I am considering buying a LPK for my 98c and i have some questions:

1 will my Stabilizer work with the kit

2 will it have any advantage with CO2

I would get N2 but I cant

1 Your stab should work with the kit (if it's male).
2 You should get more shots per tank.

I do recommend however, that you look into HPA sometime soon.

We have 2 50lb CO2 tanks at my house and I dont have the money to buy a scuba and a small tank.

We play woods at my house and I cant afford to drive somewhere to fill tanks

The LPK requires a regulator...whether using COor compressed air.

yes you need a reg...and as said before...it will work fine with co2 as long as your reg is a male one.  Oddly enough...the lpk works fine with no reg...its just a little inefficient, loud and messed up.  Just use a reg like the stab...the co2 will work great.

I have been using the Rufus Dawg power tube/bolt first with CO2 then with HPA. Has worked well with both.

BTW, the low pressure kit won't be a low pressure kit if there is no regulator in the system. If you don't supply low pressure with a Stabilizer or other suitable regulator, there is no reason to install the LP power valve, Volumizer and hammer. There is no value  in the LPK installation if you are going to continue to run at standard pressures.

I'm pretty sure the LPK kit comes with lightweight internals.  So, unless your Rufus Dawg pieces are lighter than those that come with the LPK then you'll probably want to use what the LPK comes with.

The rufus dawg peices are the powertube and front bolt... They weigh like NOTHING...

I was saying, the LPK comes with a powertube, and I am wondering if i can use my Rufus Dawg Powertube with the LPK

I assume it would work alright as long as i use the LP Valve

of course you can...why couldn't you.  The stock vavle fits in the rd powertube, so will the lp one.  the lpk doesnt change the front bolt, but a different one doesn't change much of anything...i use a delerin front bolt w/ my lpk...it works great.

Canadians do it on top.

If you would have read more carefully I said i have a Palmer Stab, which does the same thing as and expansion chamber but better.

As FA22 says, why coudn't you? The power tube and forward bolt, if it works Okay with standard pressures, will work just as well with the LPK.

THIS makes it look like the LPK comes with a Powertube, and I was just wondering if i HAD to use the powertube that came with it.

"Powertube and Valve Assembly ported and modified for low pressure gas."
