Palmer Stabilizer Issue Dec 28, 2005 10:00:58 GMT -5

Post by JDCat on Dec 28, 2005 10:00:58 GMT -5

I just purchased a Palmer's Male Stabilizer for my A5. The purchase was made directly from Palmer's Pursuite Shop and the guage came attached. After the simple install I noticed that the guage was on the RIGHT side (Cyclone side) of the marker. In every picture I've seen of an A5 with a guage or any other marker for that matter, the guage is on the LEFT. This makes more sense to me since I shoot righty and having the guage on the opposite side would mean that I have to turn the marker over to see the pressure reading.

Did I hose-up this simple install or do my problems lie elsewhere?

Take the stabilizer off
Place an oring over the threads of the stab and push it all the way down to the bottom
Screw in stabilizer

If the oring didn't get it lined up correctly, just remember this, you can have a reg backed out a couple of threads and it will still seel fine. I've never really had a reg that lined up like I wanted it to so I always drop an oring over the threads, screw it in all the way, and turn it out a little bit untill I get it positioned where I want.

Good luck with that and get us some pictures once you're done!
