Flatline cradle

I have recently purchased a flatline tank off of Yahoo auction that did not come with the clamp that you affix the drop forward to.Where can I get one of these and who makes them?

[BlackVCG]

In total, $27 for all the parts you need. Or you can get the dovetail adapter and clamp sleeve and then get a dovetail drop arm like the Shocktech drop.

I'm wanting to get my flatline reg annodized. is it possible to take the regulator off the tank take everything out of it ent it in, get it annodized, and put it back on and get it working properly?

also, is the clamp stainless steal or what?

most helpfull

this is by far the most helpfull post i have read on here. i have it printed for when i clean mine. One question though does anyone have directions for replacing the on/off valve components, i feel i am machanicaly inclined and can do it.

[BlackVCG]

What on/off valve components? To replace the on/off o-ring you have to connect another tank to the fill nipple of the tank that needs the o-ring replaced and apply no more than 100psi with the on/off cam shaft removed and a towel wrapped around the reg. to catch the o-ring. Or you can VERY carefully use an angled dental pick and pull it out. The rest of the parts don't need to be replaced in the on/off assembly.

this wll fx t

i'm talkin about the on/off of the flatline, sometimes i think mine does not seal properly and leaks in the off position. this is o-ring is the only part i need to replace to fix that. I havent noticed that problem in a while but i think it would need replacing anyway.

I'll try posting this here since the big brains seem to gather here.

I set my 1 month old 68/4500 Flatline's output about 950 and everything seemed fine. Then I noticed yetserday at the field it had creeped to around 1100. I had played all day and it was shooting fine so I did'nt mess with it. When I got home and gassed it up the output needle was pegged all the way over to 1200. When I shot a few times the needle would drop all the way to 800 and slowly creep back up to 1200 over the period of 3 seconds or so.

I noticed this slow recharge problem at Shatnerball but it seemed to work itself out when Rob glared at it. Now it's back. I did'nt seem to have any shootdown problems but this tank is brand new as of a month ago and should'nt be doing this.

Is this a reg seat problem? Replace the O-ring? Suggestions?

[BlackVCG]

Rob's glare is powerful enough he can make things work the way he wants them to at times.

Since Rob can't stare at it all the time, I would suggest cleaning the taper of the reg. seat and the stem of the piston. Clean off the piston o-ring and reoil it. Try that out and if the problem persists, replace the seat.

I'll give it a shot, thanks.

[yeahthatsme]

i was under the impression that your not supposed to put oil anywhere near compresssed air.....

[Havoc_online]

He's not telling him to put oil in the bottle, he's telling him to put it in the reg. Same as putting oil in the marker.

[Load SM5]

You can oil the parts but you don't want to blow oil through the reg into the tank.

recharge rate

OK i just bought a flatline and i have been having problems with my recharge. I tried cleaning it and it did help but my input is dropping 200 psi after the first shot and after the second it drops another 200. i have my input set at about 800 and when i rapid fire it bounces between 400 and 600. is this normal? if not is it common and is there an easy fix?

[BlackVCG]

Replace the reg. seat and oil it. Clean off the piston and the inside of the piston housing. Take out the on/off shaft (drain the tank first) and clean it and the brass on/off o-ring holder. Be sure that you're using a fill nipple cap. Dirt is the #1 reason why all HPA systems have problems.
