    Macro line

    Does anyone know where to purchase truly flexible macro line? Back in the day you could buy line that was hella flexy, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere now that markers all have internal routing. I bought some from Jeff Bezos that was alleged to be flexible, but the product description was inaccurate (as so many things are on Amazon). The line I have is usable, but I have to heat and form it which I really don’t like (too OCD). Any help would be appreciated.

    I use this https://www.mcmaster.com/5173K74/ but it is marked as semi-flexible with a 1-3/4" bend radius and black in color. However McMaster-Carr does sell this https://www.mcmaster.com/9685T3/ which is marked as semi-flexible but has a 1/2" bend radius and an 800 PSI rating. It is semi-transparent and I have never used it.

        I don’t think this is what you’re looking for but has anyone tried this?

          Yes, that seller is me. Is not soft and super flexible (nor should it be).

        The super flexible stuff that used to be sold is not rated for paintball pressures. Highly susceptible to bursting.

          I have a big ass Roll of some really nice macroline that I picked up awhile ago that PBtek turned me onto. Its great stuff with a 590psi working pressure and at duro 78 is the most flexible I've ever used. PM me and I'll be happy to send you some for a very reasonable fee. I've got it on an automag and 2 cockers with 850psi input for close to a year with no issues. Made in the USA to.

          the hardness on the first one with the 1.75" bend radius is listed as "hard" by McMaster, so I'm guessing its akin to what i have now. the second might work, but i'm weird about aesthetics and i don't think it'd look very good.

          president skroob and i thank you, though!

            I was pretty sure on this but was waiting for someone else to mention it.

              Got the macro line today. Awesome stuff. Works like a champ and way more flexible than the janky Amazon line I already had.

              Thanks, Dr Cemento!
