macro vs micro line

[Soopa Villain17]

whats the difference between the 2 , i want to use one of them instead of stainless on my new tac one .

bump

use Macro. Micro has a much smaller air flow/capacity whatever you want to call it - its just too small to fuel the mag.


Macro is the way to go.



*i'm sure tunaman will chime in about how cool his macroline is *

[Soopa Villain17]

when i bought my tac one from tuna i think he said stainless is better , but i dont like the look of it

[Skoad]

stainless is nice, personally I like macroline.


You can get stainless line and then shrink-wrap it with some black, or anycolor you want rubber coating.

I'm sure tunaman, Rogue, or a few other people can get that for you.

[Soopa Villain17]

i hear alot of people bad talking macro line. what is so bad about it ?

[Conversekidz]

it leaks over time at the fittings.

[Soopa Villain17]

but then you just buy more right ? its cheap enough

I buy the parker line from Tuna and it's never failed or blown on me.

[FSU_Paintball]

Never use microline. It doesn't flow as much air, and it's more apt to blow up.

I've used macroline for a few years now. I've never had so much as a leak. I had leaks using stainless more often than I do now. Cut it straight with a sharp blade and it won't give you trouble.

Get good macro, though. The cheap stuff can blow up.

See, I've never had the macro line itself blow. The fittings, on the other hand... I had a fitting repeatedly blow on one of my friend's guns. Ticked me off so much I eventually just threw a stainless end on there. Make sure you get good ones.

kila sells the shrink wrap for the stainless lines. search for it in the bst forum. I got some blue stuff with the AO logo on it. looks pretty nice and its cool to put it on heat it and watch it shrink.

[JRingold]

I still like the stainless braided shrink-wrapped as I've had mine since 1996 and never had a problem. I switched over to Macroline this year, and switched back. 'nuff said.

I hate to act like a salesman, so I will offer you a foot to try for free.

I sell macroline, and wouldn't use any other. In the thousands of feet I have sold I have not heard of it bursting even once, and I can guarantee it to be the most flexible out there.

PM me your address if you wanna try a little.

i jsut bought some macro fittings from my firend but i have no macro line to use with it. i hate the look of steel braided so im switching to macro, however i dont have any macroline to use for the fittings.

i can re-imberse u for the shippnig cost of about a foot of macro line.

pme me if you can help me out and save me a couple bucks
