Can i get a reg to fit between my front grip and trigger. Where the steel hose goes into the power tube? I heard some people say that you can fit a Inline Palmer in there but others have told me I can't.

Simple answer: no
Technically: yes

Why:
We have determined that, yes, you can infact run the Palmer straight into the valve. However we have also determined that this setup:
Is a major PITA to install
Stands a good chance of stripping the threads into the valve.
Will most likely break as soon as the gun is met with a major shock(i.e. you slide, dive, etc.)
Requires at least some modification, in the form of metal removal, to the body of the marker


Do you see where we're going with this?

Bottom line: Yes you can do it; however, it's not a good idea.

yes it would be possible

but you will need to shave away your recievers or get like a spyder v/a to screw into valve then screw the reg into i...

This is what I did.

Cocker reg-Lapco dual adaptor (not needed, but I used it for it to function as an LP chamber) then an ASA-1/8" NPT reducer.

hey that looks pretty sweet. i bet you had to shave away part of you receivers to make it fit though. I dunno, I think im just gonna get a reg that goes into my front grip and a VA. Since, I don't have enough for a male palmer i think i might get a bob long torpedo. I hear they're pretty good with C02, what do you think?

I did shave away quite a bit as you can see in the picture. The Torp's work ok with C02 since they're based off the Stabilizer. However the o-rings will wear out in the Torp faster than in the Stab. If your short on cash I would get a stock Autococker reg for C02.

Sorry about the last post in here, accidently deleted it.

As for where the female stabilizer goes, it replaces the ASA. That's pretty much it.

can u put a female stabalizer and a male x-chamber on a 98c? i mean, will it be better for the gun and everything or will make things worse/not have any effect.

You *could* but its not at all worth it. The Xchamber I've heard if placed after a reg will de-regulate the air thus negating the point of having the reg to begin with. I'd say if you want really good consistany, go with a palmer stab and anti siphon or just get nitro. One or the other.
