    Macro Line.

    What macro line would you guys suggest for my tac one, I bought a braided steel air line and fittings but it seems like more work than it needs to be if I ever need to take the gun apart. The stuff that came with my air through stock has a very small inner diameter, any links would be greatly appreciated.

      Wrong.

      Definitely not on the A-Team.

          I've had crap Macroline that blew out halfway through a game. Scared the heck outta me too. I cut a new piece and low and behold it too blew out the side halfway through the next day game.

          Only get the best stuff. Saving a buck or two isn't worth it when it blows.

          For my mags I use stainless hose. I added a quick disconnect for ease of maitenence and reccomend them to anyone. Since I use a 1,000psi output tank for higher RT, I just dont trust Macroline enough to hold during an all day game.

              its true. different macrolines have different flex radii, inner wall diameters, thicknesses, and densitys of the plastics used.

              They do differ. but usually not enough to matter.

              Any macro at any pb store is good enough (90% of the time)

              and its certainly easier than SS hose but not nearly as reliable in my opinion.

                Go ahead and do the little bit of extra work to get the SS lne on. Put in a QD with it for ease of removing the valve. Once you are done, you should never have to worry about it again.

                    I just went from Macro to SS on my RT Pro. I ran a QD on one end and a SlideCheck with a QD on the other. It is very easy to work with, and the slide check/QD allows me to degass and rem ove the valve without having to take the tank off.

                    Some SC may choke airflow, so it is important you check them to make sure you can use them while the return policy is still good.

                    Don't forget to oil SCs and QDs, they have o-rings inside...

                      What is this "Parker Parflex" you speak of? I don't see it on his site.

                        Just ask him for it.

                        The stuff from macrolineguy is also made by parker I do believe.

                          Okay, so it's good a brand of macroline. It sounded like you were talking about some exoticly cool new system that most of us haven't seen yet.

                            macrolineguy only carries parker parflex. it will withstand up to 1200 psi without any problems.

                              I ended up picking up some fittings and stainless steel braided hose that suits my needs nicely, If I ever make the switch to macro line Ill check out macro line guy.
