Jumping on this old thread:
The o-rings in my AV Avenger 22 cal have all hardened and gone square. Obviously they are no longer suitable for holding 300 bar pressure in that state. I’ve ordered an o-ring kit from Captain O-ring to get me back in business. The rings supplied in this kit are the typical Buna-N type rings, which I’ve had some experience with doing exactly what has happened in my Avenger: Hardening and squaring off. And my gun is only a few years old.
For not a lot more money you can buy Viton (tm), also known as FKM (Flourocarbon elastomer), o-rings, which are supposed to be more rugged and resistant to heat and chemicals. They also seem to be available in the required 90 durometer. Has anyone here tried using these? How was the longevity?
