Flatline Barrel

No, you wouldn't NEED anything made for you if you had a cocker 2 98 thread converter.

1) Good luck finding one!

2) Even if you have the adapters, do you know what the chances are of them aligning properly when compeltely screwed in so that the flatline adapter is at the 6-o-clock position? It won't happen!

Ever heard of a dremel? U take off the little flat spot so u can mount it an any position u want too :)

And WWA would prolly make that adapter at a decent price.

This is of course if you REALLY wanted a flatlined mag, I don't really think that would be a good move, but u could do it.

Haven't we already agreed that flatline barrels do ...

Who's we? Is there a mouse in your pocket?

Obviously I'm not apart of this "we" you're talking about. Speak for yourself and yourself alone from now on. Do not ever speak on other people's behalf, especially an entire forum! You'll sound stupid, and on forums these days you don't want to.

Get right on it! I'd love to see how successful that is.

Well u supply me the parts and I will make sure I get it to work. PM me if you need my address to send those parts too.

Ummm How was the flatline barrel mounted on the Autococker then? Did they use some type of adaptor or is theirs custom made with cocker threads. I'd be nice to get a flatline cocker and see how its put in.

the flatline i shot was actually preaty accurate

[melster]

I've been on the receiving end of some flatlines, and it wasn't fun. They definitely travel much further, but I don't know about accuracy.

[Mag Master 04]

my 98 flatty there is an adapter that screws into the threads and then barrel slides into that and clamps tight, its a Biatch to get strait

[cheetah256]

the entire point of the flatline is to shoot a flatter trajectory, hence the name. the distance is a nice side effect.

when you got a cocker fitted with a flatline barrel, you sent the whole thing into WGP, and they milled your body to accept the adaptor. this means the adaptor was *not removable.* that's why it won't work on a ULE body, unless you decided you really want to make a flatline mag, then just get one of doc nickels twist lock/cocker converters and use that, it'd be a hell of a lot cheaper, and align the same way ever time.

[sneakyhacker420]

the reason they have the flatlines on some WGP cockers is because the threads are at the front of the breach, on the ULE bodies, they are further back, not allowing the adapter to thread in all the way and still accept the barrel setup


also, if you shoot a flatline on an angle, the flatline effect spins off to the sides, rather than up, forcing you to always fire with the gun in an upright position


and FYI: the M98 flattys max out at 9-11 BPS before they start breaking paint

[FragTek]

Sneaky, you are missing a critical step in your explanation that contradicts everything about the flatline not mounting correctly due to recessed threads....

You need a cocker to 98 thread changer screwed in first, pushing the 98 threaded area out beyond the front of the ULE body making it possible to screw in the flaline adapter clamp....

[sneakyhacker420]

but did they ever make cocker threaded adapters to accept m98 threads? i've seen cocker to m98, but never m98 to cocker


but this may also cause a problem, the ball would be traveling straight through the adapter, then suddenly hitting a curved surface, rather than traveling the curved surface from the start


just my opinion, but i think flatlines suck :o

Not saying your wrong but I've heard this alot. I can't really think of a reason why they would start breaking though. My only idea is that the balls are traveling at different speeds in the barrel (which is pretty abnormal) and they bump each other.

[FragTek]

U would have to have a custom adapter made by WWA or someone like that.

And the balls would all break in the barrel like you mentioned.
