the forward most screw on my drop for my flatline seems to be the pivot point. any ideas ontightening it? im gonna try andslip somthing under thedrop to see if it picks up the slack. are there any other drop fowards that fit the flatline?

Just use a 1/8" allen key and a cresent wrench on the nut and tighten it up. It shouldn't move if it's fully tightened.

yeah it isnt wobbly to where it is that much of a problem. but it is still wierd, and does anyone else notice if you type to fast on this thing it misses your letters or spacing somtimes.

Yeah, I agree with BlackVCG, if you use a cresant wrench and an aleen wrench it should fix it. Without the cresent wrench it wobbles because it cant tighten all the way. So try that, ok?

ENDO!

Custom Paintball Products makes a Flatline adapter, which basically replaces the drop forward with a piece which would accept any dovetail style mount/drop forward. The adapter keeps the use of the regulator retaining sleeve.

I use benchmark cradels - work great on the flatline - but due to their aquisition by Proteam - it may be hard to find them

I used to slip some paper or thin piece of rubber in between the flatline reg and the arm. This would snug things up real good and keep it tight.
