no. the flatline has a textured interior that actually grabs the paint. thats why itll tear up weak shelled tourney paint, for the most part. plus, how would you mould the pipe? if im not mistaken, there is some kinda measurements that went into that bend. |

1 inch pvc is kinda big for a .68 paintball. If you bend it in the shape of a flatline, the bottom of the bent section of the pipe will become flatened. Flat surfaces do not belong in barrels. |

I dont know... I would use 3/4 pipe though. or get some 3/4" copper pipe and bend it like the flatline. Then take some sandpaper and rough up the top on the inside.

If you had any sort of inconsistancy in the sanding on one side vs another you would have one hell of a time trying to compensate for the balls flying at weird angles to where you are aiming.
You would basically of made an Apex that is stuck going sideways. So in my opinion I agree with the others, its just not worth it. |
