What happened to CenterFlag/(WTB DynaFlow Reg)

Anyone know what happened? I'd really like to pick up another couple DynaFlow regs if they're out there somewhere, or at least some rebuild kits for the 3 I have. I did some searching and found the owners name was Dennis Ashley but every phone number and email I've tried has failed... I tried placing an order from their web site which works... kinda it says order not accepted but then it sends me a confirmation email... I'm guessing I'm not going to be getting any parts but it's worth a shot.

If anyone out there has a DynaFlow that they'd be willing to part with PLEASE send me a PM.

They went out of business. I have a list of oring sizes I can send you. The only part that is not off the shelf as far as I can tell is the reg seat.

I know they're out of business wondered if there was a story... and I guess I was hoping that someone has a bunch of leftover stuff still for sale. Yea send over that list and any troubleshooting info you may have just for my personal archives.

There have been quite a few inquiries about parts kits for these. I had been looking for some time for parts for the 301 I had. I needed a reg seat, and Dennis would not ship it by itself before he went under.
Looking around, I have found parts kits for all kinds of AA regs, suprizingly as they have been gone longer, but Centerflag folks just seem to be screwed.

You got that right. I live by my Dynaflows. Fortunately, as long as the reg seats hold up you can find everything else. I know that someone was trying to get a hold of parts from Denis (theres a thread in the dealers forum). If he cant come up with anything I will post what info I have on oring sizes and such.

I am also looking into having some of those reg seats made.

According to Dennis, the reg seat in my 301 "never went bad". It was made of a small piece of black material, have no idea what it was. He told me to just flip it about. I did that several times, but it kept blowing itself up into the reg itself. According to him that was impossible to happen, but I know where I kept finding the darn thing.

At any rate, I hope something comes of it, as I would love to be able to find a good adjustable, a rebuild kit or two, to go along with my mag, and just be good until such time as I can no longer physically play.

When I was searching for parts for my 'Geddon I ended up calling the owner of Paintball Doctor and he had 3 CF bottle regs and I think an old MaxFlo that he was looking to get rid of.

No idea if he still has them. I seem to remember him being willing to let them go cheap.

Something to be aware of/beware of also is that someone had obtained the Centerflag name for their website, and was using it, and alleged inventory and webstore, to sucker people into a scam. Getting parts from a third party source, such as a reputable web store, or a brick & mortar store, should be fine if anyone's still got them. Getting stuff from Dennis would be OK too. I wouldn't give anyone else out there financial info hoping to get parts for CF tanks and regs, though!

There was a thread on PBN about it a while back. If anyone's really interested in the details beyond the above, I can dig it up.

That's me!

I worked for CenterFlag for a little over a year and I've known Dennis for as long as I've been playing paintball. The company is absolutely done. I can't tell you how/why part of the website is still up. They shut down operations in Illinois some time ago. For awhile Dennis was still moving product to some of his European customers...but eventually that ended also.

I have been trying to get a hold of him...but, despite his advanced age and pedestrian speed, he remains evasive.

If and when I get him...whatever he has of value I will try to bring back to you guys.

Adam
