If you're talking about hard-line brake lines, that's what they used to use on all the old C/A conversions.

Hard line configuration means that there are fewer options as to which way your marker is set up. Also, it requires you to find the appropriate lines which give you a great enough break strength. i.e. you don't want to use a brake line that has too low a break strength rating or you'll blow the line should you trap CO2 in there and it sits in the sun, etc.
It also was less expensive to just buy off-the-shelf stainless tubing and cut it to length for most manufacturers. You can still see the influence in the Automag RT's hard-line from the vertical adapter to the reg and valve assembly at the back. |
