Captain Oring vendor any good

Bought a set from him several years ago. No issues- shipped pretty fast if memory serves, & all the o-rings were correct size.

Kits are a massive waste of money unless you just can't be bothered to order a lifetime supply of each size you need from https://www.oringsandmore.com/
25 to 50 of every size in your airgun costs about the same as 1 kit on average.
This is my last order for the Vulcan3

Didn't know about captain oring. I just made a complete Edgun R5m/Leshiy classic O-ring order from www.theoringstore.com
I was shopping for metric sizes and ive never seen such a complete selection!
Once you know what sizes you need for your gun, either from schematics or parts lists, it's easy to order your own kits. There are usually minimum quantities involved, but prices are cheap!
I just took a look at the captain o ring website. If they made kits for Edguns I certainly would have been tempted to buy one because the engineering has already been done for you except they don't provide an itemized list that tells you which o-ring is for which exact part on your gun. You have to just grab from the bag and match up the ring to the part in hand.
Although they make kits for European airguns such as FX, which would be all metric, they don't appear to list individual metric O-rings for bulk/itemized purchase though. I looked at their bulk o-ring section of the store and all they have are standard ASTM dash# sizes from series -0xx to -3xx. Their kit box service matches an idea that I had to use fishing tackle boxes to make my own custom o-ring kit boxes for my airguns. I would put a label inside the lid of the box showing not only which size o-ring is in which compartment but what component the O-ring fits on for the gun. That would be really cool.
O-rings and more looks like a good source also, if you know what sizes you need and where they go. I think that's the part that trips people up, the time needed to research and find out what size O-rings your particular air gun needs, but you come away with a better understanding when you take the time to figure it out and write it down for your particular airguns.
The minimum shipping charge from the O-ring store is almost $10. O rings and more has a lower minimum shipping rate of $6 and change which may appeal to some depending on the size of your order.

Eh I think it is much easier to just order the kit that contains detailed instructions of where every o ring goes in the gun. Can’t beat the capt o ring kits.

No but do a search for a rubber and gasket supplier in reasonable distance from you. Find out the "number" of the needed orings and get a supply. Lacking that I would bring the old O ring for them to match up. I have a Marauder that is a ring clipping beast and i got a supply for under ten cents each. Be sure to get the correct hardness or durometer. My gun uses 70 durometer. I thought I would get half too smart and go to a tougher 90 durometer and the thing wouldn't compress enough to push the block into the air cylinder. Be sure to separate them and make notes as to what's what.
