Palmer Stab Questions

i dont know much but the stab wont hurt you if you go to hpa it realy shoudnt affect hpa it might help you

Do you have the maddmann spring? or another spring kit like I told you a little while back?  It might help, same with an RVA, they help adjust the velocity more accurately than the side VA.

First of all you don't need HPA if you get a Palmers stabilizer.  Some will say it works better with CO2.  It was made to handle CO2 - it's the best on the market and you can trust it 100% to work get with CO2.

It doesn't mean that HPA is out of the picture, I would recommend HPA but you don't need it at all.

If you don't feel like forking out tons on HPA I'd say Get the Palmers Male Stabilizer or if you like running a remote then get the Female Stabilizer. 

The Vertical tank and the remote combined with the Female Stab should mean you don't get velocity spikes or problems like that again.

If you don't like remotes, go with the Male version and anti siphon your tank and then you should be set.

Or if you really want to and have the money get HPA with your Palmers, but I'd test it with CO2 first to see how you like it and if you even need to upgrade to HPA.

Hope that helps.

Well it depends what type of marker you have and what exactly you mean screw it into the power tube... if you have a 98 C you'd want an inline and you would need to mill the gun like US_Army_guy did in the Marker Gallery for Jan/Feb tippy of the month. 

But you see the male also attaches into the powertube except there is a Vertical Adapter attaching the male stab and the powertube together.


If you have an A-5 I think what you'd want is the male
stab and you'd attach it to the powertube with the vertical adapter. 

I don't know if an inline would work on the A-5.   So ya I suggest the Male stab.

i want to screw it directly into the CVX, sort of like the purple thing on your gun bruce

i have a 98c its listed in my sig, and i didn't say i was going to get HPA, i said i want to get a palmers for my co2 problem, i dont want to buy an x-chamber because it would useless if i decide to go the HPA route in the future.

i dont want to put the palmer on my front grip, i want the stab in a vertical position screwed in my CVX, and then run the line from the tank (which is on a drop) to the palm

i just need to know which one is the one to do that...

sorry, forgot to look...

Ya, the way US_Army_Guy has his stab is the way i want it...

so you said thats an inline right?

but looking at the length of the stab now, im a little concerned if my drop is going to fit, and i think i might need a shorter gas line...

anyways, what US Army guy did is almost exactly the look im going for, just without the stock and with a drop forward instead on a remote...

EDIT: i just grabbed my marker and compared to US army guy's gun, the drop will work no problem...

The thing is through, i don't really want to have to mill my gun... is there anything i can do to get the same setup but no milling? or am i stuck milling my receivers...

yes you did... i'm sorry, i'm a little retarded like that...

thank you for the help through, i don't think i could of gotten better help if i paid for it...

my apologies Bruce.

You do not need to mill your marker for the Inline Stabilizer to fit. You need an extended fitting. The hole in the bottom of the marker may have to be opened up carefully with a larger drill bit (take everything out and then bolt the halves back together to chase the hole with a larger bit) so there is clearance for the wrench flats on a fitting such as the one below. You may not find this specific style, but you get the idea.

Yes, Lowes, Home Depot or an automotive parts store will have these brass fittings. An automotive speed shop will have aluminum ones like the blue "T" in my signature picture. The aluminum brands are Earl's and Aeroquip...both cost about twice the brass fitting cost.

If you cannot find the extended length fitting (regular automotive store should have them) then two of these screw together will do the trick (aluminum or brass).

Well I guess that is why he milled it. But he could have installed and extension fitting like the one I posted above and not have had to do that.

I would gather that the had the male and adapted as he saw fit for it to work with his marker. But is one hasn't bought the stabilizer yet, then the Inline with fittings would  require less alteration.

I understood that. I had not seen that type of male adapter before.
