Regulator or expansion chamber?

[Cheesehead]

I posted a thread in the air systems forum asking for the best chioce for an expansion chamber. I got a response saying that if my 98 Custom could run at 650 psi stock than i should get a regulator. Is this possible? If so which would be the best regulator for $50-70? If not which expansion chamber would be best for $30-50? I'd much rather buy an expansion chamber instead b/c they cost less. But if a regulator would be worth the money i'd like to know. I'm new to the sport and know almost NOTHING about air systems so i could use all the help i could get. Thanks.

Get your tank anti siphoned (search if you dont know what that is) and get the regulator. I'd recommend a Palmers Stabilizer for around $90. Yes they are definately worth it.

A/S + Reg > Exp. Chamber

hrm... with your price range, you could get a bob long torpedo... or a used male stabilizer.

dont forget, you need a vertical adapter also.

Ive decided that i'll spend the money on the Palmer Stabilizer. Ive heard about 10 people say its the best. If there's anything else i need to know please say so. Thanks.

A/S co2 + used VA + Used male stab = best deal
A/S co2 will work well
Don't buy everything new, for the price of a new stab and new Va you could get a cheap nitro tank.

i would get the expansion chamber. i have only herd good things about it. and that is what i am getting for my a-5

Expansion chambers have become pretty much obsolete as of lately because the anti siphon does the job much better and is way cheaper.

Amen.

I know that the xchamber is becoming obselete but i like the way they look on tippmanns:)

[cocker_choas]

This is what I would do buy a vertical adapter from dop then buy a palmer stabilizer w/ a 45/45 fibber wrapped tank.

[snap shoot]

Or you can save 200 + bucks and get it Anti Siphoned :dunce2:

Ya and ruin a 80 dolla reg. :| But hey it's ur money. Co2 will slowly desolve a reg. even if it's anti siphoned. But if ur sugestin jst a anti. siphon u won't get the same results as hpa. If u get anti siphon and x-chamber u can get close but still not the same.

Ummm.....no. CO2 will not "dissolve" any reg, even if it isn't anti-siphoned. What it will do is destroy your o-rings and seals, however, anti-siphon takes care of that problem.

Palmer's stabs work perfectly with CO2.

Yea ok. Ive already decided to get the Palmer Stab brand new. Money is no big deal. Im rich. :D Thanks for the advice though.
Oh yea i almost forgot...UP YOURS TIPPYDADDY1119 PACKERS RULE!!! PAY HOMAGE TO THE CHEESE!!:finger:

Get rid of that firestorm while your upgrading your gun. Get a double trigger.

[xxHOBBESxx]

I hate you.

[snap shoot]

Money isnt a promblem , great!. Try these upgrades once you go along. Smart Parts Freak kit , Halo b , E bolt , and a double trigger :) .

[M98PainTBaLLeR]

You could of checked the ULTIMATE STICKY, or DONE A SEARCH

[SilentButDeadly]

Wait a minute.....if you're rich.....then why do you have a tippy? :confused: Not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with Tippys, but you have to admit that there are nicer guns out there.

[M98PainTBaLLeR]

You dont just come in here and criticize tippmanns. Go home your not wanted!

[SilentButDeadly]

I thought I was making it very clear that I was NOT saying anything bad about Tippmanns, I know better than that.

But you can't honestly think that they are the greatest guns in the world(or maybe you do). I don't care, it's not worth getting into an argument over. Sorry for having an opinion :rolleyes: .

[E r y k]

face it, hes not.

why would he be running co2, why would he be using a firestorm crank...

[M98PainTBaLLeR]

yeah i agree, opinions stink.

You got a point there. Yay for the Palmer Stab.
