Pneumag question

[wjr]

Im looking into building my own pneumag, and I have a question. Ive noticed that most people who do the mod use a palmers lpr. Is there any special reason for using it? Could I not use a much cheaper lpr and get the same desired result?

one good thing about it is the fact that it can handle full pressure input, instead of splitting the output off of a primary regulator to lower the pressure a bit.

i'm sure other lpr's can take high pressure inputs, but palmers also has a good reputation. especially for co2.

also note the fact that it is small and sleek, available in colors, and you might be able to fix it in the frame.

there is a very good reason. of all the regs I originally tried, the palmers rock, micro rock, and the WGP stock autococker regs are the ONLY regs that delivered any consistency when given 800psi input. others either could not handle the input pressure, or were too inconsistent to use.

coolhand was using some small pricey reg on his version, but I don't remember which one it was.

I think it was the Smart Parts lpr.

Thanks for the information guys.
