Ways to remove a o-ring?

[magmanl337]

Hey guys, tell me what's your method of safely removing an o-ring? (Without damaging it) I use a small flathead screw driver.

A dental pick if I had one. If you have a mag, they're essential. I've used tooth picks, pens, pocket knife, file, and some other stuff.

I've noticed that most paintball players find the need for a tool when the job is no where near the land of complication. All you need to do is wipe off the grease/oil and pinch the sucker. Comes off with an ease in near ALL cases.

N.A.T.O.

Except when its an interior o-ring and not on the outside of a part (can't think of a place like that on mag off the top of my head, but I know other guns have them, like matrixes).

Personally I haven't found a great way yet. Dental picks work, but can scratch the part that your removing the o-ring from, which can be a pain. Right now Im using some little plastic sword toothpick things, they work alright, but aren't quite as stiff as they need to be.

Im thinkin maybe tweezers guys? like the tiny oens u use to remove splinters... they are pretty flat, and not sharp on the edge, so it shouldn't damage the oring, or the tank

i dunno bout you guys...but i use the CERTIFIED AGD tech tool....

the field strip screw

I use thumb tacks sometimes cause you can just stab it and just manipulate it till it comes off. Pretty simple really, but a dental pick works well too.

yep, that's the only way I could get the LX carrier out of the powertube.

for all other oring issues, dental pics work very nice
