Hi All

I am by no means a "tinker" sort of guy when it comes to air guns and was hoping one of you may have this part lying around.
today my replica Air soft gun seems to have a small rubber washer or O ring snap.

Not sure what its purpose is as it just seems to be held around the barrel. perhaps a buffer when the slide move back? but for sure its not a seal.

Would anyone have a spare 17mm rubber O ring laying around? I'l pay of course

I cant get to my local hardware store due to Coivd ( I have someone in the family that is immune suppressed )
Any help would be appreciated!

You sure it is a 17mm OD? Because looks like it was a clean tear and currently larger, since it split apart. So if you piece it back together, it will shrink and bit. I'm wondering if it is 15 or 16mm? Also measure the barrel, because Inside Diameter of the O ring is important. Because you might get too small and they will tear trying to slide it over, or too large and it twists.

Just checked my o-ring kit. I have 15,16, and 18mm (ID) rings. Pm a mailing address to me and I'll mail all three of them to you. Call it a gift from Santa.

Thanks Ricksspace ( PM sent )

I'm not really certain of the size now that you have all brought that to my attention.

Looking at the pic, I'll include a few smaller sizes too. 12 & 13mm
One of them is bound to fit.
Stay safe.
