Anyone know what the dimensions are for a paintball tank o-ring? What exactly is it made of? Im trying to find a way to get them as cheap as possible (.50- $1.00 a piece is ridiculous). If anyone else has a cheap way to get ahold of some, plz share.

YOu can get 100 for around $4 on E-bay. You just have to make sure they are the ones made out of quality material. There are also the crappy one for the same price. Un fortunatly I forget which ones are the good ones. You buy one bag of 100 and you never really have to worry about it again. ;)

edit: For example, I don't care for those black ones in the above link. I try to get the same type of o-ring that came with the tank when new.

what about these monsters? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=16051&item=7159711785&rd=1

"These are the top quality 'creme colored' o-rings that fit on all CO2 tanks and hold up ten times longer than cheap 'white' or 'black' o-rings!" Im not sure if I really trust that description, but Im pretyy sure I need to go with urethane or nitrile o-rings right? (urethane being optimal?)

Yeah the ones off ebay are good stuff. I think I paid like 50 cents for the cheap black ones a year or two ago and I still have plenty. I didnt know they sold the good ones or I would have gotten them. It doesnt really matter though, when you have 100. :)

Get a NW Paintball Products Life Saver Seal and you won't even need o-rings. :wow:
