I think o-rings should NOT be so hard to get and they should be cheaper too. 3.00 for a pack of friggen lower-bolt o-rings???? What the heck? Then you gotta order it off a website and pay shipping, not to mention missing one of the only times you get to enter in a competition. I think they should be readily available everywhere (k-mart walmart, **edited**s sporting goods ect) What do you think?

A spot for a product on a shelf cost X amount of dollars per month. If it profits < X per month, your going to have to mail order.

  Buying O-rings in bulk is a good idea.  You can never have enough O-rings, and you should change out your O-rings very regularly, even if they only have a small amount of wear.

We know.  I don't think you will get a strike.  And about the O-Rings, you can get them pretty much anywhere that sells tools.

We can get oring packs at fleet farm, our local proshop, wal-mart, as well as sporting goods stores too.

I personally bought my tank o-rings from e-bay.  100 for an ungodly low price and no shipping charges.  Plus they are a really strong poly urethane.

You can find the size of the o-ring and buy them at Home Depot, Menards, Fleet Farm, etc.  Paintball guns aren't the only things that need o-rings.  Pneamatics need them.

Take a gander all over.

A guy on ebay sells o-rings by the thousands there like 8 bucks for 1000 so that sounds pretty good to me.

If youve ever owned a spyder you have to have a special o-ring for the lower bolt, only nobody sells it

So don't own a Spyder. Or, if you do, suck it up and find your own parts without complaining. Everyone else seems to manage that.

I bet that o-ring is a standard manufactured size anyway.

You've gone through 100 orings? Jeebus...

I went through like 25 in 3 years. That is including ones I gave away.

And there is the key.  I seriously doubt that many, if any at all, paintball o-rings are custom made for paintball use.  With some looking you should be able to find any paintball o-ring in a regular o-ring supply shop, at good prices.
