Palmers Stabilizer

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Well after some research I've decided that a palmers male stabilizer should be my next upgrade for the 98. I don't really need the fire power upgrade yet as I beleive better accuracy over shooting more. But before I spend the money I have a few questions:

    1.  I can switch from C02 to HPA and not have to change anything with the stabilizer right?  Meaning it can handle HPA pressure from a 4500 psi tank?

    2.  What pressure range should I choose?  I'm running on C02 right now but will get a HPA tank soon.   

    Anything else you can think of that I will need? ( already have vertical adapter and will need hose, what kind of hose should I get?)  Thanks for the help guys!

	Yes, you will be able to use CO2 or HPA equally well with the Stabilizer, and you won't have to change anything. Your Model 98 will require an input pressure somewhere in the neighborhood of 700-800 psi to cycle, so figure accordingly when buying your regulator. I prefer good old fashioned steel braided hose for airline connections on my paintball guns.

	When you switch to HPA, just make sure you get a tank with a high-pressure preset output (~800 PSI), and it will work just like CO2. And I would like to second the recommendation of steel-braided hoses over macro-line. I've had problems with leaking in the past, and steel-braided is less risky overall. Also make sure you get any 90° connectors you'll need. They're cheap, so if you wind up with a few extra it's no big deal. Edited by Jack Carver - 26 December 2006 at 10:13pm

	Basically everything they have said and try to get the gun down to 600 psi. Mine works very well at that pressure. I think mine is in the 500-600 psi range.

	How exactly did you bring you gun down to 500-600 psi robocap?

	he just turned down the regulator. you can put gauges on them and see what the output pressure is. I did it with my A-5 for a while but ididnt see a huge improvement i was running about 700 psi. it was more consistent though with Co2. With air, meh i didnt see a huge difference

	Basically just turn the velocity screw out so it is flush with the inside of the powertube and then just tune your velocity with the regulator pressure. Since you don't have an r/t or cyclone a higher pressure to keep those working constantly isn't needed. I have it done on my Pro E and it works flawlessly. Always consistent.
