ok, i need someone that can help me while i install this thing,, i have already installed everything, and im pritty sure that the adapter is in correct, and i got the barrel so the balls shoot strait, meaning accurate, but, the balls drop just like any other barrel, i know its putting backspin on the balls cause every once and a while a ball will go flinging way off to the left or right, but every other shot goes straight. ,, when i look at my barrel it looks like it is curving down, so i tried pushing it im more but it cant go in any further, so is it normal for the barrel to be curving slightly downward?? also how can i fix it so the balls are doing what there supposed to, shooting far?? i need someone that has taken the time to install the barrel correctly to answer this, cause they know what to do

Whatever goes up must come down, we ain't f*ckin'round.

Meaning that your flatline's balls are not going to go straight up in the air, they will eventually drop. No offense, but I would have gotten a much better barrel for that price.

haha, i know what ya mean, but i find myself unable to reach the players that arent out, so i got the barrel for christmas, there for i didnt pay for it,,, anyway, what i mean is that it will shoot downward, not strait, and i cant get the barrel to point strait. its pointing down, so inorder for me to shoot strait i have to like hold the gun funny, im just wondering if this is normal or not

it should shoot flat for 180+ feet....sounds like the balls may be tooo big so they'er not getting any backspin..or
u might want to clean put the barrel withwater.

put the barrel in the shroud so the curve is up...then make sure its all straight screw in and you should be good..i used to have one...also check out the tippmann forums

Screw the adaptor in all the way.

Loosen the set screw and slide the barrel in. Use a rubber mallte and gently tap the barrel to make sure it is in all the way.

Tighten the set-screw and test to make sure it is aligned.

I recomend turning up your velocity, making sure the barrel is seated in the adaptor properly, and using small-bore paint.
