I just got my Rebel and i was shooting and i noticed some snow coming from the barrel. I think this means the liquid CO2 is coming out. I need an expansion chamber!! I want one that will do the job, i dont want to spend to much either. Please give me sum sugestions as of places and names(of the chambers), also prices wouldnt hurt! THANKS!!!! HELP!!!

Are you using a remote?? If you're not using a remote then skip the expansion chamber and get your co2 tank antisyphoned. It will cost less than an x-chamber (I think) and will work better.

If i dont get an expansion chamber and just let it go as it is will it ruin my gun? Also i might get a chamber but i need a 90* elbow and a hose but i dont no the lenght. The chamber is Psycho Ballistics X-Core 8 stage X-Chamber, Black any info on it please reply THANKS!!

Well first thing yes that is liquid coming from your gun, and yes that will screw it up, it destroys o rings.......there are many things that can do that. First the temperature, or you will need a remote or expansion chamber or/and get it anti-siphoned. I have my Xtreme with a stabilizer and anti-siphoned. You could go for a 6 stage ACI sub zero for around 35, they are pretty good. What anti-siphon does is you have a tube in your tank that takes the gas instead of liquid out of your tank, very helpful! and pretty cheap to do. I would definitely try to get that done.and yeah the 8 stage psychos are pretty good.

Get macroline. It is plastic tubing that is flexible that you can cut to any length that you need. You can usually get 3 12inch lengths for about 10 bucks. As far as ruining your gun, It can ruin the o rings and seals, like your cup seal for your valve. Honestly though, my marker tends to get a bit of liquid co2 in it if its cold out, but I don't care about the orings, they're cheap enough to replace. But I'm still getting an antispyhoned tank because the snow obscures my vision.

x-chambers aren't perfect. I have an aci 6stage x-chamber and still get snow sometimes. Get your tanks antisyphoned.

That's because the ACI is not a good x-chamber, most of ACI products are not, I personally prefer (and I think it's the best x-c) the Psycho Ballistics X-core, it's 8 chambers and cost almost half the price of all the others. Lapco's X-chamber it's pretty good too, even though it's just 2 chambers. I use remote with the X-chamber instead of an antisiphon but that's my choice.

Well that's because as far a I know, even though they say it has. it really is not an x-chamber just a gas through grip, take it off and see it by yourself, even if it comes with one is not good, I personally prefer the x-core above all the rest, and I've tried lots of them. The Palmer Stab is perfect but that's a regulator (that works awesome with c02) not an X-chamber and it costs $75+, for a rebel better get a preset nitro tank than getting a Stab with Antisiphoned tank, it's costs just a little more and it works a lot better.
BTW: an example of osmething they sell you with another name is the "regulator" that the Rebel X has, disamble it (you gotta do it sometimes) it's just a bypass system to avoid getting the air back when you take the tank off. That's not what a regulator does.

Ya it was like high 20s low 30s. could this have been it? Should I wait till it warms up and see if it still does it or just buy it now? i live in Chicago, and play in wisconsin but mostly in the summer.

Its definitely that! Trust me, I'm playing in 40's with a gas through grip and its doing that! But I have a stabilizer now so, it solves the problem.
