LPR Placement Advice

[Nick28]

Should I place in front to make it look like a lot other guns or should I just place it on my asa. I looked at a million pics and never seen anything that really made me jump to either side.

It's easier to put on the (non vertical) ASA. I personally think it looks weird though.

I think the under the barrel look is awesome, and out of the way. It will confuse the heck out of others at the field. AI also never liked the idea that if you put it on the bottem asa, it would be in place by an elbow. A good dive and the thing could unscrew and start leaking. Peraonal preference though. Good Luck

I had one with the reg on the bottom line asa and hated it. It felt awkward and in the way. I'm thinking about doing another and If I do its definately going up on the vert asa.

I like under the barrel too. Sometimes called "that cocker-mag". It use allen adjustments instead of knobs since I tend to bump the knob every now and then.

Frame ASA mounted LPRs are easier to install and you can swap the frame around or sell it easier. But I've never regretted using the front mount.

I like the look of 'sleeper' mounts but the sleeper effect only works on a small number of people when it comes to mags. I've found a better 'sleeper' is an R6 piranha that actually shoots well.

one other thing to concider is ; do I want to mod my rail for the LPR hose ??
If you put it in the front you will have to , on the grip frame ASA you wont , just slip it in the groove for the intellfeed wire , or you could use the Tippman LPR/ASA combo they end up looking very clean & neat

I have mine on the ASA with a slight drop and just run the hose up inside the frame and love it...its down out of the way and doesn't look stupid just hanging out under the barrel but thats my personal feelings. and its alot cheaper to run that way over milling the rail and drilling the vert and stuff.

I've got the flatline which I use until it's out (mostly outlaw ball) then throw a standard ASA on, so the ASA isn't a choice for me. Why not put a T on the valve? Why does that get looked down on?

For your setup though, I'd go the way you have it "mocked up". That's a good look.

EDIT:

One more thought: Does the hose length make any difference for a pneu-trigger rig, besides being exposed and vulnerable?

The supply hose doesn't seem to make much difference in length.

T's on the valve make some sense, but the common fittings are ugly and heavy. On the front ASA, you take away a little metal, along with the rail groove for the air line. Some of the custom car fittings are nice, but expensive.

A nice T with the air line going into the rail from the back would be kind of nice actually. I often get paint in the hose entry at the front of the rail.

could you stuff it in the foregrip?

[BiNumber3]

The pneu setup I did used a chromed T from palmers onto the valve, I personally liked it a lot, since my body was polished and my lpr was chrome, so everything looked nice together.
Doing it that way, you won't need to modify any asa's or rails

That's a neat idea. My plan was to route the hose through the grip, but I may just go with that.

Any problem with shaping a standard brass fitting so it's more aesthetic, provided you don't go lower than the thinnest existing dimension?

You can't put an LPR inside a foregrip, but you can use a palmer's stabilizer (or a few other regulators) as a foregrip and run the air for the pneumatics that way. That's what I did. (I learned it from pneumagger.) It's almost a sleeper. But the LPR isn't in the way because it acts as the foregrip, and there are no little hoses in the way either.
