LPK and palmers

Never seen it with CO2 but it does work well with HPA

The palmers male stabilizer fits into the low pressure chamber assembly that comes with the low pressure kit. No, regulators don't replace any components of the kit, they simply thread into the assembly given you get one with male threads.

The steel braided hose goes from the air source adapter to the regulator present on this marker.

 

Here is the kit. No regulator included. Get the idea of where it fits in now?

Yes you must supply youre own regulator, unless if you happen to buy it used from somewhere and the vendor bundles it with a reg. Yes a regulator is required for the kit i believe. It would kind of defeat the meaning of the LPK if you try to find a way to make your gun low pressure without a primary reg for co2, or a secondary one for HPA. LP kits help consistency, and if you're going to pay that much aiming for it by buying the system, might as well not half-arse if with the reg.

And yes to your quick Q. Both stabilizers regulate pressure. One has MALE threads while the other has FEMALE threads. The female version will not screw into the LPK's chamber assembly. To help illustrate this to you with examples, MALE threads are found on your tank, and FEMALE ones are the threads that your tank screws into. The female setup would have the stabilizer mounted via rings on the bottom of your marker's grip, and your tank would screw directly into it. Personally, i prefer the male setup, but whatever floats your boat. Google the two before any drastic decisions. Also, for cost effectiveness, investing in just the stabilizer should be a good enough upgrade, you DONT need to go all out and get everything.

Are you familiar with the benefits of the LPK? Would its increased weight to the marker be of favor to you? Take your time, and good luck.

It's a great upgrade alone. Well the LPK allows you to have your A-5 operate at a lower pressure, reducing the recoil/kick. Depending on your setup, I believe that it improves efficiency. I've had my hands on a 98 with the LPK, and I personally didn't mind the weight. The stabilizer improves efficiency by keeping your velocity consistant, thus reducing the plague of crazy spikes that would hinder the efficiency. The point of a regulated setup (being a single or double regulated system) is to keep your marker as consistent as possible, while providing the user with the ability to fine-tune how much pressure is entering the marker (worry about tuning it after the purchase, focus on whether you want to put your money towards improved efficiency). By keeping your velocity consistent, your shots should be more consistant and closer to your target. This improves PRECISION.

No problem. Hope you're happy with your future upgrades!
