I have a 98 custom. Tippman expansion chamber. I bought a drop forward off ebay. It balances out the gun perfect. Mt problem is the stainless gas line that comes with the e-chamber is to long and cant be bent to fit. Anybody else have this issue and a possible solution. Not sue if there are any pics of this solution. I would prefer to keep a satinless line and not use a macro line. |

It depends on how sharp the bend is. You can also order shorter SS lines. You may want to get an ASA that has side air line mounts. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |

| Its about 2 1/2 inches from the asa and 3/4 drop. Macro fittings are 3/4z' in length so it wouldnt be much macroline. Not sure if it would make the ben. I was hoping somebody had the same set up with a picture so I could see what they did. I really like the drop but also want the x-chamber. Just dont want to keep buying things and it doesnt work. The smallest stainless line I saw is 3 1/2 which is what I have. lol |

i have the tippmann x-chamber on my custom pro. the braided line is a hassle to fit. i have it almost "S" shaped. no picture sorry. just bending it until i can thread the drop forward's screws into the grip. good luck |

| Try to find a shorter SS line, or just convert to macro. |

| Tried the s style bend. It ends up sticking out past the gun since the e-chamber swivels on the bottom. I really dont want to use a macroline. Gonna try some 90 degree fittings first. thanx for the ideas |

| Well I got a side mount asa and a 90 degree fitting. worked perfect with the 3 1/2 inch line for the x-chamber |
