Flatline Trouble

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I just bought a new flatline barrel for my x7 phenom and im notcing alot of curve to the left on almost every shot. i spent some time adjusting the velocity and still found that almost all my shots favoured the left side. i was using formula 13 paint during all my testing. after taking the gun apart to check for errors installing i noticed that my barrel sits uneven in the barrel adapter. im thinking that this is the reason for the curves in my shots, becuase it looks to me like the barrel still needs rotate in more to be perfectly straight. I was just wonder if anyone has had this problem and any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

	If the X7 Flatline is anything like the A5 Flatline it will be held in place in the shroud/adapter by set screws. You should be able to loosen/undo those screws and realign the barrel.

	Start at 260 fps and work your way up from their. In my experience the 98 Flatlines liked the mid-270s best and the A5 Flatlines liked the mid-260s best. Not having owned a Flatline for the X7 I have no idea what velocity will work best but I can tell you that excess velocity will not work very well at all.
