you can specify that you want MIL-spec o-rings, it's just it's like $8/50 o-rings.

yep, thats what i saw as well.
i should also add, that if anyone is adamant about getting military spec orings, save yourself some cash by only ordering them for orings that will actually move.
personally, i think the concept of "mil-spec orings" is a little gimmicky when referring to paintball guns, but even if they do offer benefits, im certain those benefits will be pointless for a static oring that wont move.

im assuming those were urethane orings or they aren't standard, non-rated orings?
like i said, i dont order urethane orings from them since they are so expensive to begin with.

most urethane orings either-
A.) almost never go bad
B.) can be bummed from your local shop for a dollar or two
C.) can be replaced with Buna-N orings (although it might be a good idea to order a higher shore rating than the standard 70)

McMaster-Carr is a fantastic company. That's where I order my Dow 55 and Triflow from. I ordered it one night after 5 pm and had it the next day, all for under $40. Granted I'm 60 miles away from the warehouse in Chicago, but still amazingly quick for UPS Ground. I actually use them all the time at work, but I never thought about ordering o-rings from them. Guess I'll be making another order really soon!

NOOOOO

respond email from the company Thank you for your order. Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing complexity of United States export regulations, McMaster-Carr will only process orders from a few long-established customers in Canada. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this causes you.

Any one one would like to place my order and ship it out to a follow player?????????????

Nice find. Now I don't have to pay $20 for 100 o-rings.

And this is a trusted site?

I'll be putting an order in later this week for some stuff if you want me to throw your items on there.

As for the thread, yep McMaster is a good site been ordering from them for years. Usually only takes 1-2 days to get to me from Ohio.

But the site is a little buggy on some items, when you use their "guided search" type thing. Sometimes they won't give you the option you are looking for, so you might need to go back and try a different sequence.

Overall a good site to know about:

Springs, bolts, orings, macro, fittings and lubricants all in one place.

great find.. i was about to pull the trigger on a DM10 o-ring kit from ansgear.

milspec vs. reg... reg. is so cheap.. you can replace them after a day's play and still have better value than using "mil-spec" o-rings. :) will be putting together a DM10 kit real soon.

ALTHOUGH im lazy and i do kinda like the color coding. LOL

here you go guys.

the orings come in marked bags just like i said. they came to me in a padded envelope, but i didnt really bother including it.
the packing slip also labels the plastic bags they come in, so there should be any fear of getting the sizes confused.

combine the orings with a tackle box from walmart and some time in photoshop and you have a pretty functional tech kit-
front cover- an oring sizer (yes, that is oring monkey's oring sizer chart, i feel bad for removing their logos, but i didnt exactly have all the room in the world.)
inside cover- just some quick reference stuff for my DM. has which orings go where in the gun. also has some quick settings for my virtue board.
