I was wondering if a rock reg. would work well on my imp?
cause me friend is parting out his autococker and he is going to sell his rock for 10 bucks.

For 10 bucks i say go for it i mean if it doesnt work out its only 10 bucks! I have heard mixed things about the rock. But i would definatly go for it if its only 10 bucks.

the palmer rock lpr? that thing is worth well more than 10 bucks, go for it man. I paid 60 for mine new and it's worth it. It is a great LPR, and i sweetspotted it with ease. nothing wrong with it what so ever, one of the best out their in my mind. and frost, what mixed things have you heard about it?

I've only heard good things about the rock LPR. Just be careful when screwing around with it. Talking to one guy and he blew a noid by allowing to much air in, or something like that.

The Rock is one of the absolute best LPRs for the Cocker, if not the best.

However for the Impulse it's recharge rate is a touch slow and some users report rapid fire drop off.

On the flip side of the coin, a reg that I'm not a huge fan of on the Cocker is the ANS Jackhammer II, but it works wonders on the Impulse with the fastest recharge rate of all LPRs tested (test did not include the SP LPR , I hear there good but a little touchey).

It's all about operating pressures, spring tensions, chamber sizes, piston surface area, etc. And it all seems to work out that the ANS is better for the Imp and the the Rock is better for the cocker.


But for ten bucks, hell yes.... Rock Out! If it doesn't work welll for you, you can always sell it for 20 to somebody with a cocker.

Just one thing you might want to be mindful of, the rock is pretty sensitive to adjustment; use care when you're setting it.

I've heard the same. But some guy around my area said the oppisite about it, and that the Jackhammer had a slow recharge rate... I do not beleive that is right.

Ok, cool.

And to Aglar, i beleive that most LPRs are pretty sensitive. Atleat my Ans one is and others that i have seen. So one must be careful no matter the brand when adjusting the LPR.
