Im just a little confused as to how i would combine the low pressure kit with
the Palmers pursuit shop stabilizer to use CO2 with the LPK. I heard this makes a great combo. But i dont know, is there a guide anywhere? a picture? or does the Palmers replace a part of the LPK? Iv'e searched around and i cant seem to find a picture or example of this setup. --on an A-5 by the way. --Thanks ------------- Check out my website, tell me what you think: http://www.freewebs.com/christiansprojects |

Never seen it with CO2 but it does work well with HPA ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

I believe the LPK does not come with, but requires a regulator. The Palmers would be the required regulator for the LPK. |

The palmers male stabilizer fits into the low pressure chamber assembly that comes with the low pressure kit. No, regulators don't replace any components of the kit, they simply thread into the assembly given you get one with male threads.
The steel braided hose goes from the air source adapter to the regulator present on this marker.
Here is the kit. No regulator included. Get the idea of where it fits in now? |

Yea, i believe so, so i supply my own regulator? and do you know if what the
regulator in the kit is (name, brand at all?) and a regulator would be required for this kit, true? --Thanks edit: Quick Q= Does the Palmers male and Female Stabilizers do the same thing? and does the female go over the part the Male stabilizer would screw into or what? i was just wondering, because from what i've been seeing, the Male fitting Stabilizer is very long. ------------- Check out my website, tell me what you think: http://www.freewebs.com/christiansprojects |

Yes you must supply youre own regulator, unless if you happen to buy it used from somewhere and the vendor bundles it with a reg. Yes a regulator is required for the kit i believe. It would kind of defeat the meaning of the LPK if you try to find a way to make your gun low pressure without a primary reg for co2, or a secondary one for HPA. LP kits help consistency, and if you're going to pay that much aiming for it by buying the system, might as well not half-arse if with the reg. And yes to your quick Q. Both stabilizers regulate pressure. One has MALE threads while the other has FEMALE threads. The female version will not screw into the LPK's chamber assembly. To help illustrate this to you with examples, MALE threads are found on your tank, and FEMALE ones are the threads that your tank screws into. The female setup would have the stabilizer mounted via rings on the bottom of your marker's grip, and your tank would screw directly into it. Personally, i prefer the male setup, but whatever floats your boat. Google the two before any drastic decisions. Also, for cost effectiveness, investing in just the stabilizer should be a good enough upgrade, you DONT need to go all out and get everything. Are you familiar with the benefits of the LPK? Would its increased weight to the marker be of favor to you? Take your time, and good luck. |

Are you saying that the Palmers pursuit shop stabilizer (male setup) is a
fantastic upgrade alone? and the LPK with it would not add to much but weight? with the Stabilizer, is my co2 efficiency improved? and this stabilizer WILL help my consistency, accuracy, efficiency too right? ------------- Check out my website, tell me what you think: http://www.freewebs.com/christiansprojects |

| It's a great upgrade alone. Well the LPK allows you to have your A-5 operate at a lower pressure, reducing the recoil/kick. Depending on your setup, I believe that it improves efficiency. I've had my hands on a 98 with the LPK, and I personally didn't mind the weight. The stabilizer improves efficiency by keeping your velocity consistant, thus reducing the plague of crazy spikes that would hinder the efficiency. The point of a regulated setup (being a single or double regulated system) is to keep your marker as consistent as possible, while providing the user with the ability to fine-tune how much pressure is entering the marker (worry about tuning it after the purchase, focus on whether you want to put your money towards improved efficiency). By keeping your velocity consistent, your shots should be more consistant and closer to your target. This improves PRECISION. |

Great! thanks for all your help! I think im gonna go with a Stabilizer first,
and if that not enough and if the guns wieght doesnt bother me completely, i may think about adding an LPK, from tons of reviews and clips and comments, it seems like a reliable product, well worth the money, but i'll just have to wait and see. haha, Thanks again! ------------- Check out my website, tell me what you think: http://www.freewebs.com/christiansprojects |
