Question Macro line....

How would get a macro line from my tombstone to my ASA? Is there a kit?

Re: Macro line....

You'll need a new tombstone adapter as you can't remove the factory braided line from it. You can use your stock ASA, though.

In addition you'll need a 90* macroline fitting, a straight macro fitting, and an appropriate length of macro. I'm assuming you want to use your stock ASA and set it up similar to the braided line.

Detach the 90* braided line fitting from the ASA by using a hairdryer to loosen it. Now wrap teflon tape around the 90* macro fitting and screw it in where the stainless fitting was. Ensure it points in the same direction as the old fitting. Attach the macroline.

Now take your new tombstone adapter and screw in the straight macro fitting. Remember to use teflon tape on the threads. When it's properly threaded, attach the macro fitting.

Attach the ASA to the bottom of the trigger group, screw the tombstone adapter into the tombstone, and you're done.

Re: Macro line....

Edit: Bah, I can't read. Oh well, I'll make this post worth something...

The Unrealist pretty much has this one down exactly. There isn't a kit (as far as I know) to do this so you'll have to buy all of the parts individually and do it yourself. Honestly, I don't see a point in simply replacing the braided-steel line set-up with the same set-up using macroline. It's more expensive, less reliable and there is no performance difference. If you want it black (just a guess), just use some heat-shrinkable tubing.

Re: Macro line....

Home Depot electrical section
The Source (Canada) / Radio Shack (USA)
Wal-Mart
Any store with an electrical section.

You'll need 1/2" tubing.
