I`ve just got my flatine and tried to put my tasco 4x20 airgun scope onto it,but it seems like it won`t fit to the rail...what should I do?Is there any aftermarket rail or something what would solve my problem?I don`t know what rail size does the flatline have... :confused:

my friend had the same problem with his scope, but we came up with a simple answer, brute force, just widen the clamps as far as they will go, put one side of the clamps onto the rail an push down on the other side until you hear the "click"

Don't even put a scope on your gun. It doesn't help and it is pretty much useless.

I definately wouldn't buy one for the purpose of paintball, but if I had one I would definately want to put it on my gun.

I already had it,so blabla to me about spending the oh so expensive dollars to something else, you would put it on your gun too if you`d have one,at least to see how it looks...

Isn`t any other way beside of using the brute force,I mean I afraid of the shroud will broke or something,I`ve heard that it`s made cheap and won`t last too long...I`d also need advice about how can I fit the shroud to accept the lapco direct feed!:eek: :confused: :crazy:

I personally wouldn't put a scope on my gun, but don't be stupid. The regular sight rail is a freaking 3/4" dovetail mount. The flatline has a weaver. The dovetail is one normally used on air guns and twenty twos. The weaver is just a larger slightly different system. Normally used on guns of larger caliber.

Revision, 3/8" Dovetail mount.

I have scopes on both my guns, but I didn't buy them. Scopes Are Useless, Laser Scopes are what you want, just point, look in and shoot.

What are you talking about? Scopes, red dot sights and lasers are completely different things.
