Im looking to buy the T2W air thru stock for my pump gun (V2 Classic Sniper) but the thing is i dont know how to use macro lines or how to fit them to the gun ive seen them done but dont really understand how they stay on with all that pressure.

If I miss you had better hope you can run 300 fps. O.S.O.K.

It's pretty simple & using them has basically become the standard for air lines. Some players still don't trust it & prefer using braided lines... to each their own. I've been using macro flawlessly for over 3 years now.

The macroline just slides into the macro fitting. The fitting has barbs on the inside that hold the line in place.

You bought the brand, not my allegiance.

You can just slide them into the fittings and they're good to go.

Be sure to cut sleightly LONGER than you need and then trim down gradually. You can always cut shorter, but you can't make the macroline longer.

(As a side note: The T2W should come with quite a bit of macroline in the box for you)

You attach them to 90 degree macro fittings in most cases. It is quite simple, you just push them in until you feel a sort of click. To take them out, you push them in and they slide out. And then hold. Make sure that the macroline is long enough, AND that the end is flat, not jagged.

Someone will come in and post a better explanation.
