how do you put macro on a tippmann with the stock bottom line ASA? I tried to put the straight macro fitting on the power tube and i tefloned the fiting and screwed it in until i was tight enough and it still leaks..i dont want to tighten it too much so it breaks it...help

did you wrap the tape on counter clockwise? if not it is unwrappings itself as it goes in

you might also be leaking around teh macro itself, push it in the fitting till it bottoms out then tug on the macro to seal it.

They also make Pneumatic Lock-Tite that will work better than tape if you wanna try that..

Macroline sucks. My Syndicate MF-1 came stock with macroline fittings, they had to be immediately replaced with braided hose because of enormous leaks.

my fittings are a little more than half way in to the power tube but i used loctite (#271 should be bright red) not teflon.
