Which LPR to use on my Pneumag?

[Frizzle Fry]

I've got a few LPRs available to me at a significant discount. I'm wondering, which have people used successfully on pneumags? Which do you all think would be best for use on a cheater-systemed pneumag with an X-valve? I've already got a mounting point and it's not a sleeper.


My options are (new, in red):

$20 - ANS Jackhammer 2

$45 - Oracle Tickler

$65 - PPS Rock

[SSP REAPER]

go with the orracle tickler. I have used everything and find they are the easiest to use and adjust. Plus they are small and can be hidden

[Smoothice]

what kind of pressure does the cheater need to work properly?

The ticklers apparently don't work great at very low operating pressures. Something to think about.

Zap says that the cheater should be able to actuate the sear with around 10 PSI from the LPR. He suggests going with a Micro-Rock. I've got an Outkast LPR on my cheater, and it seems to work okay. Though I also have a Micro-Rock which I just need to get a new part for to get it 100% again, then I'll be putting that on instead. Check over in MCarterbrown.com and customcockers.com (or even here), I've seen a few micro-rocks for sale, one I think was less than $30.

One thing I'd need if I went with the Microrock is for it to be red. I'm old and stubborn enough to get what I want on my marker even if it means waiting PPS would have been my first choice if there was a Microrock available in red.

So mixed reviews on the tickler, huh?

Here you go: Palmers Rock for $35 brand new

I ordered one. They will function the best, and since your talking about a pretty quick recharge rate, this might be one of the best you can go with.

what makes it a cheater? On my pnuemag, I use a tickler, and on my egomag, I will be using an outcast.

Good man! Hmmmm... I guess I could do that, and maybe a red knob for it? Is there such a beast?

Remember, that is the full size rock (about twice as long as the Micro). And I know that I have seen different colored rock knobs around. Shocktech and I think Dye made some, I'm sure Palmer's will have one or two around as well.

The rock lite is a fullsize? OK.

Length is no biggie. I'm not trying to hide it, and it'll run along the bottom of the barrel.


*edit: Looks like a Lite Rock in gloss red with a black knob is $82.25 from PPS direct. This is a toughie, price or nice?

Cheater is juat the name Zap gave his pnuemag coversion. It's an all in one dohicky that is made to mount in the intelliframe with no modifacation. Check out the dealer forum for more info.

It seems like the rock/microrock is the best option(or atleast the option u trust the beat :P) for the cheater. If you did want to look into the tickler then check out paintball-online. They have new ones for $15, not sure of they have any red ones though.

Man, that is pretty pricy, though they are some of, if not the best regulators around. FYI, the "lite" connotation isn't correct (as far as I know). There are two kinds of Rocks, full size (the original, a bit larger, and the one on the e-bay sale), and Micro (about 1/2 as long).

[Stayhuge]

Yes,, they mislabeled it. It is a full size rock. $35 is a steal for these. People would spend $35 for a Tickler New. This is way better as an LPR. Most people don't like them because they are larger, but definitely one of, if not the most consistent LPR's on the market, and will operate very consistently at 10 psi, which is where the Tickler might not be able to. Remember that you are putting 800psi into a tiny LPR and hoping that it can drop the pressure to 10 psi. The Ticklers were made with the intention of having an input of 300 or so cause they were made for Cockers. If you check the Palmers website, they say that input is rated up to 1500 psi, I believe. That definitely brings me comfort.

Also, The quality is far greater than any other LPR =I have seen. It is built identical to the Palmers Stabilizer. I unscrewed the top, and the spring came out, I swore it was the same as that Stab I used to have. It depends on what you are looking for, but if you are looking to spend about $25 or so, which is what most of these LPR's will run (Used probably), you might as well spring $10 more and go for the Rock.

Just my 2 cents

No it's not. The Micro Rock is 2.3 inches, and the Rock is 3.4 inches. Also, I made a mistake the Rock is rated up to 1000psi

Sorry guys, I need to readbetter. I saw the price folr the colored rock. That was what sprung the long rant up there. My bad.
