Flatline Problem

[alexlevin1]

Well, i have a friend with a 98c... And he has a flatline on it. As the ball comes out of the barrel, and im seriuse it curves like 30 degrees... And also, one day the screws jsut fell out, what up with this?

Which direction? If the curve is upward don't worry about it, that's why the Flatline works it lifts the ball. Consequently that's why the Flatline sucks at close range, it lifts the ball above where you are aiming.

Otherwise fiddle with the alignment of the collar and barrel, make SURE that it is installed flawlessly.

Which screws? If it was the one on the adapter collar it needs to be replaced, that could be the root of your first problem. Otherwise don't worry about it, IMHO you should ditch the shroud anyway it just gets in the way and forces you to have to re-adjust the barrel every time you install or uninstall it.

Everything on the barrel must be lined up properly. The peice that screws into the marker its self must be as it says in the manual.(the split in the metal must be going straight down) Next, find the exact top of the barrel.(this can be done by taking off the shroud and puttin ur fingers slightly in the barrel and letting it hang down. the center top is now the center bottom. Make carefull note of this and mark it if neccesary) Now, carefull line the barrel part up w/ adapter peice. Make sure that the exact center top is where it should be. You can't go by the notch on the muzzle break b/c on mine it was alteast a 1/4 inch off to the side. Lock it down and now you should be shooting straight as a paintball should.

A few Notes:
1. If the adapter peice won't stay at a 6 o'clock postition, I wrapped some electrical tape around the threads, took the body apart and put the adpater peice in the body as i put it back together. For some reason mine wouldn't stay at the postition it should have.
2: next time do a search, im sure there are hundreds of threads on here on this topic. I just answered this one b/c im in a good mood and figured i would help out some old friends.
