I am in the marker for a new tank. I want a flatline. at the agd store they only sell 72/4500 flatline for $480; paintball gear sells 88/4500 flatlines for $380. I like the bigger tank cause it gives me a little more legnth to the gun.

Why doesn't Agd sell them(the 88/4500? are they disscontinued?

Well my bet is PBG doesn't have any 88's. I would be suprised if they do. They just are not very prompt in updating their site is all.

Its whats in stock is all there is to it. Thats what they got in stock at AGD.

The 72 is a great size though. I really like it. But so was the 88 for that matter.

will they ever make it again? an 88/4500 flatline would be my dream tank; but I don't want to have to buy a tank in a size I don't want and try to find just a bottle to match.

I have no idea. I had one on order for over 6 months. Finaly the ladies emailed me and asked if they could cancel it to get rid of last years business. So I did.

how about this. you buy the 72 flatline, and then you trade tank only with me and i give you my 91 for your 72?

Well I don't speak for any of those dealers mentioned but if AGD doesn't have those sizes it's a pretty good chance that most dealers don't either. I'm particularly looking for another 45/4500 flatline. Don't want to have to buy a flatline and switch bottles though.

Last time I checked Mel at PBX had a 45/45 he had in stock for a while. Check with him or have Tunaman check with him on that. You just might get lucky there on that one.

I also note that Air America is selling 88 tanks for $144. That might be an option for you?

Now if only AGD would only start selling the Flatline reg without the tank we'd be all set.

Meebee if you called them they might be willing to put one on this tank YOU get from AA and have it shipped to them for assembly? They in the same town. Might be worth a call anyway. I dunno. Guess it would be good to make sure AA has the tanks too.

I bought one of the 68 tanks from there on dec 22d. A month later and no tank. No response from my e-mails, but my CC hasn't be charged yet.
Anyone else have better luck ordering from AA's website?

better yet, how come they cost $500?

It doesnt make sense as to why this setup would cost so much, even more than an angel air which as far as I know uses more parts.

Thats what I was wondering. Do they really have them in stock at AA. Sounds like they might not. But then again might just not have gotten your order. I would call them. They pretty good about answering the phone and all. And even answered my emails fairly quick too. but I have never used thier web site. I have done business with them but always over the phone so far. Always been pleased with them. I would follow that up with a phone call. Something might be amiss with the order system.

let me see if I got this strait. You think AGD might let me buy a tank form AA and have it shiped to them. then they will put a flatline reg on it. I'll will call first thing monday morning. I hope your right. other wise its gonna cost me $624 for the tank setup I want. that would suck.

I don't have the slightest idea...

There is no harm in asking though is there? I know they won't sell Regs. But they might assemble to a new tank provided. I just do not know. I never asked them myself. Tell us what they say.

I asked AGD himself this question at the Ca AO day. He said they are having trouble with tank suppliers. 72 is all they can get I guess. I asked about the selling only the reg too, he said no way, too much liability. So either wait, or switch tanks, or use the 72.
