Tippman Flatline Barrels for Mags?

[billmi]

The flatline Autococker uses a different breech than a regular Autococker and the barrel *is* removeable.

The whole breech block is removeable and you can put in either the Flatline breech and barrel, or the standard breech and barrel, that way if you get a Flatline Autococker you still have barrel options.

Theoretically you could do the same thing with an Aluminum 'mag body.

See you on the field,

hmmm

u know anything is possible but y would u want a flatline barel?? they suck they arent accurate, the only good thing about them is that they give u distance. other than that they r pointless

[Coaster]

when they are installed correcty they are fairly accurate.

I made a post about this a while ago, and got some pretty good answers. This was before the extremes and maybe the SFL's mind you, so aluminum bodies werent considered I dont think.

Anyhow, people said that the cocker and tippy flatlines work because the curve starts RIGHT after the bolt, so the ball accelerates up the barrrel rather than accelerating and hitting an odd curve that will most definately break a ball going 300+ FPS. With a mag that is somewhat an option, because the barrel could start curving right after the point where the bolt stops, but that would make it hard to work in for bolt variation, PF left/ PF right/ CF would all need different barrels. and it wouldnt work in the minimag or RT cuz of the shrouds.

Only upside I see is that if the twist lock rails are made well the whole adjustment problem with tippmans could be over, but since all barrels are round we really dont know just how up to standards the twist lock mechs. are, plus they all jiggle a bit
