Hey y’all, feel like a bit of a moron here but I’m more into mags/cockers. I bought this Rail on eBay to let friends borrow when I play. I’d like to order an oring kit but I’m not sure what year this is. Not sure if anyone can tell from the picture please?

Kyle is correct. It's a 2011-2014 series Rail. Shares a solenoid with the Rize CZR and o-ring kits should be the same.
A few tips about these:- Make sure the eye pipe is correctly aligned and fully seated, because if it's not all the way in it can get cracked when you tighten the barrel. To avoid overtightening the barrel, put an o-ring around it just above the threads. Something like a 016 or 017 should work.
- The boards are notorious for vampiric battery drain, so it's best to remove the battery at the end of the day. If you don't, at least be prepared to find a dead battery the next time you use it.
- The HPR has a tendency not to purge and can hold 1-2 shots worth of air for long periods. Be mindful of this when testing the battery/board; you may unexpectedly dry fire it without a tank. Best practice is to screw in the barrel before powering up the board, just in case. I learned this the hard way by launching a eye pipe across my garage. Marker had been sitting in my gear bag for two weeks without a tank, but the HPR still held air.
The Automag: Not as clumsy or random as an electro. An elegant marker for a more civilised age.

Great information, I’ll definitely keep all of that in mind once it arrives. I have a couple lower end electros that I let my buddies borrow when they come out with me. I don’t know anything about them, just pray they turn on and don’t leak when I air them up lol. Thank you for taking the time to write all that out!
