palmer stabilzer make mags run well on co2?

[Fred]

You don't need both...

it's just a waste of CO2 volume. If you run a male stab in the vert position, and have an anti-siphon tank, you're amost guaranteed not to get liquid into the marker.

You could run a female stab to the ex chamber, which would just put regulated gas into a large volume...

You could put a sideline stab (kinda ugly...) on your valve, and run your ex chamber to that. That would probably be the best use of your ex chamber as a foregrip.

Any way you do it, you just have redundancy (which is good sometimes) and extra CO2 volume in the system (not always good, but not always bad).

female

would the female end do just as good as a job as the regualr one would?

Many say the Male version has a slightly better recharge time, it obviously is closer to the valve, and it does not require a mounting bracket or add anything to the overall weight of the marker when you replace the X chamber for it. And it holds a larger volume. And it completely eliminates the need for an X chamber both for expanding gas and as a foregrip. The Male version is slightly superior for the purpose for these reasons and advantages.

my best friend has one as a secondary reg on his mag. he has the mag valve all the way open and makes the big adjustments from the palmers stabilizer, he gets good consistency, like only at the most +-5 fps. yes he does have hpa and he has the male version of it and i have used it a couple of games and is very nice.

thanx

ah alright
thanks cp

would u guys reccomend getitn one for HPA, athe female end? or just get a good reg for teh tank (and no i cant afford an a.i.r reg)

[paintsprayer]

i went to that palmer site and there was some pretty cool stuff there. what i want to do is keep my expansion chamber because i play when it's cold, and i also want to keep my current ASA because i already have two anti-siphon tanks. is the side-line stabilizer my only choice left?

the site is:

It seems that the sideline Palmer would work the best for what you are wanting to do. It is also about $35 cheaper, that's almost a case of paint, I would say go for the sideline as long as you don't mind how it looks.

I LUVS MINE !!!

Read my Sig...

Palmer Fem + HPA + Boomy + Slamball = +/- 2 fps.

Nuff Said.

Still luving it!

nice

so no one has tried teh female palmer?

[krafty]

I'm getting a female Stabilizer w/ ring-mount on my Stroker that's due to arrive any day now. I've used the male version on my minimag when I was running co2 and it worked flawlessly.

About the ONLY disadvantge I can see to a female stab is that if you use it as a bottomline, there's no built-in way to shut off the gas flow (no on/off). Someone, I think shocktech, makes a very small inline on/off that you can use on the output side, though. I really don't know that there's any difference in recharge rate between versions of the Stabilizer. People can 'claim' a lot of things, but I don't see any hard data to prove this yet. (Science fair experiment, anyone?) :)

About a year or two ago the store I used to frequent got in a used cocker in a trade. It had a male and female stabilizer. This was probably the best shooting gun I have ever seen. It was shoot +/- 1-2 fps on CO2. Wee took it outside in March (kid of still cool around here and it shoot like 291 290 290 290 290 289 290 290 I really wanted the gun, but someone else had already put a deposit down on it. But it was super consistent.

The female stabilizer should work for you even if you already have an anti siphon tank. You can turn it any direction you need it in your mounting bracket.

Also you aren't paying that much of a difference between the male and female stab. The male is like $90 and the female is $60 + $20 mounting bracket. So ther real difference is like $10.
