So this is mine and alex's a5s...mine is on top with the chrome flatline notice i dont have my scepter grenade launcher on there... I found one that comes with a special adapter for the flatline, and I'm in the process of making it match my barrel...I'll post a pic eventually once its all 100% complete. Tell me what you think..give me some criticism.

It looks like you took the Flatline to a wire brush wheel.

Do you use that chromed out marker for woodsball? If not, what's with the
scope? Why does it look like you welded the flatline to the A5? If someone chromed out an A5 for speedball that would look so good. ------------- Ride it like you stole it... |

azn... i have used it in speedball but nothing serious just walk-ons at flagswipe, etc.. and yeah i do use it in woodsball...my friends and I play in my buddies forest so I dont care about being all discrete. I tried making my gun camoflauge at one point in time but I botched it really bad, so this is what Im staying with for the moment. Sorry i took a pic with my gun dirty. The barrel is like a mirror when its cleaned and spotless. and about the "scope"..its actually a red dot..well a red/green dot And alright, about the "welding"....this is gonna get me called a nub most likely... I've had a problem of the two front screws in the receiver not holding the a-5's barrel adapter piece firmly in the receiver-- you can just pull it out no matter how tight those two screws are. I eventually just got super pissed of not having it work ------------- Tippman A-5,Polished Receiver,Scepter,PMI Expansion Chamber Bullet Drop, E-Grip with WAS at 17bps, JCS trig,Vortex Mod and QEV,SpecOps SAW,Red/Green Dot Sight,380 Round Hopper,Polished internals |
the green is so awesome...so easy for quick sighting
so i just put some hot glue on the one edge to keep it from rotating...might as well ask if anyone has had this problem themselves and if they know of a fix for it??Posted By: Styro Folme

that barrell does not look dirty - it looks scratched. Anyways I agree. chromed out a-5 for speedball would be the sexeh. I like the whole setup of yr gun. but dont ever weld a barrell to yr gun....ever... if i were yuou and played scenerio. somehow manage to get the barrell off. get a real nice primer and put a nice thin coat on about 7 times and from there go to the upgrades and customizing forum and look at wookies paint tutorial. a lot of people from here have used his instructions including me. camo that bish. other then that sweet set up ------------- Tippmann Custom Pro-E Polished Internals Custom Mill/Paint Job 16" Rifeled SP Barrel A-6 Stock QEV Cyclone Feed System Chroned at 18 Balls a Second |

Try wrapping the adapter part, whre it joins into the receiver with plumber's tape or even a small piece of black electrical tape. You might have to experiment a little to get the correct thickness of the wrap. That works for me. -------------

I would have done the same on used tape. It is always good to have the option to change barrels.  ------------- A5 Rfs Dwg triggr Ricochet R5 8"Lapco Bigsht/14"CP Classic Palmers Stab.

thanks for the advice about the tape...the darn thing has been driving me crazy for about a month.. it was strange to see the flatline fly out of the end of the gun the first time it started to get loose
btw yes the flatline is a little rough, i tried as best i could to get it to match my gun, overall its pretty good except for the one patch on the front which is viewable in the pic.

mine has an o-ring on it but it was so tight it wouldn't come out so i took it off, after i polished my internals i put the o-ring back on and now its really snug but it comes in and out with the oring, see if theres a groove on your barrel adapter for an oring  ------------- Canadians do it on top.

Not bad. I like the polished look. Try some lok-tite tape around the threads or if you can, put an o-ring around it. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |
