I found an o-ring kit at school, 60 durometer polyeurathane o-rings. They are very soft, and I figured they would work better than the stock ones (less wear, less friction).
I was right. Put it in in the smallest carrier, put on the long LX spring, and gassed it up. Turned up the velocity until it started shooting, and chrono'd with some bigball. The first shot was 235 fps. So was the second.
Brought the velocity up to ~280 fps, and ripped through a hopper with no problems.
Riot[z-grip] and I put one in his mag, .5 carrier and the middle spring and it worked fine.
He switched down to the middle spring at AONE 4, because it wouldnt work right with the ULT kit. Today we switched his back up to the long spring, and it worked fine. No setup issues at all.
The only problem with them is that they would not be co2 tolerant, but if AGD packaged both types of o-rings with the LX, it seems like those of us using HPA would be saved the problems of choosing carriers and tweaking ULT triggers and such.
If you want to try it out, go to the hardware store and pick up an o-ring that fits the bolt (In all likelyhood it will be a black buna-n o-ring, 60 duro, but it should work essentialy the same as the ones i am using.) Use the smallest carrier and see if the long spring works. My money is on no issues.
