every time i chamber a ball and tilt my marker down the ball falls right out the barrel of my a-5. i have just resently installed a flat line barrel. the next ball that chambers will either fall out or not shoot. please i cannot figure this out and think i may be missing something or over looking somthing please help thank you.

Have you taken your gun apart recently? It sounds to me like you are either missing your ball latch or it is turned around.

I have noticed that when you unscrew the front 3 screws to install the flatline. It will leave the reciever halves loose enough for the ball detent to fall out of its groove and/Or get pinched between the halves.
You might want to take the barrel off and see if this has happened. |

Ball detent! That was the word I wanted to use when I said "latch" lol.

It's called "latch" in Tippmann speak. Either way, that's probably the problem.

Or at just about any shop that sells Tippmanns. Buy a hand full. |

You must completely unscrew those screws for this to happen, and that isn't necessary to install the Flatline on an A-5. Just loosening the screws a couple of turns is sufficient, and you run no risk of losing any parts. |

I paid $1.43 for a detent for my custom 98 this afternoon when i couldn't find mine. I could have pulled that out from under my seat of my car. $15? That blows.

WHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?! I'd tell them to shove it in an unpleasant place for that much! Well, first off tell them they SUCK as a proshop if a detent is $15... and then never go there again :P |

Remember, he said $15 CAN. That's what? $2US? j/k. You got hosed, but no worse than here. Called my local shop, they wanted $6 USD for one. Just added a couple to the order today when I bought my J&J. $2 each.

That's an outrageous price, especially since you can call Tippmann's service number and they will ship you one for FREE.
