it has a dovetail mount for tanks, and several screw holes for attaching to the frame. Other than that, it's a basic drop long with a rail, not much else to say. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Nice and tight, about the same as my shocktech drop |

|
| Review: |
No real problems other than some initial concerns. This totally changed my game and improved it. I wish it was angled a little up, but thats just preferance. If you are looking for a reliable and nice looking drop forward, this is the df for you. Also can get in 5 colors, matches almost any gun. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This Drop forward is both effective and reliable. It looks great by all means and serves as a great upgrade. |

on/off - easy to turn

looks good |

| Review: |
Great drop forward, I personally like the smaller design. The on/off works great. I used to have an on/off on my drop zone and it was hard to turn with the air on, but this on/off is much easier and works great. You can get it in a variety of colors, I have a black one b/c it matches my gun best. All in all its a great drop. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I think this drop would be good for anyone. It doesn't cost that much and works great. This mite not be the drop for you if you are the type that likes a bigger longer drop, but its a great smaller drop and I would reccomend it to anyone. |

no tolerance for adjustment. |
|
| Review: |
This is the only drop I've ever had on my 'cocker but it does its job and does it well so I've never felt the need to replace it. Never had a problem with it leaking, just remove the on / off knob (clean the threads and lubricate with Vaseline) remove the lug and oil the "O" ring with 3 in 1 or Gold Cup and put it back together. Do that every once in a while and it'll be fine. ( thats general maintenance)
Be sure to keep ASA threads clean and well oiled ( I think 3 in 1 works best just don't get sloppy with it) if the threads dry out or get dirty your tank will get stuck and it's a b**** to get off.
Go to the hardware store and buy the second set screw ( its an 8-32 3/8" I'm pretty sure) to keep on / off from coming loose.
General rule with on / off is only screw in the knob far enough to pressurize marker. If you screw it in all the way tight, thats when you're lug gets stuck or other things screw up. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Yes sir I like it, didn't have to modify it.
Wish it had greater adjustability.
EDIT: Been using for years and still no problems.

cheapest on-off out there $35, looks pretty good |
|
| Weaknesses: |
you get what u pay for |
|
| Review: |
ok.... this thing is a perfect example of "you get what you pay for"
Pro's -
$35 = cheapest on/off and drop combo out there
looks pretty cool
big on-off valve handle alot easire to turn than my old one
3 holes, left right and bottom
Cons -
the setup is wierd, when i screw it in completely, it restricts airflow. so i put it 3'4ths in for maximum flow
so far that is my only complaint but it is a very large one.... and i believe its ppretty hard to mess up a on-off
BUT, for $35... i am very happy with it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
its great, if you had the money i'd suggest going for a shocktech mini with a warped sportz on/off... but this is half the price of all that and it'l work good enough |

you dont have to unscrew your tank to fill it up. |

|
| Review: |
i got the long version and i was going to order it online for 40 but when i went to one of the stores they had it for 25. so i said screw the internet and i got it there. there are 2 versions the short and the long. the short looked goofy but the long one is awesome looking. especially with a a blue gun. i like it because i got tired of unscrewing my tank everytime to fill it up. this is alot easier and looks alot better then my old drop. it puts the tank at a comfortable distance for me. it may not be for others. but that is all preference. when you get it tighten the screws on the asa. i feel sorry sorry for all you suckers that payed 40. oh ya and when you turn the air off you still have to fire some shots to the air out of the gun. |
|
| Conclusion: |
its great. have not had any problems playing with it. didnt leak or anything. the blue matched my gun well. |
