I've had a couple people ask me to show them how to make a custom drop forward. So I guess I'll make a thread about it.
Make sure you read through the whole thing before starting.
Materials you'll need
Shelf Brackets (cost me about 2 bucks)
Screws the same thread as the bottom line screws (http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m320/kidonfire/drop%20pics/Bottomlineedited.jpg) and nuts that fit them (Again, cost me about two bucks)
Tools
Screwdrivers (flathead and Phillips)
Drill
File
Safety Glasses (when drilling)
Hacksaw or something to cut the screws shorter
Ok, just to let you know that I, Kingman, or anyone else, except you are responsible if you mess up and screw up your gun or hurt yourself. Ok, Now that we got that out of the way, let’s do it.
First, you need the shelf bracket. This is what I bought....

First cut it to the length that you prefer. I had to bend it flat, so I would advise buying something already flat. And thicker than what I bought too, because it was so thin I needed to make it double thick to be sturdy enough.
Next I drilled the holes to fit the bottom line of a spyder. Wear the safety glasses. You must be exact in where you drill the holes. The first time I did it I was off by a tiny bit and I had to start over cause' the screws didn't go in right.

You must drill on both sides, like this.

I would advise drilling before bending it. I bent it first and it just made it harder.
