if i hooked up a palmer stabilizer + an expansion chamber, would the gun be starved for air? rumor has it that the stabilizer is one of the best ways to fight liquid co2, so i'm thinking about getting one and using it with my x-chamber. your thoughts?

is nobody feeling very helpful today or something? -
I think we need a sticky up top... "Mags on CO2"
I must have said this 1000 times... THE PALMER STABILIZER WILL NOT STARVE THE GUN! I've used my stabilized mag about so many times I can't count and with no ill-effects. Adding an expansion chamber might help a little bit, but only if you plan on shooting 400 shot strings. I mean I have frozen my gun once since I got it... that was when I was "showing off" firing my auto-response frame for over 150 shots as fast as it can go (I've timed myself at 13 bps before). And if your doing that, no matter WHAT you have, it won't protect the gun from co2.Hey Zero, how much did that Chipley cost ya?
Originally said by Boggerman When I got married I thought it would go down too... The insurance, not the wife.

i know the stabilizer alone didn't starve the gun, but nowhere did i see anyone mention an x-chamber AND the stabilizer. that's why i asked.Comment

There would be no starvation from this combo. It is important, however, to have the expansion chamber first in the co2 path followed by the regulator. In this order the xchamber does it's job then the reg is better able regulate (and control liquid). Remember that co2 is reactive to heat and if the regulator were first in the air path the xchamber would be storing co2 that could continue to expand and raise the pressure (if you stop shooting for a time).
Pipe it right and you won't have any flow problems.Comment
