I just got a Sydarm. All original, great condtion. It is a bit leaky and needs orings. Where can I get orings specifically for the Sydarm. There are two orings around the 12 gram piston that need replaced. There are two orings around the vavle body that definately aren't on a classic valve that need replaced. I put two bottle orings on the 12 gram piston and they seem to be the right size, but I am unsure. I haven't messed with the valve body orings and they probably need replaced and may be the source of my leak. Where can I find those? Can any of you Sydarm guys help me out? Is it possible to find replacement parts? Can AGD help me out? I have invested a lot of money into getting this thing, I'd like for it to work.

Thanks in advance guys

I'm not knowledgeable at all on the subject, but I'm pretty sure if the O-rings are a standard size they should be easy to find. Don't know where, but call AGD for the sizes, then google yourself up some urethane!

Good advice. The only problem is gettin AGD on the phone. I work 7am to 7pm Monday - Friday. I can only think of food and sleep during lunch and never remember to call. I am a true AGD fan, but I don't need the headache of custom ordering orings, maybe this gun is better suited for the tinkerer.

Looks like tuna sells the original parts kit for the sydarm. Hopefully that will fix my problem. Ive delved into the sydarm maintance problems a bit, looks like these things are pretty sensitive. It shoots fine and has good velocity but with the slight leak I am only getting 6-8 shots before shoot down. Fix the leak, and it should be good to go. I have a feeling this thing is going to be ebay'd, I don't have time for fiddling. :cry:

^^ Did you try try to add a generous amount of lube to the 12 gram pierce pin assembly's two Orings??... If the O'rings on my pin assembly get a lil dry they will leak a little...

I did put oil on those orings, in fact I may have put too much and that is what is causing my problem.
