Re: Suggestions for Upgrades????

The Unrealist basically said it all . . .

What you do to your gun will ultimately be what fits your playing style best. Everyone wants consistency, so that personally would be my first port of call. JCS Powertube, Palmers Stabilizer and POLISHED INTERNALS is also a must. This I can't stress to you enough. If you haven't done it, do it . . . do it now. [j/k]

Does a Stabilizer do any good when he's already using HPA?

Re: Suggestions for Upgrades????

HPA is more consistent than co2, but there will still be fluctuations in pressure. The stabilizer will reduce the range of these fluctuations and make the marker more consistent. Granted you won't see the differences you would if you were running co2, but I still believe it to be a very worthy investment even if you are already running HPA.

Re: Suggestions for Upgrades????

Is an air regulator & a stabilizer the same thing?

I've been looking at one of these AG1 regulators for a while now but want to make sure I'm buying the right thing.



I dunno why everyone is hating on the stock A5 barrel so much... I'm currently using one & it's not that terrible. True I'm looking for a better one but who isn't? As for the moment until I can get a barrel extender b/c the 8" bigshot I bought is really 7.5" (whoda thunk it) it's serving my purpose.

"Stabilizer" is the brand name of the PPS regulator. To be perfectly frank, I would not recommend any aftermarket regulator other than the PPS Stabilizer line, the AKA Sidewinder, or the AKA 2Liter.

If you plan on ever running CO2, however, the PPS Stabilizer is the only viable option - of those three it is the only one which is CO2 friendly.

is the pps stabalizer inline capable? I got a good milsim look going with a trinity AK style mag/expansion chamber but want a good stabalizer. That's why I was asking about the in-line that could go between the co2 tank & remote.
