I have it on fairly good authority that the article is/was still used by AGD customer support and linked to whenever someone had questions. So, in the spirit of rebuilding...
I would also be interested in replacing this article from a backup, if it's possible. If for no other reason than to preserve the google link.
And a c+p of the thread:
AGD FLATLINE REBUILD GUIDE
Ok, folks, if you are like me and enjoy running regs that have a ridiculously high out put range AND a fast recharge
rate, you are in luck. Here is a disassembly and reassembly guide that is right up your alley!
The Flatline regulator is a classic reg from Airgun Designs that could make any modern regulator blush... Basically, it
combines a stratospherically high output with a disgustingly fast recharge rate. And the best part is, they are very
cheap and easy to find these days! So, for about 7 bucks in orings and about an hour of your time, you can have
yourself a really nice adjustable reg.
One side note: This guide is for a 3000 psi Flatline. There are 4500 psi Flatlines are out there, but sadly they not as
good (as the 3000 psi version) in my humble opinion. The 4500 psi Flatlines need to be rebuilt quite often and suffer
from some odd problems.
Oh, and just for clarification, this reg was sitting in some basement for a decade, this is essentially documenting my
rescue effort. But... Onto the guide:
1) Clear a space. Do yourself a favor, clear a large space on a flat table. Vacuum the floor, and made sure it is clean.
This makes finding a lost part very easy later.
2) Assemble your tools + parts: You WILL need the following tools...
* 7/32 Allen wrench
* 1/8 Allen wrench
* .050 Allen wrench (the tiny one)
* 7/16 wrench
* Dental pick or probe
* Teflon tape or Loctite thread locker
* AGD Flatline rebuild kit
* Q Tips
* Paper towels
* Bin for parts
* Gold Cup (BE VERY CAREFUL USING THIS, I will explain later)
`
Item(s) that would be handy to have...
* Cclip ring tool
* Razor knife
* Tom Kaye
3) Let's Begin: OK, now that you have all of your tools and a clean space to work, let us begin the disassembly. Take
your tank + reg and separate them. PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE TANK IS EMPTY!
(See how the tank is empty :p)
