i found out this great way to clean you flatline barrel, here it goes; buy a straight shot squeegee and fold the round piece of rubber(it is on the end of the squegee) to the side and put that end in first in your barrel then push it all the way back and pull it out ( when you go to pull it resets the circle of rubberr)
here is an example of a straight shot squeegee:  and plus these squeegees are really cheap |

I hate straight shots, sorry. They're really expensive where I live. I don't like paying $10 for a squeegee then having it fall off your belt while playing. They'll work for the flatline, but what I like to do is when I get a break (very very rarely) I fold the feedneck down and run a viewloader proflex squeegee through. Easier than the straight shot and gets all the paint out the first time. They're made of one piece of flexible rubber, so they are very durable. You can tie them around your belt so the won't go anywhere and they're only $4. A lot of people like straight shots, I'm just not one of them. |

I just take the flatline off after a day of playing and clean every inch of my gun.

Its actually not recomended that you run that through your flatline barrel because pulling that thing through can actually over time wear down the white coating inside your flatline. I wore out my flatline that way but luckily I still had tippmanns 2 year warranty. |

Why use the straight cleaner when tippmann supply a flex cleanner with the flat line that is designed for the job this saves the coating and dont cost a single penny (i will take it all back if this is only available in the UK)

Jus soak the Flatline in warm water and use mild soap....to wipe it clean...use a flexible squeegie like a battle swab.

IF I BREAK A BALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME I TURN MY GUN UPSIDE DOWN(SO NO PB'S FALL OUT)AND THEN TAKE THE HOPPER OFF AND EMPTY THE CHAMBER THEN TAKE THE STOCK SQUEEGIE THAT CAME WITH THE FLATLINE AND PUT THE END OF THE SQUEEGEE IN THE CHAMBER AND FEED IT THROUGH THE BARREL AND THEN PULL THE REST OF THE SQUEEGEE THROUGH. BUT IT GETS CAUGHT ON THE CYCLONE FEEDS SOMETIMES SO YOU HAFTA PUSH THE RUBBER PIECES INTO THE CHAMBER. THIS WORKS REALLY WELL. BTW: NICE AVATAR Edited by @5 M@$T@ |

I heard from my friend that if you break a ball during a game with a flatline, the easiest way to clean it is to get a cotton ball, put it in your barrel and then shott it and it will clean most of the paint out. It doesnt totally clean it out but it is much better than not cleaning it at all. This is the best way i have figured out to do it quickly |
