[xR0BBIEx]

I have a 98 Custom Pro Platinum with E-Grip and Cyclone Feed. Idk wut i should get next...any suggestions?

[Veterholtzen]

Flatline, stock, HPA, All of the above

ok...thnx

Forget the Flatline, the Apex is superior and put it on a Palmers Brass Barrel or Barrel kit.

Stocks are nice, I prefer folding adjustable stocks.

HPA is good and get a 4500PSI high pressure output tank. If you can't afford getting a nice HPA tank, you can get a Palmers Stabilzer as it will allow Co2 to give HPA like performance.

Since you have the E-grip and the cyclone, I recommend getting the Tech-T Vortex Ratchet at the minimum for the cyclone.

ya i def wanna get an hpa tank...so i should get a 4500 psi?

4500PSI tank, Carbon Fiber.

Shots per Tank:

10 shots per CI at 3000PSI
15 shots per CI at 4500PSI

50 shots per oz of Co2 on a 75* day.

4,500 psi tanks have several advantages over their 3,000 psi cousins. The fist is that you can get air fills at whatever pressure is available. If your field only offers 4500, it's not a problem.

4500 psi tanks are also fiber-wrapped tanks. This is beneficial because of the weight savings per unit volume. Take for example two of my air tanks: a Pure Energy 48ci/3000psi and a Crossfire 88ci/4500psi. When empty, the weight of both tanks is functionally identical, despite the fact that the Crossfire can hold close to three times the amount of air. The idea here is that a 4500 psi fiber wrapped tank is going to be much lighter than a 3000 psi steel or aluminum tank of similar size.

should i get a remote line to use with that once i eventually get a vest? ot just not bother?

[Corrupted355]

Personal preference. I say no, but two guys on my team are vehement about their remotes.

Depends.

Remote lines are nice in that they take the weight off the gun.

A downside is that if you don't have a stock the gun can be rather unbalanced.

Another downside is that your gun is connected to you so switching hands and such can be difficult.

If you get a remote line, don't get one with a slide check. I my experience and everyone that I play with, we have had nothing but problems with them. Instead, what is far better, get a Palmers 1/8" on/off valve. They are far superior in reliability and ease of use.

Slide checks are actually a really good idea. And most of them really do work well. For the first couple times, at least. After that, it's busted o-ring city, and you can kiss your air goodbye.

I've done the same thing Packrat did with the 1/8" ball valve, but I've taken it up a notch. I really liked the way a slide check vented air out of the gun when you closed it off. So I modified the ball valve to incorporate that feature. You'll need a small drill bit and some patience.

I found it was easier to pull the ball valve apart, but you don't really have to if you're careful. First, drill a hole in the side of the ball that faces the gun when the valve is closed. Next, drill a hole in the valve body so that the hole is on the opposite side of the body from the hole that you drilled in the ball when the valve is open. The hole in the ball will allow air that's in the gun to enter inside the ball when the valve is closed, while the other side of the ball seals off pressure from the tank. The hole in the side of the valve allows air to vent from inside the ball when the valve is closed, but is sealed off by the undrilled side of the ball when the valve is open.

Do you have an aftermarket barrel? If not, definitely consider getting a good set.

[xR0BBIEx]

no i still have my stock 11' barrel...im planning on getting the flatline tho

NO do not get a flat line. Great distance, terrible accuracy. Whats the point of being able to shoot far if you cant hit it.

CP,J&J, a barrel kit of some kind will benefit you more than a flat line.

[di$TOrTed]

Like Orpackrat said....... don't get the flatline. Get the Apex or a nice barrel kit.

[Ironman289]

Guess you guys dont like the flatline. Well If you want a stock I would get the JCS folding stock, it is adjustable in length and angle so you can see down the sights of your gun with a mask on, which you cannot do with most other stocks, plus it folds to the side for CQB . I have one and I also have a scope on mine and this is the ONLY stock that I can use my scope with.

[Corrupted355]

The Flatline is overrated. It's more trouble than it's worth, and it isn't as good as it's competition.

[Corrupted355]

Have you used both the Flatline and the Apex? I highly doubt it. If you had, you'd notice the massive difference between them.
