Palmer front pneumatic

[PicassoOG]

What's the thoughts on palmers brass front pneumatics?? Are they any good. Any issues that anyone knows of??

I quite like the PPS pneumatics.
They are very snappy feeling in operation and fast.

They are harder to rebuild than comparable pieces, and are expensive.

LPR is the original, and still, one of the best - the later versions are easy to rebuild.

The ram uses dual U-Cup seals - excellent suction with very little drag, good longevity. Down sides are: it's comparatively heavy, the base width interferes with some banjo bolts, some are not rebuildable, and some have the top barb or qev pressed on.

quick switch - run away. this thing is a PIA

I use them and like them, if you are running CO2 nothing will beat an old long Palmers Rock LPR

I've always had great luck with their LPR's, didn't overly care for the quick switch I used.

So the only reason I'm using them is because I want the brass look. So I have a shock tech cocker and wanted to see if it's comparable But really it's for the looks

If you just want the brass look, just go with some early 2000s stock WGP. Way cheaper, and great performance.

The big Rock is pretty solid LPR. I've got a micro rock that seems to eat seals though.

After my time looking up parts and asking questions about my cocker build it seem as if pneumatics are just pneumatics, the fancy stuff is just more money and if I did it again I would just go with wgp stuff, like most say it's cheap and works

It really just depends what your looking for in pneumatics.
If you want to drive a 95 honda civic go for it. If you want to drive something modern i would highly recommend looking at the newer stuff. It will be easier to rebuild/tune/assemble and still has active customer service.

Both my autocockers use full Palmer pneumatics. They work as they should and I've never had any problems. However... the quick switch can be a pain to get the timing just right and not leak. You can set them so it's not that close but that's the way I like mine.
