Messy macroline..
http://www.digitalgunfire.com/images/flatline2.jpg

Look at the piece from my gas through to my flatline.. it's in a pretty nasty loop. Can anyone think of a way to make this fit better? I have no problem changing the gas through - I actually wanted to get a DYE 2003 gas through but I'm not sure if it would be too long (if someone has one they could measure, that would be awesome.)

Suggestions appreciated :)

well on the bottem of the grip you could put a straight fitting and cut the hose shorter to fit better.

When I have it shorter, it's curled too tightly and I'm worried about it busting open. The other trouble is the gas through is about a 1/2 inch to the left of the flatline elbow, so if I used a straight fitting it'd still be 'kinked'. Might be my only option though.

Put a 90 on the bottom of the gas-through, pointing to the right of the gun. Then put the 90 macro adaptor into that. It's similar to this (tho I put my bleed on there as well):

I'm not sure if you have to worry about it busting, the macroline from my on/off to my gas thru is curved 90 degrees, its almost an L shape

I was thinking of using a 90 degree fitting to an elbow, just don't like having more connectors than I have to.

That might be the best plan though.

Yeah, I saw that post.. thanks man, glad someone else likes it :)

I got my first 'you're running that in full auto' comment last Friday... always fun, especially since my input is around 650 and I don't have an electronic trigger ;)

How about not running your line through the foregrip. Similar to the stock SS hose that comes with the RTPro/Emag, except with macroline.
