I very well know that you guys know much about pumps, and of course i don't so if you would please listen to my dilemma that'd be awesome.
Well my friends oldstyle PGP that he gave to me .. was disfunctional .. After finally, getting off my lazy butt and making my homemade square screw driver, i got the internals apart ... almost is now functional ... the only problem is that .. the rubber o-ring broke of course leading to it'd disfunction :p, of course this was the main reasoning. Im not to sure what kind of o-ring it is, and what number o-ring either. I usually order my o-ring's from mcmaster (http://www.mcmaster.com), since it's pretty cheap in bulk, so i was wondering if you could possibly just inform me of what it is :).
You probably already know but the o-rings sort of look like this:
___
/___\ ... but that's not in proportion of course
There was also another problem, and that was the lead(metal) o-ring, right behind the square screw, it had chipped, and damaged, while my friend put it to harsh conditions, coulda also always been me though .... I was wondering if that was needed in order for the pump to function properly, if not .. where could i get them ??
As you know my oldstyle PGP does not use the square screw to take out the internals, but rather, i just slightly hit the back to make it pop out.
Another question is, when i put the 12g cartridge in and screw it in (front model), and try to take it out after the cartridge is completely empty, the co2 doesn't come out after banging on the knee, or other methods, i was wondering if there was a better, fool proof or near that matter, to take the cartridge out.
You also probably know that in order to penetrate the 12g cartridge when you first put it in, you need to pump it, and i do know that you can make a direct penitration mod .. but i'd rather just keep it this way for now ;)
Informative and complete answers would be appreciated, thanks a lot all KUSA members :)
