    O-ring questions

    Hey everyone, I am the proud new owner of an x-valved mag that will be getting to me tomorrow. The gun marks my return to paintball after a ten year hiatus. It will also be my second mag as I had a minimag way back in 1993. Super excited, but had a quick question. I've ordered a parts kit from agd but its not looking like it will be here before the weekend. The seller said the gun is in perfect working condition and I believe them, but I'm hoping to play this weekend and I'm worried about heading out to the field with no spares whatsoever. What are my options? I realize that o-rings from home depot etc are probably going to be lower quality but would they work as a stop gap? Are there any industrial sully places online where I could order something? I appreciate any suggestions.

      So I found a solution at MCB, someone caliper'd all the o-rings in their x-valve and came up with the following (posting in case anyone else has interest):

      Power Tube (on/off bottom) O-rings - 010
      Reg. Piston O-ring - 012
      Reg. Seat O-rings - 008
      Reg. Body O-ring - 017
      RT On/Off Small O-rings - 004
      Reg. Valve Pin O-rings - 006

      L10 Carrier o-ring - 008
      Reg. nut (barrel) o-ring - 017 or 018
      Teflon on/off o-ring - 006 (PTFE)
      Emag Quad O-ring - 006 (0.070" width, Buna-N)

      These are all available on www.mcmaster.com

          You can also buy complete Xvalve rebuild kits through Tunamart and the AGD online store. Kits include replacement springs, bumpers and foamy tips as well as all orings.

              and you'll get those before the weekend?

              Usually, old urethane on mags will usually last a day or two after being drug out of the closet, well oiled. It's kind of interesting

                  I ordered some stuff from mcmaster and it'll be here tomorrow but fingers crossed I don't even need it. Lots of oil it is.

                      Yes, they will work. They just won't last as long.
                      Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
