RT Pro- Best Regulator?

[AutomagRTPro]

Hey, i need to buy a regulator, and was wondering which one would u guys recommend. I have an automag RT Pro, and need sumthing that is not bottom-line mounted. So if you know a good regulator that can mount on the Rt easily, i'd appreciate it. Also, i have been having some problems with my trigger being too sensitive and my RT have a ROF too high. I am hoping that once i regulate the output pressure lower, that will solve my problems, b/c right now the rate of fire is much too fast for my 12v revolution to feed. Anyway, any help on either question will be aprecciated.

Just get an adjustable tank. You could starve the gun by running another reg on it. I recommend a flatline.

you can't starve it by running a reg on it. i saw a guy w/ a hyperframe on a retro mag and he got no starving or shootdown at all at amazingly fast speeds. i shoot a reg on my mag to keep it consistent over the chrono.

I would suggest a Palmer stablizer. Good design, very configurable, and good service from the manuf.

I don't have one on my gun, yet. I shot a blazer one day with a Stablizer on it and it worked like a dream with air. Very nice reg for that. I don't see why it wouldn't work on a mag well.

They make a Special 'sideline' mag version that goes right onto the side of an AIR. But, since your running an RT, I would suggest a female stablizer on the bottom of your gun (replace your bottomline with it).

Palmer stuff is great all all around. I don't think you'll go wrong here. The stablizer is adjustable from 0-800 psi I belive. It will be my next upgrade. The Stablizer is famous for working magic on C02, and it was designed for c02, but it works just well on air, I belive. Very nice product.

I don't know much about the Air America ones (Messiah, Vigalante, etc), I assume they are good too.


Hope this helps.

All you need is the reg built on your tank. Additional regs do not do anything for you. Palmer Stabs can be used with HPA, but it's really meant for CO2... and is basically unnecessary for what you are doing.

[freakyt]

Miscue is right, for the most part. One of the best things about HPA is the fact that it doesn't demand a reg like C02 does. (your almost insane to play for any length of time with out a reg with c02).

If you have a fixed output tank, like a crossfire or a bulldog, a reg allows you to control the output as it was varibale. You can step it down. Can't go up, only down. If you think your having shootdown problems, a reg will cure that.

I would put my money towards something else first, though. Like more paint to practice with.

if you havn't noticed yet ... the RT has one of the most advanced regulators.

[freakyt]

Then, why do some of these guys spend $400 for a maxflow asa when they can spend $120 for the same size Crossfire/Bulldog with varible output?

Hey, since i have an RT Pro, which uses the traditional side input style, would the Palmer Stabilizer Side line work with that, or would i need the female version? I have been lookin at the stabilizer for a while now, but i find any stores that sell it and the side line version. Anyone know where i can purchase it?

if you are running HPA an inline reg would not be necisicary. Actually, it is not recomended, because you will starve the valve of air...

[freakyt]

Dude, really, if you SURE you need it, then you can get it right from palmer direct. http://www.palmer-pursuit.com/

It is probably a waste of your money though. If it makes a diff, let me know. I have a fix-ed output tank, and a reg might be nice to use for varing the output of it.

Hearing that a reg will starve a valve for air is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. The only way you could do that is to have it adjusted wrong. That is plain old mis-information.

[Puckz]

A reg can starve the valve if the input pressure from a reg is close to the output of the reg it feeds.

[AutomagRTPro]

I'm sure i need a reg. I have a nitro-duck 114 ci tank (its huge i know) with an output that in non-adjustable from 800-850. Since this output is not fixed, my accuracy is being affected, but also, i think the tank my by damages because the reactivness is too high (ROF) and this is probably causud by an input pressure is too high. Therefor, if i regulate my pressure down to about 750 (reccommended by many people), I will have better accuracy and lets ball breaks from shoting to fast because of the reactivness. There is no why i can starve my gun from regulating my pressure from 800-850 to a lesser value like 750 psi. I am opting to get a stabilizer because it will be cheaper than purchasing a new tank.

Look over on ebay. I just got a pure engery regulator for $32+ship. It has a CA Adapter, and will fit into my MMag's vertical adapter, then back to the bottom line. Not sure how you get a verticle adapter on an RT Pro though...
