shotgun sam Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 what would happen if you used a thicker O ring ( 22mm * 2mm changed to a 22mm * 4mm) or 2 O rings in a semi auto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Unless you have a pretty good qualification in fluid power technology and design, you really shouldn't think about fiddling. Should you have such a qualification, then you'd know better than to even consider it! Seriously, sam, the technology behind the selection of and the machining for any given O ring seal is quite complex. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undersize, leakage and the really problematic one is the seal coming out of its groove and everything seizing up. Obviously, those remarks only refer to the seals used in a dynamic situation. As I expect you already know, when you need a replacement, they're pricey for what they are. Now, the designer would have used standard sizes so they're not special to a Beretta Mk 901 Supa Dupa 19 bore for which your local RFD will charge you £9.87 for a set; no, they'll be pennies at your local hydraulic engineers.
