Hi I'm having issues witth an a-5 I bought from a buddy of mine. The gun shoots fine sometime but once in a while the balls are curving left and right out of the gun. Is this an issue with pressure or is the barrel getting diirty and need a good cleaning? Please help any troubleshooting ideas are greatlly appreciated.

Im going to guess the laint is a bit small,however I think with a flatline a smaller bore ball should be ok....if your shooting 250-300 fps they should be flying straight and flat...was the flatline used heavily? I believe the finish on the inside causing drag on the ball does wear away over time.. Could be worn...? And last , make sure the paint and barrell are free of oil. Try not to over oil the gun , oil takes away the friction needed to cause spin on the balls giving the shot that straight flat shot... If theirs no drag you pretty much only got a oversized barrell .... Just my 2 cents

Darth, i have had the sam problem with my flatline, I have found that if you keep at at 250FPS they will shoot straight.I also recomend that you go to HPA to avoid spikes.
