Installed my flatline, but the barrel, when looking from the top, is angled to the left. My shots also fly to the left. With the stock barrel, no problem.

Now hte damn store had a no return policy. Any suggestions?

Did you read the installation instructions? The barrel adapter must be adjusted in the receiver so that the barrel lines up correctly for uniform straight ball flight. Adjust it and readjust it untill the paint flys correctly.

Your supposed to loosen the adapter screw and turn it the other way untill they go strait. Its called aligning your barrel, and its described in the instructions.

Well the problem wasn't me and reading instructions. Apparently i've gotten two jacked barrels which were manufactured bad. Luckily for me the 3rd works like a charm. Apparently with the other two barrels, however you tried to install it, it would be slanted to the left.

 

Thanks for the help i guess.
