I just bought a palmers reg and im planing on buyin a good quality RVA. Any recommendations? I heard the Dead on one sux. I want one that the setting stays without having to tighten a screw. Also do i needa new spring kit in order to increase tension on the spring or can the RVA do that to the stock spring?

An RVA is pretty much pointless after you have a reg on the marker as you will use the reg to chrono your marker from here on out to give you the best consistency and efficiency. Raising spring tension with an RVA would only increase the dwell of the valve (the length of time the valve stays open) which isn't really necessary as you will now control the air-flow through using a set pressure at a given volume to keep the shots going the same speed. Simply put, the RVA would be nothing more than a superficial accessory that would give you no use what-so-ever. If you really want one.... that's up to you, but I'd keep my money for something else.
