Simple answer: The nearest full-service Ace Hardware. May not be the right material, but it'll work until you can purchased the correct one.

Depending on what area you live in. There are business that specializes in nothing but o rings. There used in almost every factory and form of manufacturing. Take the good one you have left for comparison. Some auto parts may be able to supply you.

And as always, never buy a single o-ring by itself ... get at least 10 or 20 incase it happens again. With a new gun, it probably will.

Yes same as the Impact. Check when you install/remove the barrel it isn't nicking the oring. If it does air will escape and the gun will get louder.
This may have happened before it cut it completely.
Lube the oring with silicone and as they come up against the receiver just twist a little left and right until they enter the receiver.
I use same size but nbr 90 on my Impact just because they are a bit stiffer but probably doesn't make any difference.
Good luck.

Perhaps I go overboard, but I slather silicon grease on all of the o-rings when reassembling any of my airguns. The excess (if any) cleans up easily using denatured alcohol. Just don't wipe down wooden stocks with it as it can ruin some finishes.

I bought a whole case of various types of O rings, they are on a pegs with sizes etc. from Amazon, about 20 dollars.
I have used two or three for other things none for the guns yet.

in my experience(10years+ on vacuum equipment) generic o rings kits are useless, there are too many norms, sizes and you have to be lucky to find a match.
it is better to order 10-20x pieces of exact sizes only those who one needs, typically you just need 3-5 different sized one to keep a typical PCP going for years.
no need to buy full kits either. change only the one which needs changing.

I ordered the case because with a lot of equipment i know that i will have a need now and then. And there are 10 of each size in about 40 different o ring sizes, and the sizes cover the 3 Marauders that i have. I actually replaced an O ring on one of my scuba tanks a few months ago from the case of O rings.
I agree don't buy one get back ups.
