dont ever be embarrassed of your gear. its not my cup of tea but if you like it and it works than keep going with it if you dont like it think about making a change

sweet boggerman, you have to tell us more about it. do you break much paint? and i heard that you can take that off if you dont want to use it, and then put in a normal breech so to speak, and then use just normal cocker barrels. maybe you should take some more pics and explain that a little. I think the vertical feed flatline cockers are better than the right feed ones.

You can't use a normal cocker barrel unless you had someone make a custom adapter block. If you look real close you can see that the body is milled off back to the vert feed and the flatline mounts in a special block that is angled to match the curve of the flatline. The flatline only seems to work well with marbs or other medium to large bore dry-shell paint, this means that I have to keep seperate paint for the cocker and my emag, as I still can't get my warp to run dry-shell paint. I looked at getting a regular vert feed body, but could not even find a stock body for less than $100, so I alrerady sold the flatline cocker. I am looking for a normal cocker like an STO or even a Black Magic, if the price is right, as I actually did like the cocker and just learned to adjust and time it right before I sold it. I made like $135 on the deal and now have around $400 to spend on a cocker to replace the flatline. If I had been able to put a normal barrel on it, I would have kept it for sure, it had all I want from a cocker - hinge frame, vert feed, STO pneumatics. And TNS, I agree the the vert feed flatlines are much better looking than the right feeds.

I thought I'd revive an old thread, just because I'm sure there's more new Cockers out on AO now .

Fake STO ram?!?!?

OK, first I bought this off ebay, so I guess you get what you pay for, but has anyone seen/heard off fake STO rams? I got this "Orracle" front block kit and it looked good at first, but when I tried to put my cocking rod on the ram, it would not go. No big deal, I just read about a guy with the same problem with a different ram. I cleaned up the threads on both the ram and cocking rod with a tap and die. Still tight, so I oiled up the threads and started putting them together, well I just twisted off the end of the ram in the cocking rod!

So I am wondering if this ram may be a cheap copy or if I am just a gorilla with a pair of pliers??
