How many of you guys actually use genuine ones that are specifically sold for the rifle?
I've found that in my Crosman, the quality of normal ones from the DIY store was great, sometimes better. They're a bit more stiff, but don't seem to tear as much as original ones either. Goes for my QB too. They're also cheaper as they don't have to be send in or anything.  |

I have never bought a so called "genuine" O ring / seal or berring for anything in my life "that is not a specialized item"...
very very few companys make there own O-rings / seals / berring etc...
You only pay more for the so called "genuine" part......
A work we have rolls of O-ring rubber in diffrent sections "thickness"
its not possable to have every size & section O-ring in stock but it is
to have most common section sizes.....We just cut to length and glue the ends togeather....instance O-ring
Ps..broom stif = Durometer rating of the rubber used

Being into steam model engineering I have boxes of "Vitron" O-rings which are resistant to high tempreture and pressure, and I find these work well, also I do have a cheap box of assorted O-rings from the local hardware store which I also use.
