Autococker Flatline

[automeister]

Does anyone make flatlines for autococker these days? It is probably a long shot, pun intended, but I figured its worth asking

None that I've heard or seen. There's more to it than just adding a barrel though.

Do you specifically want the flatline? It's easy to put a apex on a barrel

Flatline cockers had a special block on the breach, so was more than just adding a flatline barrel to them. Likely this is because you wouldn’t be able to screw a flatline barrel into a standard cocker. Now could someone make an adaptor/extended breach for a cocker to run a flatline? Very likely! Talk to the 3D printing gurus.

[Chappy]

The problem with an adapter is the ball has time to accelerate before the ramp, which causes mucho breaks. That’s why the block exists instead of a simple adapter, unfortunately

Ummm, the flatline is curved, freaks are straight. I don't see this ending well

I know 🤣🤣 a long standing inside joke with myself

Ok, but what about FSR through a Flatline?

Get an apex barrel basically does the same thing

I prefer the flatline because it has historic and nostalgic value to me

Here is the best I could find. A pretty cold lead...

automeister, they don't crop up often, but when they do I have seen price tags northwards of $1700. A buddy of mine has one but I doubt he'd ever sell it.

Thanks for the lead, I messaged him. We will see

I have seen couple of them come up on ebay. One that was dust, used. Another gloss that looked mint, looked like it was not used.

If I remember correctly, I did not know this before, there are two versions of this. One that was made by wgp as a flatline from the start.

The other they took some some bodies, milled and made a front block conversion to flatline. I have one of these.

DocsMachine would know more. He was the one that told me about the ones that were machined. And I took mine off and sure enough mine is machined. They did not ano the body after it was machine.

I had one a number of years ago. It dripped with OG goodness, but it did NOT like the tiny GI paint of the contemporary era. The only paint I got to shoot remotely okay out of it was some old Nelson Anarchy that had swelled up in the summer humidity. You need large and/or hard paint.

[automeister]

That is an excellent point. I wonder if there is any solution to that. Thank you for bringing that up

There are technically three versions.

2k full size right feeds and 2k mini vertical feeds.

The third type is/was you can send your cocker in for a conversion.
