Ordering orings

[Psycho91]

Ok so as some of you know I'm trying to rebuild one of those system x lpr and 3way and I had the thought it's about time to order an oring kit, is there a known kit that most of y'all use...I stumbled upon Captain oring are they any good, I was also thinking about using poly orings in my 3 ways and they have the sizes needed

The minimum order requirement may be excessive (50 or 100 in some cases), and shipping isn't free. I still prefer using them them because they literally have EVERY size, material, durometer, cross section, etc, individually. They do have assortments/kits as well, but I tend to just order the handful of sizes I need for a project.

I have this one from Time2PB. See if it has what you need.

Just ordered an ion rebuild from Capt O-ring, out of curiosity. I'll let you know if they're any good, lol.

Ordered from orings-online.net in the past. They have a decent amount of kits listed, but also sell in bulk (1, 50, 100, or 250). May be ordering from them again soon - need a Micro Max Flo kit, and they have it. Now I just need to hunt down a piston seat...

Captain Oring uses color-coded buna, which is nice for finding sizes but they don’t last as long as plain ol black rings - their dynamic seals crumble often after one season while black seals seem to last a long time.

I order kits from orings-online.net. They have marker- and regulator-specific rebuilds or you can go with their master rebuild kits that have tons of common sizes. Or buy in bulk for specific sizes. Quality so far has been great.

I'll dispute that. Hell if this were true then half my o ring kit should be in crumbly bits right now and none of my markers would be working. I typically only do one order a year. I've always had a mix of colored and black and have never noticed any difference in performance.

I'm sure you can find bad colored rings just like you can find bad black ones. Hell the worst rings I've ever had were black buna, the mold didn't even line up right they had a visible seam.

I've been ordering from theorimgstore.com for probably close to a decade now. Great place, quality rings and the guys who run it have a paintball background so you can ask them paintball/technical questions. They helped me track down an obscure ring that was some European spec id never seen before. Hell, still haven't seen it since.

For sizes, I recommend getting something like a flambeau case and organizing. Get the case first so you know how many slots you have

003-019. Go to 022 if you plan on working on shockers

107-116 I have 117-119 but I can't remember the last time I needed them

More recently I also started stocking metric. Not really needed if you are just starting to put your kit together but I have both 1mm and 2mm cross section 2-22 is what I settled on. 2x16 is the sail o ring for anything with an ion bolt so those are handy to have if nothing else.

Oh and tank o rings. But I actually order those from Captain o ring, they are much cheaper and I can get a big pack of tippmann detents at the same time
