DO NOT buy O-rings off of eBay. There are MANY grade of O-Rings and if you find them on ebay for less than $.05 a piece then they are NOT the good ones and you will go through one EVERY time you take your tank off. Go to a reputable online dealer and buy them. I speak this from expierence.

Well, it's a common thing to think. Don't worry about it. I just don't want people getting screwed over like I did.

Well, I made an error. Good O-rings cost around $.30 - $.50 a piece. They will still not last long if you do not take your tank off your gun correctly (aka shoot it, unscrew a bit, shoot, unscrew, shoot....until the gun fires down) but if you remove the tank correctly, one good o-ring will last hundreds of games.

If there is one near you, go to a heavy equipment dealer like CAT or Komatsu (the companies that make bulldozers and such). They have the highest grade orings you can buy on the planet. Their orings have to stand up to the high pressures found on these big machines and they are better than some of the cheapie orings being sold for paintball. You will pay more for them, but you get what you pay for. Just take the orings you need along with you so they can match them up.

I bought my tank around 3 years ago and I replaced the O-ring when I had it Hydro tested.

I've recieved 100 o-rings for about 7 bucks off eBay. They are the black ones. They are GREAT. I took off my tank about 15 times before it broke (with air). Perhaps some people sell ones that are low quality. I know mine are great. If you need the person's user ID off eBay that I bought it from, you can most likely catch me on aim @ "CON spanks" or "impeachme2", or just email me.

only buy things from the companys on ebay, and remember cheaper is less quality most of the time, if you buy a 50 cent thing and a 2.00 dollar thing, the 2.00 will most likey be the better of the two, unless your an idiot like me and you get ripped off all the time! lol!
