| hey guys, ive got a c98 pro and its has a flatline barrel cyclone hopper remote line and a car stock, i love it awesome gun, but when i first got it fitted the flatline etc i was nailing the same tree about 700mm wide from about 60meters away i was very happy! but since then havnt used it in atleast 1 year and its shooting crap as, do paintballs expire ? even the balls i opened up out of the sealed packs made no diff!? anyways besides all this i was looking at a inline regulator for my remote line as i have a Type 68 Tacamo also, and would like to share that mod with 2 markers, also whats the diff between a stabilizer and a regulator ? just need a little help, and maybe whats would be a good next mod for my 98 as i love it dont plan on upgrading! Thanks |

Year old paint is probably the problem. Check it for dimples. Check Palmers Pursuit for regulators etc. They have a section that describes both and I have been told they are very helpful. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |

Yes, paint does "go bad" if you let it sit for long periods of time without rotating it or if it is stored in unfavorable (too hot/too cold) conditions. As for the Stabilizer vs. regulator, a Stabilizer is a regulator...that's just Palmer's name for it. I'm assuming you're running CO2 and if that's the case the Palmer's is the best regulator for CO2. My personal belief is that I wouldn't buy anything but a Stabilizer for CO2 as I believe it would be a waste of money. ------------- New to the sport? http://www.b17queenofthesky.com/paintball/index.html">

If you want to use it as an inline with a remote, this page is what you are looking for. http://www.palmer-pursuit.com/online-catalog/stabilizer-inline.htm - http://www.palmer-pursuit.com/online-catalog/stabilizer-inli ne.htm

I'd also break down the marker and give it a good cleaning/lubing as well. Make sure you chrono and tune the flatline again as well. The next time you store the marker, make sure to give it a good lubing. Also make sure NOT to store the marker cocked. You'll end up ruining your main drive spring. -------------
