hi guys i just got my second etek2 in all black and,apon looking at my other one i liked the way the tech built it better as far as the macroline from the asa to the reg not bieng kinked so as i re arranged the set up and started trimming my macroline i accidently cut it too short so now it wont fit,i know stupid,but now im looking for a replacement macroline and as i am able to find the same outer diameter witch is 1/4 inches i cant seem to match the inner diameter witch the inner diameter of the stock macroline my etek2 came with is .125 witch is 1/8 inner ,i have found macroline from macroline guy.com in all colors but the inner diameter of all his stuff is .162 witch is much bigger than the stock macroline my etek2 came with witch is .125 my question is what do i do i dont wanna hurt my new baby by sending an increased air pressure to my gun witch is what macroline of that much greater inner diameter will do,i think planet eclipse uses a smaller inner diameter to tame the air pressure so its more gentle on the reg the bottels i use are 850 psi

IMO:

It's fine, it won't change a thing, either way it's going to put in 850 PSI. If anything, it will be better for recharge rate. Just make sure you re chrono!

man thanks allot for the reply,but i dont have a chrono i just do what planet eclipse says and back the regulator adjustment screw all the way out and then screw it in 5 complete turns as they say it puts the reg at about 200psi then i just adjust till the balls come out accurate with out going wild is that ok?

Do you play at an actual field? If so, they have a chrono...

Well either way, someone in your group should have a chrono, it isn't safe to play at an unregulated speed.
