I currently have an A-5 with a flatline, and an E- Grip,CAR stock, running on CO2. I know that CO2 is not as consistant as hpa, This is obviouse when I get my gun crono'd , there are fluctuations in the fps from 259 to 280. I would also like to get more shots per fill. My questions are as follows, and any constructive non flaming answeres would be greatly appreciated. 1. Is there any real eveidence of A-5 low pressure bolt breakage as I have read about on the forum? 2. what is a good pressure regulator for the A-5 low pressure kit and what range of pressure gauges should I get? 3. Is it possible to have a remote line with hpa? 4. Does anyone have a soup to nuts hpa setup and or an alternative low pressure set up? Thank you your cooperation is greatly appreciated ------------- IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO GIVE THAN RECIEVE.......................A-5 Flatline .....................E-GRIP CO2 for now Digital camo combat harness ; |

A LPK does not affect the bolt or anything, it comes with new internals for your gun, and if you want to use c02 and HPA get a Plamir Reg, or Bob Long Torpedo, if you dont wanna use c02 at all get a Gladator Reg them are all for your needs, and very good regs, a remote line will work the HPA, but does nothing at all, just takes more time for the air to get to the gun (with c02 it makes it act as a x-core in a small way), a nice setup - ur gun with a LPK and Bob Long Reg. Then go shooting man, good luck have fun -------------

I actually live under a rock. I have never heard of bolt breakage. Maybe if you could direct me to a thread about it, I could learn about it. But again, I have never heard of it.
Around here, everyone suggest the Palmer Stabilizer for a reg. The great thing about the palmer stabilizer is it is made for use with CO2. With the palmer stabilizer, you can use CO2 with the LP kit. This is handy if you run out of HPA while playing away from a fill station. CO2 will work with the LP kit, and it is possibly the best way to run CO2. Because of the lower pressures on the output side of the regulator, it is nearly impossible for the CO2 to remain a liquid. And we all know that liquid CO2 causes shoot down and velocity spikes which are the cause of velocity fluxuation (that can't be spelled right). Any remote will work with HPA. All HPA tanks have a regulator on the bottle itself. Even though the pressure inside the bottle will range from 1000-5000 PSI (depending on how full it is), the pressure comming out of the bottle is only 850 PSI or less. Since the remote is rated for 3000 PSI, it will be fine. Sorry, but I don't understand what number 4 is asking. Good luck and I hope this helps some. EDIT: Mike, the primary purpose for a remote line is to get the tank off of the gun. Without the tank on the gun, the gun is lighter and more mobile. Also makes it very easy to tuck. Due to the length of the remote, it works as an expansion chamber. This is just a side effect of the remote, but not the purpose of. -------------

He ment what kind of setup would be best for it. I think... -------------
