Does anyone else seem to tear there orings when they are working on putting the reg back together and onto the gun? Specifically the 017 and 018 rings

Have not experienced that problem.

Did you put some lube on them ?

I've seen it happen on my old demon, but lube it and make sure you have the threads lined up ok and you should be fine

There has been rough finish from milling on the demons, my advice would be is to take everything out and feel around for a rough spot or sharp edges, if you feel one get a high grit dremel head ( super fine polishing head) and attach it to a Allen key with tape, then by hand checking the spots. A lot of people have been having problems with burs because of the poor quality control that was occurring in the uk and those are the bodies people are currently receiving. Some are on the manifold ports coming into the gun, this results in the shuttle valves getting shredded. So do that and pm me with any further questions

when I see people cutting the orings its generally because they are putting the reg in on an angle and pushing without the orings actually being seated.. make sure the reg is straight and the 017 is lubed and gently push it in and you will be fine, as for the 018s I have never seen anyone shred one of those.

You can use a 017 Poly on top of the reg. Those never tear. But for the 018. Assemble the reg with the cover/shroud and make sure the 018 doesnt pop out of place. (that is when it will tear) then take the completely assembled reg and screw it in. If you put a small amount of lube on the 017 and in the gun it will make the chances of it ripping less.

I never thought of switching for the poly one. that should help. Ill try all of the above ideas next time i take the reg apart. Thanks everyone
