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.....

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.

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!
