I'm looking into replacing my Flatline with an Apex barrel, but I'm not a fan of the corner hook or drop-shots. I'll probably be attaching it for the time to my J&J Barrel by doing a Tape-X mod, and later on probably a Lapco bigshot or C-series.

I was wondering if there is an apex adapter, or a mod that can be done to a pre-existing one, that would disallow rotation of the apex tip about the adapter? I ask because I don't want to end up whacking the tip against a tree and having to waste time getting it dead vertical again.

Enlighten me?

hey there, easiest to do would just be tighten the 4 screws on the apex nice and snug to your barrel , i know if i got one or two turns to far the adapter will not budge

Yep, all you have to do is tighten the back two screws a little more than usual and it will snug up pretty tight. Just make sure you don't try and wrench the screws in super far, or you'll strip the plastic.

Will this work with the Tape-X mod?

It should, just make sure you use enough tape that you can tighten it down.

You know, KRA...my gun is starting to look a WHOLE LOT like yours...It's not intentional, but it just is.

Not much you can do to make one A2 look different from another, though...

Remember that if you ever do get a Bigshot, the Apex tip will not fit on the end.

I was planning to get the Apex-ready version.

Huh, I didn't know that there was an Apex-ready Bigshot. Carry on then. Although if it's in your price range, I believe that you would get even better results going with a Palmer's brass barrel.

I believe the brass is not machined for an Apex but rather has an apex adapter slid over it.

I've heard of adapters being pulled off...so that's not something I want to chance.
