What is a good second stage reg, I thought about getting one from hybrid but is there any better to let me run on low psi?

i have heard nothing but good from AKA products (sidewinder) Mac Deev's Gladiator is supposed to be very good as well.

sidewinder is like a max-flo too much stuff to mess around with go with a CP (its more consitant then my palmers stabalizer)

how much is your price range. I would go with a fatty stabilizer. Its cheaper than the original, smaller and doesn't require you to buy the LP spring like the original.
I have 2 of the originals. they adjust from 0-900psi. they work pretty decent and require basically no maintenance. I run them on 2 cockers.

my price range would probably be no more than $200.

The Sidewinder is an excellent reg and it is actually one of the most simple regulators on the market. There are 2 orings on the adjustment screw, one oring on the stem and one around the stem. I have been using a Sidewinder for 2.5 years or so and have never had any trouble whatsoever with them. They are simple, maintenance free, good regulators.

can someone post a link for the sidewinder?

Stabilizer=my kind of part. Never had the slightest bit of want for more performance and no maintenance. I have 3. I'd get a fatty.

sidewinder is a great reg

i would either go with a sidewinder or a customproducts reg
both are great and really consistant after you break them in

I'll be the odd man out and say torpedo.

Once they're broken in (reg seals are hard as granite, but durable as hell), they are very consistent.

i highly reccomend a sidewinder, or a CP for a bit less money

Sidewinders require next to no maintenance...they're nothing like MaxFlo's.

I highly doubt a new product is cheaper than the original (the stabilizer). The original (IIRC) didn't require an LP spring and the fatty is not 0-900, they're 0-450.

that's way plenty for an inline... I think with the exception of the MaxFlo (which I wouldn't get anyway), no inline goes for more than $100.

hmmm, i thought you needed ~150 psi difference between each reg for them to be consistent? aka, in my case, 1k coming out of the 68/45 AA Apoc, 850 coming out of the AA Black Ice, then tune the Xvalve til your fps is right (which would be ~700psi?) or am i totally confused?

A) It's actually 200-250 psi difference
B) The X-Valve doesn't need an inline regulator... adding one will actually decrease performance
C) Though I forgot to mention it before, the Torpedo is basically a Stabilizer clone.

I remember TK telling Flyboi to run higher pressure if he wanted a better ROF on his X mag. Same with the E Mag with lvlX. In inline will just drop your pressure. I think Flyboi is running somewhere close to 1000psi input.

If this isn't going on a Mag I would recommend

Sidwinder
CP

ANS Gen 3 reg.
Super nice for HPA.Very consistant , easy to adjust and rebuild.

To much stuff on a sidewinder? :confused: Have you ever even seen one? There is one adjustment screw on the bottom, like any other inline reg.

Go for the sidewinder... very good regs.

Yes it is, why don't you take a look. Male vertical stab is $100 with no gauge. The new fatty is less at $89 and the guage is included.

Nobody said the fatty was 0-900, that was referring to the original. And yes you can run it anywhere in that range but for best LP results you need to purchase a $30 kit that converts it's max out put to 225psi.

Either way the fatty is a better buy than the regular unless you need that really high output. :

Edit, these are PPS prices by the way since I don't know of any retailers besides them that sell the fatty.

um for a mag i would definetly avoid using more than the tanks input reg mags are high pressure when it comes to input but the pressure gets regulated down bye the vavle to around 650psi so yeah. if its not for any mag then take these guys advice cuz i dont use regs.
