i had my flatline barrel for my a-5 for a couple months.yesterday while i was shooting a piece of the barrel flew out when i shot. The piece was from the flatline barrel. its the thin barrel inside the flatline it has a lil arch or curve in it and i was wondering if there is a way to fix it ? i opened the flatline barrel to try to put it back in but i have no clue on what angle the pipe should be. I put in once and fired the gun again but the same ting happened it just shot out again?

Sounds like the barrel itself isn't secured in the barrel adapter. Needs to be tightened down.

Same thing happened to mine.

The lower end of the curve goes towards the gun and then it curves up and out toward the end of the barrel.

The screws used to hold that in place came loose on mine.  I ended up speading some "liquid nails" on the external outside of the tube where is protrudes about a qtr inch from the barrel housing.

It's held since.
