My markers have sat for about five years, but all of the o-rings were fine when put down. I would like to take them out this February. Should I replace all of the o-rings out of caution? I have 2 phantoms, 2 2nd gen Grey Ghosts, and one ICD Alley Cat. Could you tell me who is selling sets of o-rings for markers?

Honestly a lot of the pumps may be fine. Could you gas them up to test? Maybe cycle some oil?
There are a few of o ring shops online that sell paintball master kits, just stay away from the colorful ones as they shit the bed faster.💀 PK x Ragnastock 💀 -
This site sells lots of Kits for various markers - https://www.orings-online.net/index....MQdA3lPoa7Fhnl

OR find the sizes / durometer you prefer and head over to McMaster - https://www.mcmaster.com/products/o-rings/

I'm still going to disagree with this as I've used colored rings right next to black ones for a decade and not seen any difference. Who manufactures the rings matters, not what color they are.
Theoringstore.com is a great place to get rings. Any size, durometer, material and if you want colored they have those as well.

5 years will probably be ok depending on how old they were when put away, and what kind of oil/greese. I have heard of abused 20year old tippmanns being fine, and 20 year old cockers that were NIB that needed every oring and reg seat replaced.Comment

As someone who frequently "retires," i have to inspect my stuff on a somewhat regular basis. I'd try a visual inspection of o-rings, maybe clean & re-lube, then air up and see what happens (i usually refill tanks at the field a few weeks before going back to play, so i can home tech... i really need my own compressor).
I also use orings-online.net most of the time, but not a stranger to getting kits from other places; if they don't have the kit listed, i'll get a 1- or 2-time build from someone that does, then confirm the sizes so i can piece together my own kits later.Comment

BUNA orings last near forever if stored well with no funky lube or exceptional stresses.
URETHANE orings, 5yrs for service schedule or 5-10yrs if you believe in shooting it until the wheels come off.
Agree that the 'colored orings are bad' topic is overplayed.Comment
