    Macro or steel braided?

    I'm going to be setting up my E-Mag in the next week or so. Would you recommend a macro line or steel braided to the air source (Flatline 68/3000)?

    I know I'll need a couple of 90* fittings, about 11" of line, and teflon tape. Anything else. Any tips from you experts?

    Thanks

    I prefer steel braided hose. I've had and seen sealing problems with macro. Steel is more expensive, but you only have to buy it once. If you decide to use it, put some heat shrink tubing over it to protect the finish on your gun.

      Is that what it's called? Can I ask for this at any hardware store?

        what about micro lines? i use them on my mag classic and they work great for me. do they not deliver enough gas to properly work an emag?
