It's no secret im a big Belsales fan - and in the gaps bewteen play days I love tinkering with the gear. One of my quests is to find the elusive predator autococker --





In this quest - ive made it this far:



and at this moment I found female stab with full wraparound bottom line mount to replace the vertical stab like the one shown here:




anyone here messed with this variety of stabilizers? for PUMP ball and CO2

update: new pics show female stab, homebrew autotrigger job, and 14" AA

Im thinking about maybe a 13ci 3000hpa tank..







The autotrigger is a homemade job made from a Viewloader elbow screw, an old cocker timing rod and an o-ring from my kid's erector set... Priceless...

Thumper,

Now that one (Evolution) has some really clean lines.... Love it bro.

Please let me know how and where I can get one. I'm really interested in buying one just like yours with the modifications.

Thanks,

I posted on an overseas site about wanting a predator, no response yet, if there is one I will put you in contact with the seller, my mark up is a pod of paint and i get to shoot it from the new aquisition. I will post up in other English forums and let you know if there are any responses,have a sister there and we both make the trip across the pond once in a while, so shipping might be free. you are a silent bidder by the way. Ha Thumper silent, lol

Dude.... I'll give you a case of paint if you can help me locate an Evolution like Thumpers!

Thanks so much for your help on this.... I'm searching the net as we speak.

the evo-X vert feeds have been pretty common lately.. the right feed evo-x is a bit tough to find. (and I know a few people are also in the hunt for these)
I think they were only made in 1999.

tip : You may want to ping chappy.

Groovy... Thanks Thumper!

Thumper,

You will have great CO2 efficiency with the female stab. Anti-siphoning the tank will make it better.

While I love stabilizers, if I am going to use HPA, I much prefer an AKA sidewinder.

Beating the crap out of cancer.

Female stabs are excellent just as their male counter parts, have 2 of them (though, not with that full wrap around mount, the more simple kind).

I too prefer a Sidewinder/2 Liter if I know I will use ONLY HPA, but having a stabilizer gives you the option of CO2 when you need that option, and will only vary ever so slightly more on HPA and will only really show when going semi-auto (you won't need that lightning recharge rate on a Sniper)


And Thump, that Evo is looking HOT. I'll be getting back out on the field soon, look forward to seeing you guys again

hey Josh - Good to hear from you!! -- Ive got a 13/3000 on the way for the predator evo.. playing it at PBC's march game when flying one of Ben's recon planes. Grendel just got a Pyre -- so you have growing company in PPS land. Dont be such a stanger ya hear.
