I would like to buy an o´ring kit for my quest, but FEP NEVER answers an email so Markerkits, and I dont know any other online shop that sells this kind of kit, any other dealer?
Its quite difficult to find where to buy stuff for the Quest...
Thanks!

How can markerkits be back ordered? They sell ORINGS for gosh sakes.

I know. But at least thats what the guy told me. :crash:

If I don't get them in the next week, I'm leaving him negative feedback.

get out your manual and make a note of all the oring sizes. then go to mcmaster-carr.com and get them in bulk there.

Yes! finally someone got my point, thanks dude!
btw, i got the manual and pointed out the oring sizes if anyone needs them herein:

006 x1
011 x1
014 x3
015 x2
017 x3
018 x4

This are the bolt, pin, reg and LPR Orings, there are probably more small orings somewhere inside the marker (noid?) but these are main ones.

what material should I order? polyurethane?

buna n. or buna nitrile. i forget what they call it on the site

buying them all in urethane is very cost prohibitive and very unnecessary.

oh.....and im pretty sure those are all the oring sizes you need for anything other than inside the noid or the noid gasket.

this is the thickness of the oring.

durometer isn't thicknes is hardness.
90 is extremely hard, almost plastic hard(an example would be urethane #015 tank orings, which are stiff).
if i'm not mistaken all the orings of te quest look like 80 duro

I called FEP. They use a 70 Durometer.


get out your manual and make a note of all the oring sizes. then go to mcmaster-carr.com and get them in bulk there.

I wish these guys sold in packs less than 100 for standard buna-n durometer 70 orings.








For 100 of each o-ring, it is going to be 17.56 before shipping. Not bad, thats a TON of O-rings.

kleivonen.........your bitching about them only selling in bulk and then saying that they have good prices.............make up your damn mind!!!
20 bucks for every damn oring you could need(for a quest... or most other guns if you had the sizes) for that cheap is daaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmn good.
not to mention you could sell a few to every other person at the field that needs an oring in those sizes for a few cents(.25 minimum)youd make your money back quick if you wanted to.

and i DID SAY they were for sale IN BULK!

oh.....and for those of you that were wondering..... standard durometer for buna-n orings is 70. and that is the same durometer that nearly everybody uses for orings.
sp likes to confuse people with goofy ass numbers but most are standard orings. even the ones that are 90 durometer are that way because they are urethane, which is fairly standard for that material. they just give goofy numbers and confusing info to get you to buy thier parts/oring kits instead of spending your money somewhere else to get the same thing for less.

also......on the topic of urethane orings...... the breech oring SHOULD be urethane on the quest. you can also change out the middle bolt oring to urethane. they are changed to urethane because they are somewhat more wear resistant and wont wear out so quick, but if you look, urethane also costs more. the only one that comes from the factory is the breech oring. only sometimes does the middle bolt oring come as urethane. it is not necessary for it to be urethane. buna works just fine(my quest has never had a problem). i would recommend urethane for the breech........but i doubt it will need replacing for quite some time. a urethane bolt oring is just for a chronic leak caused by that oring that wont fix any other way.

I wasn't bitching, I just don't need SO MANY of them... Like it would be perfect if they also sold in packs of 50.


Wishing =/= Bitching


Yes, $20 for 600 o-rings isn't bad, But like $12 for 300 o-rings might have been better for the average paintballer, because honestly. I don't think any of us need that many o-rings.
