Just wondering if anyone has the sizing for all the 98 Custom O-Rings..



Searched but didn't see anything..

Also, are they a certain type like Nitrile/Viton/EPDM, I've found all of these through one of my hardware/air fittings suppliers and wanted to order in bulk for myself and a few friends.

Thanks guys,

Take the "O" ring to the automotive or air fitting supplier. They will check the size on a gauge or compare it to their existing supply and will be able to tell you what size it is.

With a little bit of on-line research you can determine which material you would like to use that fits the function of a paintball marker. But, for the most part, if you go to a air fitting supplier he will give you what he has on the shelf...which is more than up to the job...will withstand the wear and tear and the lubricants used with air operated tools (and cost only pennies relative to all the "O-ring kits" available)...which is what a paintball marker is!

Good idea, I might take mine to the local hardware store to match up to the sizes.. write them down, then order them online through my supplier lol. You're right though.. Pennies!

Well, the politic thing to do would be to have them size it, then buy 5 or 6 from them, then order what you want on line.
