Subject: Regulator for HPA on my A-5

I am thinking that a regulator would be a good thing to add to my a-5 now that I am using HPA instead of CO2.  I bought a fixed output tank and the first time I hooked up to it I blendered like crazy.  Would this have been caused by not having a reg or more by using the marker with the velocity set for CO2 and not for HPA?
If I am going to need or even if it would be a good upgrade, I would appreciate recomendations for a good regulator that I can mount on my tank.
Thanks,
Adam G

You need to adjust your velocity when you switch between air sources.

Velocity adjustment is a good thing. Look into a Palmers stabilizer. They work on CO2 and HPA.

OK.  That is kind of what I was thinking.

Which Palmer stabilizer will I need to go on my tank?

male, female, transgender?

I am also assuming that the stabilizer will work with a low pressure kit, and will act as the regulator necessary to run the LPK.  is this assumption correct?

thanks,

If you install a LPK you MUST install a secondary regulator. The Palmer is one of the best.

OK I have read that.  The question now is which Palmer should I go with.  It looks like they dont make a unit that mounts to the HPA tank, all of them appear to need to be either on the tombstone or otherwise mounted to the marker, Like the sig picture above.  I have seen some people use a bracket that mounts it over the Cyclone piston.  How many other options are there?

Thanks,

Call Palmer and ask! (916) 923-9676 

The female Stabilizer can be mounted in place of the ASA. It could also be screwed onto the HPA tank carried on your back and a remote line connected.
