Hello, I' know this might be newbish, but I'm about to buy a palmer
setup and am wondering if I'm purchasing all the necessary things...
Here's what I got in the cart so far: 1/8" NPT - 90' (1/4" hose) 1/4" Macro Line 1/8" NPT (1/4" hose) 1/4" Teflon Tape 0-900psi Stabilizer Female w/1200psi Gauge Ring Mount ASA to Hose Adaptor Lapco Universal Mount for A-5 Just wondering if I'm leaving anything out that I need... My tank will screw right into the Stabilizer, correct? This is for an A-5 obviously. |

| I would, I don't have enough money though. Would there be any reason to wait two more weeks so I can afford a male stabilizer though? I honestly don't know the difference between a male and a female other than the male doubling as an expansion chamber. Having a drop forward is no big issue with me, I'm going remote soon anyway. The drop forward is what I don't have the extra $25-50 for. |

The difference is how they're set up. The male screws right into the tombstone adapter. The female takes place of the ASA adapter (I think...). ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |

Okay... well I've decided to wait on the E-grip for now and get a male
palmer setup, new barrel, upgraded internals instead. And I'm quite
confused about what I need to look for in a drop forward... I know I
need a universal adapter to mount regular drops to the A-5, but that's
about all I know. I'm rather confused about the whole dovetail thing. So here's my current planned setup: Male stabilizer NPT fittings and macro line Universal mount I don't know what I need to buy for a drop, I do however know what I want. Something really small like a micro drop that only drops the tank 3/8" and a good on/off ASA. Any suggestions? |

| Or maybe I should just go with the female and an expansion chamber? I'm getting confused now......... |

If you go remote, then you can get an In-Line Palmer. Same thing as Male/Female, cept it goes directly onto your remote with no fittings. $54! that's it Unless you want the stabilizer on the front for a reason, then get it.

| What about a dual setup? Female or male on the gun and an inline on the remote? I'm still wondering about the drop forwards though. |

Why do you want 2? One is good enough (i supose that is what you are talking about). Two Palmers=overkill ------------- Founder of the "Forumers Against the Ugly Woman Sigs" also known as FAUWS. |

| Well okay... I don't need two. I guess once again my main question is what do I need to look for for drops? Are all drops the standard dovetail thing on the bottom for an ASA? |
