Well, to those who were interested, I picked up a sample of nylon 11 macroline, which is more flexible, and supposedly safer and stronger than the typically used nylon 12. It will be fairly priced as well. Right off the bat it will be available in black and white. I will release prices, pictures, and more information once I get a response from tunaman. I can say to buy from me there will most likely have to be a minimum order, like 10 feet or so, but im not certain. It will be extremely comptetively priced, I can tell you that.

I also have gotten 1/16" (autococker pneumatic hose) quick disconnect fittings. They are very small, and should aid tremendously on removing and working on your cocker, as you will no longer have to remove the pneumatic hose OR tophats. I will be testing this on saturday.

I also have gotten some autococker pneumatic hose, which has been tested, and works great. It will be available when I get a confirmation on the macroline, and the quick disconnects.

This is not hype folks, this macroline will be hot stuff. Post questions or comments here, and if you are a dealer and are interested in selling, PM me please, or post here.

Im afraid I have to up this. I think for 20 feet, I will charge something like $15. For an ammount less than 10' it will be something like $1 per foot. Sounds reasonable? Who would pay that? As far as I know im beating about every price on the market...

I think I am going to charge $6 for a set of quick disconnects. Also, does that sound reasonable?

Sounds good to me, will the set of quick disconnects include some cocker pneumatic hose (like 6")?

I suppose I could include pneumatic hose and barbs with the fittings, like a whole kit for 10 bucks...



gtrsi, I know who your comparing me to :D

Well, I suppose I will charge something like $35 per 50'. Cheaper than air soldier, and safer to boot.

Im not gonna be making near as much money as before, but its ok, I think it will sell well. Im having a very positive repsonse on PBN as well...

MY local shop sells it for $1 per foot so maybe I will buy 20' cause that is cheaper from you.

Darn Phil, you got me! I meant to say "I just" not "I lust!" I was just typing to fast and didn't check it over. I wrote in all caps because I was just working on my cocker over the weekend (yes I've got one, gotta have something to "fix" when it's to cold outside to play) and thought "God, with all that we've got in PB why has no ever come out with QDs for the cocker pnumatics?!?!?" It is just really freaky to see this 3 days later.

So how ya doing? Going to Maddness? I'm thinking since I missed AOSC (BTW, fiancee is OK thank goodness) I might head out to WVA.

Interested in QDs per picture, and more than likely I can do a mass air-powered.com order.

It SHOULD be stronger, or the same. The pressure testers arent done yet.

However, it is much more flexible than other because its nylon 11, not 12.

I have 2 types of macro in my room, one is very unflexable and looks and feels more plasticy and glassy. The other kid feels more rubbery and very easy to bend. I'm assuming this is something like squid is selling.

The pressure testers cant find fittings that it wont come off of at 650 psi. They are working on it. Just so you know, this is no way related to the macroline.

Can they not use the regular paintball fittings?
