what bottem line kit??

[taylor53821]

im getting a ICD BKO 2004 off of paintballgear and i need to get a bottemline kit with it, how many inches does the hose need to be??? what ones will work?

If the BKO is anything like the B2k4 then you probably got a macroline fitting with the gun. All you need is a length of macroline hose and fitting with your bottom line. Then you can just cut the macroline to the right length.

whats the difference between a microline hose, a regular steel braided bottem line hose, or a Macroline?? i know that Macrlines are thicker, which one would fit onto my ICD 2004 BKO?

1. The Air System Stickies are your friends.

2. Microline is a smaller diameter plastic hosing, and its use should be restricted to cocker pneus and LPR's, because otherwise it is too low-flowing. It uses push-to-connect fittings that are easy to remove and replace. You can cut it to different lengths, and it it is very cheap.

3. Macroline is the same plastic hosing, but a larger diameter.

4. Stainless steel hosing is a plastic tube inside a braided steel outer covering. It means unscrewing your fittings every time you want to take your gun apart, unless you want to buy a QD (quick-disconnect.) It is far more durable, but you can't match it to the color scheme of your gun like you can with macro/microline. I personally use this because I feel it looks more professional than a plastic hose. It's all preference.

They will all fit your BKO, but as was said before, it comes with a macroline fitting, so you might as well just use that. You will then need to purchase another macroline fittingto put on the bottomline, and a bottomline. (You seem rather inexperienced at this, so I'll explain.)
Some people like drop forwards. They place your tank farther away and down from your wrist, and helps balance the marker somewhat. The come in a multitude of colors, shapes, and sizes. They range in price from 20-50 dollars.
Some people, the "anti-drop" people like myself (and most pro players, at least for now) prefer a smaller unit that mounts directly under the grip frame, eother a Check-It Uni-Mount or a Rail and on/off system. The Uni-Mount is 40 dollars, and rails and on/offs can be about the same price.

Choose wisely, and have fun with your BKO.

With a BKO you get two elbows and 1 piece of macroline. You are going to need to get an ASA, I highly recommend a Check It Products Unimount, they are 35-40$
