 Topic: RT durability

I just got a Response Trigger and i didnt think that the hose on the RT was that flimsy. Is the hose that runs on the right side of the gun durable do i have to worry about it breaking or snapping? Thanks!

Dont place any sharp objects like knives or scissors
near your tube and you should be fine!!

Boil it in water then put it on before it cools.

yes, it will expand it, then cooling it will shrink it. Just put it on while it is still hot. As for the durability, it has never failed me, and I treat my gun....umm....well...ish.

Just shoot yourself and save me the trouble.

You could always trim it and put it back on. Boiling and cooling
isnt that great for tubing because the elasticity of the tubing around
the barb that seals it will be lost. Boiling is great for making
tubing do sharp bends and stay in that shape, but I wouldnt recommend
putting it over barbs while still hot.

I make all my own mods.

I had that problem sagging..to give it a clean tight look...
Don't heat or boil it...not a good thing..It's basically a macroline..
Cut & snip one end...wet it...slip it back in..good as new!

Oops...you're right..
A macroline is a bigger diameter than a microline..
R/T flow line is a microline...

Lol...its the end result what counts..
or did you mean my 98C ???
Just be careful not to cut too much!
I snipped one end with a pair of scissors, then used an exacto knife to cut the excess off from the the screw...
