How often do you change your o rings? and where can I find instructions how to change them? I've got a daystate wolverene and fx verminator.
O-rings?

I just changed the pellet probe o-ring on my Daystate MVT FAC. Was not aware how important that was but suspected that something caused accuracy issues. I could not see on the old one any the small cracks, cuts, or deformities with the naked eye. Once replaced, it restored accuracy to what one should expect from a Daystate rifle. I heard others replace their pellet probe o-rings every 500-100 shots. They are cheap enough I guess, just make sure you get the right Duro number. For FAC or high-power Daystate says Duro 90 and for lower power or 12 ft/lbs a Duro 70.
As far as the others o-rings, some replace them every two-years, some never. If there isn't a leak and you have no accuracy issues, I would leave the alone. If you are already inside your rifle for some reason, you may want to replace them anyway since o-rings are not that expensive. Always use some silicone grease to make them last longer.
Not sure about other brands and types, I let others chime in.

There are plenty of posts on changing o-rings. Here is one I posted on the FX: http://airgunnation.dev/topic/fx-royale-o-ring-replacement/?view=all#post-36312
Your Wolverine is similar to the FX in that is uses a breach o-ring instead of probe o-ring. If your Wolverine is a .22, the breach o-ring is a metric 5mm x 1.5 mm Buna-N A70; Here is a reference I posted on DayState O-rings: DayState O-rings – A Reference for Owners.

There is also an FX Veriminator MkII Exploded Drawing available that shows the various o-rings and sizes used in the rifle. Here is the link: http://www.fxairguns.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Verminator-MkII.pdf

Not sure about FX & such but, good ole' crosman recommends lubing the pellet probe (inside the barrel) o-ring every 500 shots. This does seem to help them last longer.
We have an AA410 bolt action ( 10 year old?) that still has all original orings and is still prefect.
As far as internal O-rings if using the rig for competition "I" would replace all seal/orings at least every ten years.
