palmers on tank

[duc916]

I am looking at getting a palmers stabilizer for my A-5 to help with shot consistency. I went to there website and saw that they have a remote set up that hooks directly to the coiled line and tank on/off valve. Any problems anyone can see with having the reg that close to the CO2? There is a good chance that it will see liquid CO2 when I am laying down playing woodsball.

No problem at all. I have my remote to my A5 set up the exact same way. Only difference in mine is that instead of spending the extra money on the "remote" palmers, I just put a femaler one on my tank instead. It was a little cheaper that way and same result. I've had my palmers mounted there for over a year with no problems. Also, unlike some regs out there, Liquid CO2 will NOT harm the Palmers.

NWilson,
What pressure do you run your gun on? What do you have for accessories (R/T, QEV, etc.)? Thanks for the help.

Actually, the pressure is not important. Once you install your palmers you will set it's pressure using a chronograph. In other words, you will simply adjust the pressure on the regulator using the allen screw on the end untill the gun is in the desired velocity range (usually 285). Once you do this you will need to shoot about a case of paint through the gun so the the Stabilizer can be "broken in." After that you will check the gun on a chrono again and make and adjustments as necessary, although usually very small. I rarely if ever have to make any velocity adjustments to my gun and I play in all weather. Anyway, tyhe moral of the story is that I have no idea what pressure my guin is running at, because really, it doesn't matter. If I had to guess I'd say the pressure is around 700-800 PSI, but oncfe again, this is a tippmann, not an autococker so we need not be so concerned with pressure while running CO2.
As far as upgrades I have an e-grip wityh a JCS trigger instead of the RT. I have tried both and prefer the E-grip. This is a matter of preference and if possible you shoud try them both. Also, I play alot of scenario games where the RT is not allowed but the e-grip is (not logical I know, but true) so for that reason alone the e-grip is a better choice for my needs. I don't have a QEV, but I don't shoot fast enough to need one. If you were to have an e-grip and upgrade it with say a WAS board, then you would certainly need a QEV. My gun has never seen 20bps so a QEV would serve me no purpose. Otherwise I have a 14" Smart Parts All American, polished internals, JCS folding stock, Scepter grenade launcher, offset hopper, and BSA red dot. Feeding the system I have an APP remote (these guys hands down make the best remotes) attached to a female palmers stab, which goes to a 20oz co2. I carry it all with a Flurry Emissary vest. Woodsball is all I play so this setup serves me very well.
