Review:
The Palmers Stabilizer will drastically improve the consistency of your marker. I personally went from +/- about 20 fps on CO2 to just under +/- 5 fps. When I got my HPA tank, my consistent went up to +/- 3 fps. This, by proxy, improves accuracy.
It allows the user to change the operating pressure in seconds. Personally, I use this first to set the ballpark velocity, then fine tune from there. I usually end up running at about 650 psi with the E-grip and about 700-750 with the Response. The lower pressure means that you're using less air per shot. On a 20oz, I went from about 900 rounds/tank to about 1100 rounds/tank.
The A-5 kit really does fit quite well. As long as you have teflon tape, you won't have any install issues.
Conclusion:
It comes as no surprise that I highly recommend that Palmers Stab. I'd also like to advise you to order it with the pressure gauge attached. It's not required, but it is nice to know approximately how much pressure is going into your marker. These things are very near being legendary for how well they produce results.
