I know its not a tippmann, but i've also seen other posts for non-tippmann guns (i think). Anywho, does anyone know the exact size of the o-ring that is right where the cartrige inserts on a Delta .68 pistol? I need more, but i don't want to order the whole o-ring kit just for a bunch of those. Any help is appreciated. |

well, my metric calipers are MIA so here's what I got for a measurement
0.065" thick, 0.40" outer diameter, 0.270" inner diameter, sorry I don't know what material they are made of, I hear ya there about buying the complete parts kit, the last one I bought didn't have a single co2 cartridge o-ring, one tip to make hem last longer make sure you manually re-cock the marker and fire off all co2 removing the cartridge with a little left in it will destroy it |

I have a Delta 68 that has never sealed properly at that location. I am actually considering a trip to Ace to try various rubber o-rings and see what happens.

Yeah, i learnt that you should discharge all the air b/f removing cartridge while i was reading reviews before i bought it. But it seems that the o-ring gets sliced almost every time, no matter what i do. I might follow you to the hardware store to try my luck with other o-rings. I really like using the pistols, they seem great, minus this one problem with that o-ring. |

i've had good luck with mine, the only other things i've read to prevent it is
oil the o-ring constantly and watch out for CO2 cartridges with the shoulder on the tip, but that's what i use with no problems so I don't know what else it could be |

| Oiling like mad seems to help this, but ther is no way i'll be able to change the cartrige if i'm in a fire-fight. The thing seems to get stuck alot when you empty the air quickly. |

I couldn't find a matching o-ring at the hardware store. So I dug into my parts box and came up with a dummy 12 gram. Since I still had sealing problems I pulled the valve apart and put it back together without the part that pierces the 12 grams. I used a small metal washer and o-ring that fit directly against the filter portion of the valve. Once I figured out that it would now seal, I added a few other pieces and now use an old BE 12 gram changer which doubles as a front vertical grip to hold my CO2. It can't be holstered, so it's not really a pistol anymore but it does hold air now. I guess it's kind of a small CQB marker more than anything else. (I should figure a way to hang a flashlight and laser off of it.) -------------

I don't know how the Delta works "I've never had one." I did have a PT Enforcer and it sounds like the same problem I was having with it. what I did with it is, and don't laugh at this, It worked in a pinch. I smeered chapstick on the tip of the co2 cart. It worked for almost a year. I know it sounds goofy..but when ur cheap and don't have want to keep replacing things you look at what is in your pockets. ------------- It sucks being antisocial alone. |
