Impact seal kit $40?

[Shinyknight]

I call and order a seal kit from fx. They said the compete kit to seal is $40. Dang that's expensive. eBay have like over 200+ o ring with different size and like $10. How is impact o ring so expensive? Anyone have order o ring kit from fx. Is it really $40? Or lady give me wrong info?

That's the quote I also got. I don't need any yet but want spares for my FX Crown. I'm scared to order the less costly ones because of quality concerns and lack of knowledge

Dang. I thought they got the wrong price. I told them I didn't want it. Mine isn't leaking but good to have back up. But $40 plus $8 shipping, smh. Too much for some o rings. Maybe we know the size we can find cheaper elsewhere. How many o ring does the kit even come with? Like 500 o ring or what lol. Cause I can get 270 o ring in different size for under $8 with shipping.

Their mark up appears to be atrociously high...48$ for an o-ring kit shipped...yikes.

Well, to build the kit, you need to inventory a boatload of O-Rings, and must tediously count, count and count. eBay kits are $25 to $45 so no real difference there. best bet is to follow this thread:

https://www.airgunnation.com/topic/impact-o-ring-list-corrected-with-links/



and spend about $40 on O-Rings and More, and have enough o-rings to reseal the gun 20 times over. I bought a kit off eBay before I decided to go this route. So much better to just be able to reach into a bag and pull the O-ring you need and have spares in case you screw up the ring you are working with or the ring is defective.

To be honest, if the kit comes with the little rubber ball for the valve adjuster, $40 might be a good deal. If you don't need the little rubber balls and such, just buy the o-rings as you need them. Works so much better.

If you own a fx gun you own the best of the best right? So $40 is just a drop in the bucket per say. It’s the price you have to pay to play I own a fx and will have to pay to to shoot it again. Price of owning the best

So I have a couple new guy question about the kit? I was just thinking about this? Is there a regular maintenance program you follow for certain ones? Example - getting you car an oil changed? 

I have read on other threads about upgraded o-rings with longer life spans. Is it just easier in the long run to go that way?

Thank you,

Eamon

Should be a group buy.

Bought a kit from ebay. Careful, there are different seals by version of impact and probably won't have all. My bet is go FX!

There are a couple of posts here with schematics and links to purchase o-rings individually. If you do that, for $40, you can buy a lifetime of o-rings for your FX Impact/Crown. But, if you are lazy like me, I spent $40 and ordered from FX-USA. They will ask you for your rifle's serial number(different regulators, etc...), then send you an exact complete set of o-rings for your rifle/regulator combination.



The nice thing about buying from FX-USA? The o-rings are individually packed and labelled from FX-USA, so it jives with Ernest's videos and FX's schematics. The FX labeling then allows you to re-order from places like oringsandmore.com and replace the ones you used by going with the FX-USA labeling. So, as long as you keep the FX o-ring set packages and labeling properly for future use, you only need to order from FX-USA once...
