| Review: |
I got this when I got my new electro frame and so far haven't had any problems with it. It drops my tank far enough that it's not in the way and it looks cool as well.The only thing I didn't like was the price,come on it's just a piece of metal with some holes in it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Drops your tank a good amount,if you think that your tank takes up to much space. |

This is the only drop forward i have ever used and I plan not to change it |
|
| Marker Setup: |
I have an airgun designs e-mag with a dye ultrilite barrel, HALO B, 68ci nitro, and shocktech drop forward.
My other gun is a diablo LED matrix with the alligator trigger, shocktech front reg, a bee-hive reg, a pbc mid rise with smoke Halo B, and a shocktech dropforward. |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
The looks of it are amazing. The chrome one is so nice and will go along with any gun. This drop forward since made by shocktech is very light. You can leave your tank in if you get a on/off valve, all you have to do is unscrew a knob on the drop. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
There is no bad things about this drop forward. |
|
| Conclusion: |
In conclusion this is the nicest drop forward is looks and performance. I will never switch to any other drop forward. |

| Review: |
I got this drop for 25 dollars on actionvillage.com
The primary reason i got this was because of the Commando stock. The tank was in the way and i didn't want to pay the extra $ for the remote line and the harness plus the airthrough version of the stock.
This drop does what it is supposed to do and it does it well. The balance of the gun is very good now.
This drop looks a little too shiny in pics compared to the 98s color but it looks good.
**If you plan on using the stock 98 asa you will have to buy a 90* fitting because the hose is too short. You can pic one up at a car parts store for about a dollar. So its no problem.
I say get it. Its cheap and it does its job. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I got this drop for the purpose of repositioning the tank to get it out of the way of my stock. It does that job perfectly.
I have to give it 10/10 because it does everything that I bought it for and nothing less. |

| Review: |
SIZE- Kinda upset with the fact that it is really hard to tell exactly what you are getting with this drop foward. I would recommend that you see one in person first. Plus there are many different sizes so make sure you know which is which.
SCREWS??-Where are they? Still looking for them!(jk) Seriously...tell me if you aren't going to include screws. I got mine on a friday expecting to use it the next day at some rec ball. The thing that made me mad was that they never said anything about it.
FINISH-Maybe I got a bad one but it seems that the color is coming off pretty easily. Not saying a lot but just a few dinks here and there. It's not like I'm rough with my gun by any means. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Don't get me wrong this is still a nice drop foward. And it does have a good price too. Just make sure you can go some place where they can get you that size screw. And yes if I would do it all over again there would be a decent chance that I would wind up buying this one. |

| Review: |
This is a really good drop forward in my opinion. It does it's job, and its very reliable. I only had two problems with it. I ordered a large, thinking I was going to get a very large drop, but the large model is actually pretty small. If you want a really long drop forward, this isn't for you. Secondly, it doesn't come with mounting screws. I had to go to a hardware store and basically guess which screws to get. Thankfully, I guessed right.
I would give this product an 8 due to the 2 major setbacks, but since it looks so damn good, I'll give it a 9. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy the large version if your looking for a good, basic drop forward. |

| Review: |
This is a good drop. It is compatable with a rail or with screws. It is better then the stock Ion ASA. It brings the tank forward, but it doesn't drop it to far down to increase your profile by much. It looks good and is easy to figure out how to use. It didn't cost very much either. It is very durable and it weighs very little. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great drop forward. I don't plan on buying a new one unless this one breaks. Get this if you have a rail ASA. |

A great Drop

|
| Review: |
This drop comes very plain, and at first look, you say "why the heck did I just spend $35 on this!" But after studying the finish it is a very quality product. I love Shocktech and this just adds to the look of my gun, and has a great function also. I am very happy about my purchase of this. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you are looking for a good all around, simple drop that looks good, Get this. |

| Review: |
I just got this Shocktech drop forward a few days ago and it took me a few days to finally install it properly. First off, I had to go searching for the right screws to mount my stock ASA on to it.
After several minutes at Home Depot, I found that you need the following to use the stock ASA:
1x 10-32 x 3/4" flat head;
1x 10-32x 1" flat head screw.
Use the original hex screws that came with your custom 98. If the back screw looks like it's going to hit the back of the grip, you can swap positions so that they both clear.
While installing this drop forward, I managed to crimp my steel hose which made a very tiny hole in it causing me to vent almost half a 20oz tank of CO2. I upgraded to macroline since I didn't want to deal with trying to get the exact length steel braided hose.
Position of a large tank is just about right and I can now sight up properly with out the tank being in the way |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great drop forward. Highly recommend it if you don't want to go with a remote. |
