I released the three front screws from my Tippmann A-5 so I could install a Flatline barrel, but I have to remove the stock barrel adapter to put in the Flatline barrel. When the three front screws are loose I tried turning the adapter to the left and the right, but it would not budge at all. Is this because I need to unscrew more screws, lube the adapter somehow, or completely dissasemble the Tippmann A-5?

If I was a tippmann, I'd have a 20" barrel.

Why not just take the A-5 apart? It only takes a minute, and the barrel adapter being stuck in there is probably a good thing, makes sure your barrel doesn't fall off. It has happened to me before...
