I seem to be having a problem with unloading the barrell with the adapter as one piece. I follow the instructions (remove the 3 screws and then turn to the left) but the adapter, after getting a bit loose when turning with the barrell, just stops turning with the barrell. I can therefore not remove the adapter. Im wondering what could be causing the problem and/or how I could fix it. Another thing is that the cyclone feeding hopper is hard to remove. Wondering if theres anything else about that. Any help is much appreciated, I just want to make sure everything is alright with these two things. |

Wait, do you have a flatline? The cyclone is removed by unscrewing the screw that is just above the front grip. After that, take off the other screw that is on the other side of the gun that has the cyclone's hose connected to it. You should be able to pull it off. It might stick a little. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

The adapter problem I'm having is with the barrell that comes with the gun, Its just a normal barrell. Im trying to remove that barrell+adapter to replace it with a flatline. And im talking about the hopper itself, not the cyclone feeder if thats what you though. |

Oh ok. Just twist and pull the hopper off. It's hard at first until it gets broken in. As for the adapter, take apart the receiver halves and just pull the adapter and barrel right out. You have to have the gun apart in order to do this. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

when you pull out the barrel adapter with the barrel, it should only turn 1/4 to the left(counter clockwise), and then you pull it out. The barrel adapter does not have as many threads as a regular barrel have. You can say it just has half a thread, that's why it doesn't even take a full twist to pull it out. Hope this helps. ------------- A5 Rfs Dwg triggr Ricochet R5 8"Lapco Bigsht/14"CP Classic Palmers Stab.

I just got a flat line myself thought the install would be harder than it really is, its actually quite simple. you dont have to take the barrel adapter out with the barrel in it its easier to unscrew the barrel like you normally would, then loosen the 3 front screws probably like a full turn each twist the barrel adapter a quarter turn to the left and pull out. To put in the flatline make sure the screw at the adapter side is facing horizontal to the side of the cyclone feeder push the barrel in and do a quarter turn to the right till the screw is aligned with the front sight. As for the hopper 1/8 twist to the right to come out and jiggle it till it comes off its a little tight for a while. Hope this helps. |
