| Yeah, it will work good as long as you have a reg on it that can take co2 your gun should be fine. |

1 Your stab should work with the kit (if it's male).
2 You should get more shots per tank. I do recommend however, that you look into HPA sometime soon. ------------- http://tbish.webs.com/tippy.html - My E-Bolted 98 |

We have 2 50lb CO2 tanks at my house and I dont have the money to buy a scuba and a small tank. We play woods at my house and I cant afford to drive somewhere to fill tanks |

The LPK requires a regulator...whether using CO2 or compressed air. -------------

yes you need a reg...and as said before...it will work fine with co2 as long as your reg is a male one. Oddly enough...the lpk works fine with no reg...its just a little inefficient, loud and messed up. Just use a reg like the stab...the co2 will work great.

Oh and also: Can I use my rufus dawg powertube with it? i read a description saying it had a different powertube i assume that it would work fine just maybe not as quiet (it said it was ported) |

I have been using the Rufus Dawg power tube/bolt first with CO2 then with HPA. Has worked well with both. BTW, the low pressure kit won't be a low pressure kit if there is no regulator in the system. If you don't supply low pressure with a Stabilizer or other suitable regulator, there is no reason to install the LP power valve, Volumizer and hammer. There is no value in the LPK installation if you are going to continue to run at standard pressures. -------------

I was referring to the LPK. Can i use my wicked bolt/powertube with the LPK is what i meant. |

| I'm pretty sure the LPK kit comes with lightweight internals. So, unless your Rufus Dawg pieces are lighter than those that come with the LPK then you'll probably want to use what the LPK comes with. |

The rufus dawg peices are the powertube and front bolt... They weigh like NOTHING... I was saying, the LPK comes with a powertube, and I am wondering if i can use my Rufus Dawg Powertube with the LPK I assume it would work alright as long as i use the LP Valve |

of course you can...why couldn't you. The stock vavle fits in the rd powertube, so will the lp one. the lpk doesnt change the front bolt, but a different one doesn't change much of anything...i use a delerin front bolt w/ my lpk...it works great.

i recomend using an expansion chamber opposed to an lpk if your running co2.
------------- Canadians do it on top.

Ok thanks
If you would have read more carefully I said i have a Palmer Stab, which does the same thing as and expansion chamber but better. |

As FA22 says, why coudn't you? The power tube and forward bolt, if it works Okay with standard pressures, will work just as well with the LPK. -------------

http://www.tippmannparts.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=catalog.prodInfo&productID=99&categoryID=8 - THIS makes it look like the LPK comes with a Powertube, and I was just wondering if i HAD to use the powertube that came with it. "Powertube and Valve Assembly ported and modified for low pressure gas." |

The lpk comes with a powertube but you can use whatever you want.

The ad on Tippmannparts IS misleading. I can tell NO difference in the stock power tube and the one supplied with the kit. -------------

| ^^Yes I think they were trying to show that the valve is modified, but it is not visible because the powertube is in the way and they wanted to show it. |
