| It's been done but it took major work and plenty of time... You cant just fine it for sale. You have to fabricate it yourself... |

if you knew how the A5 flatline mounted to the A5, you'd realize it takes more than just an A5-98 barrel adapter..... ------------- 98 Custom milled;painted;J&J Ceramic;X-Chamber;R/T;Cyclone. |

It would save you $$ I guess if that's why you're asking, but the A5 flatty imo works much better than the 98c flatty

NO the 98 flatty goes farther than the A-5 it is just harder to install and more complicated.

Read carefully scooper, I didn't allude to distance at all. I do have flatty's for both, I've never compared distance, the A5 flatty isn't as fussy with paint, it's shorter which I prefer and it's easy to clean when you break paint. I have the apex as well and I prefer it over the flatty for the A5. Curious to know what you base your "NO the 98 flatty goes further.." on. ------------- Imagine there’s a picture of your favourite thing here. |

So what are you saying, that the ball going through the 98 Flatline develops more back spin that the ball going through the A-5 Flatline...'cause that is the only way there would be a difference in trajectory distance ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL...SUCH AS MUZZLE VELOCITY! -------------
