So for other rifles I have ordered from The O-Ring Store a bulk order of all the O-Rings I have ever needed. I am having trouble with the FX Maverick. I ordered a o-ring kit, but I don't want to do that every time I need a common one.

I can't figure out the breech one at all. I've tried searching varies o-ring supply with no luck. It's been a long day and I just need a little help. Thanks

A 8.11 (.177) 2529 O-ring 4,3 x 1,5 NBR 70
 
I've been digging deeper into the FX Mavericks o-rings and I've found that there are serious errors in both the online schematic AND the schematic they send with o-ring orders.

The schematic sent has different hardness's i.e. NBR90 instead of NBR70, this makes sense except one is several mm thicker than possible in it's location. The on-line schematic has the old durometer numbers but the right sizes. Numbers below correspond to the online schematic.

13) 10.0 x 1.5 NBR90 inside Regulator hole at bottom of threads

18) 7.5 x 2 NBR70 Regulator Body

20) 4.0 x 1.5 NBR90 End of Piston

23) 4.0 x 1.5 NBR90 Inside Regulator Body

25) 2.0 x 1.0 NBR90 (2x) Adjustment Screw, suggestion heat in boiling water slip on first one, then second one, or if you have a witches hat it’s easier. If you have a 3d printer and would have my everlasting gratitude you could print up a few of them. And no, heating them doesn't mess them up, they return to shape.

Here is one I made on my Lathe to help install the Valve-Body's tail O-ring in my Rapid MKII..
I used hard O-rings ..shore 90

This makes it easy to just roll the O-ring into place.. Especially Hard O-rings...
Also just a little bit of silicone grease helps...

Witch’s hard hat, lol. I had these made to fit over fx reg adjustment screws and the tips of the fx valve rods. It slip over the end of the rod/screw, and once the o ring slips off it lands right into the first groove closest o the end that sits inside the hat. Then when the second o ring slides off, it rides over the first o ring in place and onto its own groove

Bought the boy a plinker mid 2021 from Pyramyd Air(Diana Bandit 5.5).
We went out this season and notice his pistol leaking.
He says it's been doing this for a while, holds for a day or so depending on the ambient temperatures.
I found the kit on ebay but it's in the UK and I'm not into paypal and duty customs.
I realize The O-Ring Store ect...., but don't want to buy an ultra delux kit with rings I don't and wont ever use.
I have contacted The Blueline Solutions site for info. We will see how that goes. Can't find seal specs./kit online in the states anywhere which I find off and suspicious. Hundreds maybe thousands of youtube review videos and barely a wisper about regular maintenance seals/kits replacement shortages here in the US. I'm reaching out as a entry point consumer for information on O-ring seal kit for this Diana Bandit or O-ring replacement seal specifications. The pistol is small enough and quit enough while dad hunts dear.

Update to contacting; Blue Line Solutions USA, 1434 ADMIRAL PL FERNDALE, WA. 98248 US.
BLS Warranty USA Rep. responded the very next day and have promised a solution to my dilemma. Yeah!
The boy is going to be so happy.

No o-ring kit from Blue Line Solutions 12/22/23.
