Garibaldi Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hello everyone, I have a (stupid) question to ask I am building a HPA rig for my Escort MP5. I bought a HPA bottle that came with its own regulator. I also purchased a Palmers Pursuit low-pressure regulator. I am wondering if it is best to screw the Palmers regulator on the bottle's regulator, or if I need to take the bottle's regulator off, and fix the Palmer's regulator directly on the bottle ?

I am wondering if it is best to screw the Palmers regulator on the bottle's regulator, or if I need to take the bottle's regulator off, and fix the Palmer's regulator directly on the bottle ? The HPA bottles inbuilt regulator is to bring the bottle down to around 800 - 850 PSI same as a CO2 bottle would normally have, you leave that in place and screw the palmers low pressure stabilizer onto that http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...st&p=958984 should give you all the info and UK part numbers to put a basic rig together using that bottle and stabilizer in a quick release setup definately invest in a small dial guage you dont want to be feeding an escort mp5 blindly from an incorrectly set regulator especially if its new. You want to know exactly the pressure you're feeding it. Start around 90 psi and if that isnt enough to have it cylce reliably in semi up it 10 psi at a time till it does to a max of 130 psi (still going full auto in semi even at that pressure investigate a bit more). Overly hot pressure will ruin your day if the collar slips on the airshaft Link to post Share on other sites

none Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I really wanted an escort mp5...until I saw it outperformed by stock marui mp5ks in both accuracy and range... Link to post Share on other sites
snorkelman Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 i really wanted a stock marui mp5 untill I heard it whine like a sewing machine and offer zero challenge when it came to shooting due to complete lack of any recoil in auto horses for courses pays your money takes your choice Link to post Share on other sites
