LP setup question...

[nitemare]

What If I will buy an Lp kit and install everything except the Vertical adapter,and the LP chamber,and I line the gas directly into the powertube,from a Palmer female stabilizer,dropped to the place of the ASA?Will it work well too even without the Lp chamber?:crazy:

It could work, but you would more then likely have shoot down, running with out the lp chamber.
There are several people that have tapped the bottom of the lp chamber and ran the air line directly into the lp chamber, but you would also have to block off the vertial adaptor line in order to do this

A LP chamber is neccesary to run LP. Shootdown WILL happen. Shootdown will be so bad the gun won't even recock.

Now for setting it up. You can tap the bottom of the LP chamber and thread your air line into that, then run a male-male 1/8" npt fitting from the top of the LP chamber strait into the valve. He won't need to block off the vertical adapter, because he wont need a vertical adapter.

Are you runing C02 or Nitro/compressed air? And how low do you have your regulator set too?

[Natural Newbie]

Run both anywhere from 325-400 psi, depending on what field I am at and paint I am using. Plus when you shoot 10bps without the LP chamber it burps, and once it burps it won't stop unless you catch the bolt and recock it.

I thought the Lp chamber is only needed because there wouldn`t be enough amount of regulated gas to re-cock the gun,but If I run the air directly from a closer regulator then it should be enough :crazy: .I`m kinda confused about why tippmann forced the customers of the LP kit to run they things thru a VA,and a male reg.I`ve got the whole idea because I`m afraid of using a regulator as a front grip on my gun,since I dunno yet how durable they are,or how badly can they affect my overall gun comfort,so I thought maybe I can put the reg somewhere else not to the place of the front grip,or the vertical adapter.Maybe You could help me out with some ideas...:confuse: :crazy: :P

The gun WILL starve of air if you dont have an LP chamber. I have tried everything, and an LP chamber is the only way to go.

Well... You have a setup with a female reg, on the asa right?

So you could do what i did, but use a single stage expansion as a low pressure chamber in it's place, and then still regulate your marker :) or at least i think somthing like that would work

[Turambar]

You could just buy a gas thru fore grip and still have the female reg.

[Natural Newbie]

Yes but he doesn't want, or need the VA.

[Turambar]

Hmm, well, I don't think it is that. He doesn't think the reg will be sturdy while holding it. Although I think all of us can assure him it will be. Of course he can always do what you suggested :)
