    Well worth the money Aaron. I do exactly the same. Spent years paying £20 for 6 or 7 ‘O’ rings then found something very similar to this on Amazon. Thanks for always looking out for us shooters buddy. Stay safe. Roger.

      I paid tons of money to FX for just a few O-rings and though they were just an expensive item. Then I found hundreds of them for just a few buck. It was then that I knew FX was a greedy company. Thanks for watching.

      Hi Aaron
      i was out at the weekend hunting and testing a new air rifle , it work very well and i did see a few rabbit and pigeon . I got one rabbit at 101 yards and a pigeon at 82 yards so i am happy with the rifle but will be doing more testing this week.
      all my sound mods are made and the shroud for my P15 just need to put it all together but the hunting come first as i have to keep the farmer happy with my pest control.
      I will get round to filming soon a hope.

    You just earned a sub for your generous efforts… thanks for this info brother… from one air gunner to another…. I’ve been into this hobby for about 5 years and I just love how much of an adventure it’s been. Around every corner lurks a potential tidbit of priceless knowledge or a treasure that you couldn’t believe actually exists . As opposed to firearms where most things have already been discovered and the knowledge about firearms is common and practical not to mention very available in all media forms. Airguns strangely has far fewer dedicated enthusiasts so the info is limited rare and requires an adventurous and creative mindset to be a successful hobbyist collector, tinkerer etc. hell it can be done with determination but one can be an airgunner without being totally broke as well. My collection includes the snowpeak pp750 carbine /pistol 22 cal, the aea hp max 357, aea hp ss plus 30 cal. And the Benjamin maurader in 22 cal. Currently that’s all I got as far as pcps go but I trade and barter a lot but besides the Benjamin I think those will be permanent residents bc they perform outstandingly and their prices are extremely affordable for air guns… I’m looking forward to adding many more but my focus is on performance and budget . I just can justify buying a 2000 or more air gun when so many are available at a fraction of that which to me perform in a matter that doesn’t leave anything to be desired …hope to see you doing your airgun channel and enjoying the hobby for many years to come

    I’m new to PCP airguns, but not new to maintenance. I wonder if there are other materials like PTFE, for example, O-rings that would offer longer life. I’ll do some research and ask some engineers at work and get back to this channel if anyone is interested. This is assuming that manufacturers are using the cheapest rubber available- but charging consumers more than they would pay for better materials.

    • @aaroncantrell8819

      Because of warranties I really don't think they are using cheap o-rings. There are plenty of other areas to save on costs. As for which o-rings last the longest I would love to know. Thanks.

    Have had to replace many. If you’ve got a dependable pcp that will last for years, there’s a good chance the o-rings will be the only thing needing changes. My Harbor Freight sets have found uses in many of my PCP’s.

    Thanks for the tip Aaron , appreciate it . . . really !
    There's just one thing about this set that 'bugs' me . . . and that is the fact that there's probably more material/energy in the container of the product then in the product itself.
    So in fact you throw more away then you actually use.
    I hate to point it out , but that's something we need to be aware of more . . . if we want our kids to share the same quality of life that we have had.
    Sorry if this is a bummer , but I think it's important. 🤔. . . 🙂

    • @aaroncantrell8819
      @aaroncantrell8819  3 роки тому +2

      Believer me the container will never be thrown away because there is no way to use all of the O rings. Given the state of our nation's politics along with global warming and Corvid, I think our kids quality of life has much more to fear than little plastic containers. Sorry if the is a bummer, but I think it's important to point out. Thanks for watching.

  • @ceterfo
    @ceterfo Рік тому

    I'm a bit late to the party but you bring up manufacturers o-rings and their price made me curious so I looked into it. When it comes to FX there are two different types of o-rings that they use for grades I should say buna 70 and 90. The main difference that I believe are guns are going for between these two different grades is for the stiffness. So I'm pretty sure the only downside to using just whatever you can find is maybe more ware if two soft and possibly not sealing correctly of too stiff. At least when it comes to the FX guns if you go on their website you can look at the blueprints and it will tell you which grade of o-ring to use and what size. I'm about to buy me an set of cases myself. I got a leak in my dreamline. I also live in Minnesota so having a couple of different grades of o-rings depending on what I'm working on make sense. At the end of the day I don't think it really matters.

    • @aaroncantrell8819
      @aaroncantrell8819  Рік тому

      I must admit that I have not used many of these after market o-rings but I must admit that the ones I have used have worked great. As for my FX products (FX Impact Mk1 and Wildcat Mk1)',like your Dreamline, they both have had serious o-ring problems (leaks) costing hundreds of dollars to be fixed by FX USA. So I don't hold their o-rings or other products in very high regard. Thanks.
