| Hi i own the BT4 Combat marker and it uses A5 barrels.I am wondering if the A5 Flatline barrel would fit on it... |

No, the Flatline has some sort of adapter that you put in the front of the A-5 receiver in place of the barrel threads. I don't think it will work on a BT-4. Get an Apex. It is basically the same thing, and you can get it with an AK or an M4 shroud if you like. The Apex is also adjustable, the Flatline is not. Don't believe the hype about Apex barrels being able to shoot around bunkers and over stuff... it isn't accurate enough to be able to do that. But it is fairly accurate with the super flatline mode on, and it definitely will reach out and touch someone. I used one this past weekend at a scenario game and it made a huge difference. ------------- WAR EAGLE!!! |

Not to mention the fact that you can take the Apex tip and pop it on a better barrel such as the J&J ceramic with the UMS adapter and get even better results than you'd ever get with the flatline system ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

| The thing is when i took the gun appart i could take a little piece with the barrel threads off so is that the part you need to remove to fit the Flatline or no? |

I don't know. Call their tech support. They usually know how to do that stuff. It may be possible. ------------- WAR EAGLE!!! |

I have a BT-4 also. i know for a fact that you can put the Flatline on them, cause Thats what I have as my barrel. it also seems to fit tigher on the gun. It shoots great...Thats AFTER I changed the BT internals out for Tippmann 98 internals. (power tube & back bolt) Now I just got to get Fullymodded to put my Spyder Pilot grip frame on it & run eyes & Ill be all set. ------------- 1 paintball gun package=$150 1 case of paint=$50 air & entry fee=$15 lighting up newbies all day long= Priceless |

the fact you have 98 internals shouldnt change the ability to put a flatline on it. spyder frame, on a 98c internal, a5 flatlined, BT4? tight man, tight. ------------- 98CP ACT R/T J&J Ceramic 14" Egg II w Z-Board GTA Inline X-Chamber NCStar Red-Dot Pen Spring Mod Trigger Stops Polished Internals Dye Sticky Grip 20oz Co2 w On/Off Next Up: Spimmy |
