I have a Trilogy and I plan on getting a Drop Forward for it. My basic overall question; if I want to upgrade something on my gun (not specifically), do WGP Autococker parts fit mostly for my gun?
RAms yes, LPR with an adapter, 3-way no. Eframe with an adapter for the noid. Bolts yes, feednecks depends on which model you have (not all are threaded). Valves no (although they make trilogy specific valves now as the 05+ cockers have also went to a trilogy style valve), backblocks yes, beavertails yes, inline regs yes.

Alright, appreciate it; wewt. Time to balance out some of the weight of my damn tank on my gun. haha
Plus, if you're playing Speedball, it makes it hard to place the tank on the top of you're shoulder and still be able to accurately aim down the barrel. I wouldn't reccomend one.

Stop posting.
Like now.
Putting the tank on your shoulder is bad form and does not help your aiming what so ever. It also increases your overall hieght.
This is twice youve been called out.
Stop.

I actually do not rest the gun/tank on my shoulder because (as Nor*Tex stated), it raises my profile, and me already being at 6 feet tall, I don't want to raise it anymore haha. And as far as I've seen in paintball videos, I've HARDLY seen anyone rest the gun on top of their shoulders; a drop forward was usually used and the tank acted as a rifle butt against the shoulder, creating a tight profile with the gun.

Please explain, I don't see how this is possible, as most tourney players I've watched and know have a drop. Oh, and I would rather have a drop since it DOES balance out the weight of the gun..

No offense to whoever these people are that you know, but you'll be hard pressed to find a serious tournament player that uses a drop. Go to pbstar.com or wherever you like to find pictures of top level tournament players, and look through the galleries. Please try and find a single player that plays national tournaments and uses a drop, I'd like to see them.
I'm too lazy to explain this right now, especially since it's been discussed so many times, so instead I'll point you to this search for threads with the title "drop forward": http://www.paintballforum.com/search...earchid=516635
It's explained in most of those, and you'll see drops are generally discouraged.
If you want a drop, then put one on there. Its your marker. I plan on adding a small drop to my superstock, so I can get a tighter form.

Drops are a no, i have one it's a small one too and it ruins my form
It raises the height of the overall marker which means your profile becomes taller. When exposed even a little bit you'll be sticking out more than a person without a drop.
The drop forward balancing out the weight of the gun was an older form that is virtually dead in the competitive paintball world.
You will be able to get tighter to your gun, but the idea of aiming will be changed, instead of tucking forward towards your gun you'll be wanting to straighten out your neck and back to be able to see down the barrel from the top or side of the gun. Without a drop the form is much more comfortable especially when it comes to leaning forward to see where the barrel is lined.
ollie lang best player in teh world...doesn't use drop
IN CONTRAST
markers with small profile sometimes struggle with being tall enough for people to be able to see down the barrel
Drop?
