I know it's not an automag but it is my backup marker, I have an older Cocker that has a Dye PMP 3-way on the front (black, but not like it matters). At any rate, the 3 o-rings on the 3-way are finally shot, and I've searched high and low and can't find them. I checked out Dye's website and store, nothing there, I sent them an email but no reply. I've checked the local pb-store and even the actionvillage store and they've got nothing. The guy at AV said I might have to just replace the 3-way, but there's nothing wrong with it aside from the fact that it's an older one that apparently they don't make o-rings for? Anyone know where I could get some?

edit: This (http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/968/) is the 3-way I've got except mine is black. I need the 3-orings on the ram part.

I'd say disassemble your 3-way and take it to a local hardware store. You'll probably be able to find some o-rings that work fine. Be cheaper than paying for shipping too.

well I checked the local Sears and Ace Hardware, all their stuff was too big, the big box stores (Lowes, Home Depot and Menards) didn't carry it either. I can't seem to find any specs on it either so I could possibly find another source.

I have my brother's cocker in a million pieces and it has the same problem. None of that Dye cocker stuff was worth the price IMO. Since it's a mech, I told him to just save his money and get a newer electro - something that he can handle and that doesnt end up apart on my work bench.

If I find anything about the orings I will pass it on. Its probably just easier to either buy a whole one off of ebay or replace the three-way. One of the many benafits to have a Palmer front end on mine is that I never have to worry about such things :-)

in all honesty the dye pneumatics suck, i have not found anyone that didnt have problems with them. it probably would be easiest if you just got a new 3 way, you can get them very cheap now and get ones that are much bettter quality like ST bomb, or a palmerrs quick switch

Any reccomendations as to what 3-way to get or where to get it from? I checked PB gear and although they're local to me here in Illinois they only seem to have shocktech stuff that is out of stock anyway. Is there a decent online store anyone can reccomend? I might also need a new trigger rod as well? Or does that come with the 3-way? The Dye one threads onto the trigger rod, and some I've seen just slip over the end and tighten with a set screw.

no actuator rods are noramly seperate. i dont know off hand where you can look but it might be better to get one used.

Bomb 3way from Shocktech (http://www.shocktechusa.com/pages/marker_parts/autococker/mp_ac_bomb3way.htm)
Timing Rod from Shocktech (http://www.shocktechusa.com/pages/marker_parts/autococker/mp_ac_timerod.htm)

Not the cheapest stuff, but you can goto badlands to pick them up if you are close to chicago

Palmers has everything you will need. Im pretty sure that the actuator rod used on the dye 3-way is different than a regular one.

It is diffrent, has a diffrent threading. I have 2 of them in blue, but they leak also, so not really looking to sell them
