    Thickest macroline available, highest pressure?

    I need about a foot and a bit of the thickest black macroline that can handle the pressure swings of CO2.

    I have a Taso vert adapter for a classic mag that is a 'blem' I suppose, and is drilled a bit off center. I cannot get braided line to work properly on the top run due to it and I mean not to spend more than a couple of bucks on some fittings and this line, if I can find it. If not I might just try to utilize some aluminum hard line.

    Links or...?

      I have zero idea what the state of Smart Parts/Gog/Whatever they are calling themselves today is. Any help on that?

        I've got some stuff rated to 900psi, and I think Maggot sells/sold some rated that or higher.

          Thanks. Like you have it for sale, or I should check with Maggot?

            Check with Maggot... I'd sell you some but shipping from Canada gets pricey.

              None of the Macro -Lines are rated for CO2. The "better" stuff will work most of the time but it is highly susceptible to bursting on hot days. Static pressure of CO2 at 70*F is somewhere around 850 psi and that is the rating of the best Macro-line I have seen and that does not account for the pressure spikes during phase changes of change in temperature.

                I would prefer to use braided, but reasons. I don't play when it gets really hot out, and always throw a white towel over my CO2 rig when sunny out and sitting.

                Fully understand I have setup phantoms with Macro-Line in the past but after having a couple burst while on the field (and scaring the crap out of me) I just refuse to run it with CO2. I currently have on HPA setup marker using it (Blazer) but if I can ever stop being lazy I will bend up some hardline I have for it.

                I have a bit of hardline on hand and have considered that as well. The issue there becomes the orings in your macro fittings. I am attempting to find some of the old Angel Beehives for this build. I want to put it together (lvl7 classic mag freshly rebuilt) and not touch it again in the case that I actually ever play a game again. Been to the field three times this past year and touched my marker one of those days. I just sold everything I had aside this marker, a revi, and a CO2 tank to Jake for someone else to enjoy. I intend to spend as little as possible making any of this happen at this point. I got a car habit to pay for. (crack is cheaper)

              Air Soldier's is rated a hair higher in pressure than what I sell.
              You won't have any issues using the good stuff. I've been selling and running this line personally for over 10 years and there's not been a single burst that I'm aware of. I use it with co2 regularly.
              It's the cheap, soft stuff that gave macro a bad name.

                Your Macro has been great for me. I use the heck out of it. I like that it seems to fit snugger in Macro fittings as well. As if the OD is bigger, or more consistent then the cheap stuff Ive always used. Haven’t had a leak since I started using it.

                Thank you! It's definitely gives a satisfying "snap" when it's all the way in. The cheapo crap you can practically just pull right out with out even compressing the collar.

              Use the good stuff and don't yank on it when it leaks.

              The thick macro is stiffer, especially when it is cold. It tends to leak a little longer when you first add pressure, compared to thin macro. For a couple of years, my son would hook his finger in the co2 line of his pump mag, pulling on it to get it to stop leaking. That spot eventually burst right where it was always stressed (without injury).

              It's a generally good policy to be good to your gas system and replace damaged components.
