I saw a site a long time ago that had aftermarket shrouds for the 98 custom flatline, can anyone tell me where it is? Or any sites you know of that have aftermarket shrouds?

Tippmann discontinued the Aluminum shrouds years ago. I know http://www.undergroundmodshop.com - www.undergroundmodshop.com  has 98-A5 Flatline adapters that are useless.

If i get this http://www.e-tippmann.com/p156/JCS-A5-to-98-Barrel-Adapter/product_info.html - http://www.e-tippmann.com/p156/JCS-A5-to-98-Barrel-Adapter/p roduct_info.html

can i put an a-5 flatline on my custom pro?

Uber,

If you already have an Apex, why are you asking about the Flatline shroud? The barrels are not similar in any way other than the fact that they create backspin on the paintball.

ROTFLOL!!!

Well, this is the BT Apex. It contains a fingertip controlled ramp inside the oversize tip that can be adjusted to shoot flatline style or curve right, left and dive bomb. The degree of spin is adjustable to actually give longer range than a Flatline.

Now what barrel are you talking about?

Have you ever used one? umm i'm willing to bet not. **edited**

Second, and I know it is probably beyond you capability, if you would do just a little search you might find some of the stuff I have posted about extensive accuracy test at both long and short range...and about the unique performance qualities of this barrel.

Some have even been successful at being banned for one incident.

If you're going to try and make me look stupid, at least use proper grammer, unless it's beyond 'your' capability.

Yes, I know what an apex is, i'm not retarded, of course it has the tip, but all that does is make it curve, i've yet to see any backspin from an apex at all. Thereis no 'hovering' effect with the apex, which is what backspin does to the paintball, makes it look like it's hovering through the air. And besides, why do you care if I want a flatline? It's my money, not yours. I got my apex for free, so it's not like i'm loosing any money. All I did was ask a simple question, I didn't need the forum nerd to attack me.

Forum nerd! Thank you! Should I go into depth explaning how the curve is generated from the spin imparted by the rubber covered ramp mechanism in the barrel tip of the Apex? At this point, since you have been using the barrel for 1.5 years and have remained unaware of the physics of making a paintball curve, I fear it would actually be beyond you.

As for asking why you wanted a Flatline shroud when the Apex performs as well, I thought you might have come up with some cool modification to use the shroud on the Apex. My interest is because I have one of the metal Flatline shrouds that I no longer need. I tend to give away, a fault of mine, paintball equipment I no longer use and I thought I might offer the shroud to someone who could use it.

But, Mr. Pottymouth, apparently you concluded I had insulted you. Thank you for quickly clarifying that you have no intent and little ability to participate in discussion.

Lol this is so funny

I'm suprised you are still helping him Bruce, he doesn't deserve it.

And the apex does work, and really well. It sounds like you used your apex once, turned the spin all the way up, it flew upwards or hit the ground, you decided it was crap and never used it again.
