I'm considering a palmer stabilizer and i would like to know what kind i would need and if I need anything else for it to fit and operate correctly i.e. new hose, vertical adapters, etc. ------------- *Custom Pro *Cyclone feed *X7 hopper *M16 Carry Handle *BT 16 Apex Barrel *Car Stock *remote *camo paint job *Single point sling *JT Full Coverage Camo *realtree RAP4 vest |

It depends where you want to mount the stabilizer i think you can get the direct stabilizer to fit straight into the 98, or if you use the vertical adapter you can get a male stabilizer to go where your forgrip is. You will need some new hoses i personaly got some 90 elbows and macro line as it can be cut to the length you need and saves fitting the parts then mesuring and getting a new hose. i hope that answers your question if not you can have a read on plamers pursuit website and send them an email i have always found them to be very helpfull. ------------- A5 lp kit palmers stabilizer e-grip flatline or j&j ceramic several bits and mods mostly for show |

| I loved my female stabalizer. Gives the gun a much smaller profile and is overall more comfortable. You don't have to buy anything extra except maybe a 90* fitting for your hose line. That is unless there is one already on your ASA. |

would you happen to have a pic of your gun with it on?

from my experience, you don't need palmer stabilizer. (but not all marker perform the same). two of my friends had palmer stabilizer, one of them sold it and other one trade it. If you have a friends w/stabilizer, to try it out first. You might not be satisfied with the out come/result. I would suggest, spend your money on hpa tank, instead of that palmer. -------------

but the main reason i want it is to get better efficiency by regulating the air entering the marker and hpa won't solve that problem ------------- *Custom Pro *Cyclone feed *X7 hopper *M16 Carry Handle *BT 16 Apex Barrel *Car Stock *remote *camo paint job *Single point sling *JT Full Coverage Camo *realtree RAP4 vest |

Actually, it will. Unless you are going to go low-pressure with your marker, the regulating the flow of air into it below 800-850psi will just starve the valve for air. CO2 has a constant stable gaseous state of 850psi, hence the standard operating pressure for most run-of-the-mill markers is between 800-850 psi to account for this particular property. High-pressure-output HPA tanks put out a regulated flow of 800-850 psi until the pressure inside the tank drops below that, then you will see a few shots drop short of the normal mark and you'll proceed to run out of air quickly since the tank is almost empty at that point. If you interested in fine-tuning your tippmann by going LP, or in getting another marker that requires HPA and an inline reg to drop the pressure, or if you play in cold climates and want to keep liquid out of the marker and regulate the input pressure using CO2 to keep from getting spikes, then a palmer's stabilizer would be a good thing to get. My personal opinion, go with a good HPA High-Output tank. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

I've seen somewhere on this forum that an un modified tippmann can run on about 500? ------------- *Custom Pro *Cyclone feed *X7 hopper *M16 Carry Handle *BT 16 Apex Barrel *Car Stock *remote *camo paint job *Single point sling *JT Full Coverage Camo *realtree RAP4 vest |

does this one look good? it seems kinda cheap. how many shots would it get? http://www.paintball-discounters.com/get_item_010519_pure-energy-hpa-tank-48ci-3000psii-aluminum.htm - hpa tank ------------- *Custom Pro *Cyclone feed *X7 hopper *M16 Carry Handle *BT 16 Apex Barrel *Car Stock *remote *camo paint job *Single point sling *JT Full Coverage Camo *realtree RAP4 vest |

500 or less is actually where the LPK sets it. You're going to be closer to 700-750 unmodded since you'd have to change the valve's dwell characteristics to do so without adding more volume to the valve chamber. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

I have an X7 and I am kind of forced to stay with CO2 because my friend has a CO2 fill station. I am too weak to turn down free fills. I am new to paintball and I am not sure what a stabilizer does, or what a regulator does. What do they do, and do I need either of them? By the way, I also have a response trigger installed if that makes any difference. Thank you for any help. |
