    cheap macroline!

    Well, will there be any interest of this? I can get macroline, CHEAP! I mean like under a dollar a foot. Anybody interested in buying a lot of macroline, VERY cheap? I can get this stuff free/at cost... my dad owns a plastic tubing company. Thats where I get my cocker pneus, and have reason to believe that I can get some macroline. So, who is game for this?

    I would be interested, If you don't have problems with continuous length. I would probably buy 5ft of continuos tube if it can handle 850 psi.

      If it isn't parker, I'd be kinda wary of its pressure rating.

        if squid has been using it, i think it would good enough for a gun.

        if so i would like to buy some, and did you say you have some for the front end for the cocker pnues.

          i did this one time from a tubing company. i bought 9feet of clear hose. the thickness of it was the same as a damn micro. the flow was great, but i kept bursting damn macros every few games or whatever. one time one didn't even last 3 minutes before it went.

          i'd check the thickness on it.

            Its not really the thickness as it is the material. Anyways, what is the working pressure on this line that you can get? Like rikkter said, it could be the perfect size, but only rated for like 50psi, which would do us no good.

              I havent gotten it yet. I will be testing it at practice before I sell it. The cocker hose works fine, and I pick it up by the 100' for my field. I can get that for sale as well, again, dirt cheap, but macro is first because there is more need for it. I am going to pick up the hose today.

                  I'd be interested if I can get it in a continuous line. maybe a 5' complete line would be good.

                    Ok, well I didnt get a chance to call him today. They make pneumatic hose, so im sure they make working macro line capapble of 850 psi. I believe about 5000' would be a few hundred bucks

                        I will have the final results of testing this weekend. Basically, im gonna go down there, tell him to bring me a sample of this macroline (if they even have it, look, I havent even called him on it, but dont worry, im fairly certain they make the stuff) then im gonna shoot a couple tanks of air through it. If it all seems fine, I will let everyone know, and I will also get prices on it. It will be pretty cheap. Im not gonna sell it for much more than what it takes me to buy some. See, ole squiddy can be good for something?

                          if you have an adustible tank... do something with that... like turn it up to 1100 and then turn it off... then vent the air in the line and turn it back on.

                            yeh, see how much pressure it takes before it breaks. Id bet it pops under 1000psi...making it 95% useless for paintball

                              Just out of curiousity, not arguing, but I just wanna know...why would under 1000 be useless? How many tanks have outputs over 850, and how many guns operate past 850? Wouldnt 1000 be about right? Im gonna use my preset and adjustable, on several different guns...basically if it holds up, why not? I just have to thoroughly test it first. Things is, this factory MAKES pneumatic hose... not just hose, this hose is made for high preasure operations. So far the cocker hose hasnt failed me yet. I just have to talk to him about it. Same goes for hose barbs, they make about every type of plastic hose barb.
