Its the sort of thing that you need to find or make an oring sindicate... Buy 200 between 10 people and each have 20

Good idea. I seem to remember that when I needed rings for a TX200 / TX200SR I bought 'in bulk' .. maybe 50? then sold them on here or at the local club at cost. I did have to charge postage though which put the price up a bit but still cheaper than buying elsewhere when you consider that a 'airgun spares supplier' of one or two rings would also charge postage.
I guess that a drawback is finding enough people who want what you have. For the rings I mention, I never did sell enough rings to recover costs but since then I have used them elsewhere and given some away.
Cheers, Phil

The problem I've found from a lot of these suppliers is they charge an absolute fortune for sending small parts, I recently bought a new Theoben piston seal which I was charged £3.95 postage but turned up in a white envelope with a large letter stamp on it, couldn't have cost more than £2 to send (including the cost of the envelope), I've also bought parts in the past from a well known gun shop and was charged £5.95 postage to send a trigger blade, that didn't even cost a third of the price to send.

As I have needed to reseal an S410 I have added the O rings to my post 'O ring database'. I trust the info is accurate.
One slight discrepancy I noted was the seal that seals the pressure gauge to the mount. Ours is an older 410 with the old filler valve i.e. pre the T bar one. The gauge seal on ours is more like a flat rubber washer yet the parts list suggest a BS011. Even when squashed during fitting, this is not going to become the same as our original.
I wonder why? Mind you AA produce a video showing how to remove the gauge with a 22mm socket. That socket is too big for our gauge which could be 21mm (20mm is too small) or its imperial equivalent. I had neither so used an adjustable spanner. I have not quite finished the rebuild as I need a new bolt to hold the gauge mount on.
