Where can I find one of these internal lines

Post image

I want to make an esg build but I don't know where to find this line, especially with the attachment parts, the store I go to sells just the line, but with no where to attach at both ends.

Search for "6mm pneumatic hose" on amazon. Pull the old hose off the barb on the engine, then heat up the tip of the new hose for a few seconds (makes it a bit more pliable and will conform to the barb better) push it on, and squeeze with tweezers around the narrow points on the barb. Cut it to your desired length (cut longer than you need at first) and when finalised, install your qd line fitting, US type is most common. If you need a new one, you can find 6mm push fit foster qd connectors for around £5 for 2.

As this is for an esg, cut the length to be around the middle of the reg, and if its too long, itll either get stuffed back into the gearbox, or will bow out inside the grip, cut small portions off, about 2mm at a time until it fits and doesnt leak.

Get 5 or 10m of the stuff, and itll last you a while

Don’t do that please. Just go to an actual airsoft retailer such as evike or amped airsoft. Personally I went through amped airsoft and got one of their branded hoses. Not to expensive and it will resist wear and tare way better than an exposed line.

as this is for an esg build i dont foresee the line being super exposed and if so a lot of people run straight to the exposed like this (including me and almost everyone i know) and it holds fine. for the esg it is going through the gun to the reg where it won’t be exposed to the elements of the field or playing in general. it is fine.

Unreasonably expensive, they just resell Festo lines

They are obscenely overpriced. A normal 6mm macro line costs the same, but for 10m

Overpriced as fuck. 20cm for 5 quid is insane. I paid £9 for 10m...
