why do you want a straight flatline anyways? I see nothing wrong with the "Old" one. And with your idea your going to slow the ball right down to a "lob" speed posibly. And you will defintly have many ball breaks unless you use thick shell paintballs.

Well it was only a standard 8 inch barrel for a 98c, I never used it so I thought I might experiment a little.

i will NEVER rifle a barrel. paintballs are not perfectly symetrical. even if they were, they have that liquid fill that is always going to be moving. if the paintball were to spin in flight, it would become off-balanced and fly off course. if it worked for you, nifty, but i would NEVER do it.

About that straight flatline...
I would put the tape in the BACK. If you put it in the front it's gonna put some crazy back spin on that ball and send it straight up. if you have it towards the back (not in the way of the bolt) then you'll get the backspin you need and keep it from floating up, see what I'm saying? |

Take a metal file and rifle the inside of your stock barrel.
I did it to mine and now it's more accurate then a flatline. WAYYY more. You shoot it up into the air and you see some crazy spinning on that ball. I did it to my 98c stock barrel and it's FARRR better then my 14" PMI and my Flatline system. Before I rifled it all the way I just made the top of the barrel really rough with the file and it made the ball jump up about a foot. It made it shoot an extra 50 feet though. |

I see what you're trying to say, but I don't think it would work very well.

Amonia solution should take off just about any tape.

well, you can use a dowel to smooth the kinks out of the tape, and if any goo gets stuck in the barrel, nail polish remover and rubbing alcohol will get that right out. |

You know, with thick-shell paint, masking tape could actually be a feasible ghetto solution. I might actually have a use for my stock barrel yet. If you try it, let me know how it goes.
For experimentation, try using different tapes with different levels of friction. I think electrical tape would work better- it's more frictious, and will probably grip the ball a lot better. the trouble, as I see it, would be properly putting the tape inide the barrel- and then removing it if it doesn't work. |
