I don't mean to butt in but, even though it's generally true that you won't have to replace seals, it's not as if every marker out there is 100% reliable without any exceptions. Sometimes parts just fail, I've had a few issues with any marker type, including aka guns.

You won't have to take the gun apart frequently if any at all, but if you do have to do it someday, then you might just as well replace the whole cartridge instead of messing with the seals. It's a lot more expensive though.

but orings don't last forever...I can see the noids and parts lasting awhile...but the orings?

isn't U015 a tank oring? I wonder if I could put quadrings in one and eek out even more speed

This might have been said already, but the majority of the o-rings in the viking are static, that means they don't ever move, The ones that do move are inside cartriges that are built to not be taken apart( that dosn't mean they can't be) for the most part when I was doing repairs on vikings/excaliburs the only bad orings where user earor(Ie the owner or a tech with out a clue ripped the cartridge apart ) and caused damage to the orings.

It was my job at AKA to actualy tear down and rebuild cartariges, for the most part we would just replace an entire cartridge at once it was less time consumming.

If and when the actual orings in a catridge need replaced there are a tone of people that can 1 walk you through it, or 2 do it for you. I personaly have a bunch of spare parts that I use to fix peoples vikings, that are coverfed in dust now because I haven't had to use them.

Like it has been said, the viking and the excals are built like Tanks , the guy that designed them was a player and wanted a gun that could be pulled ut and jsut played with , and have vary little matenance needed to keep them running, IE, couple drops of oil and a good whip down at the end of play.

Talk to you soon, and catch you in the middle.
