The price of airgun spares

[TenMetrePeter]

I am regularly amazed at the the price of even simple airgun parts such as O rings. This set me wondering how much it would cost to assemble a gun entirely from spare parts if it were possible. I think it would be eye watering.

If the manufacturers give o ring sizes and hardness you can buy them much cheaper from eb8y by the 10. Ditto most screws.
I try to mike them and buy them that way. Then I can replace them 9 more times for free.

I needed a grub screw years ago and my local hardware shop had them but only sold them in 10's.

And it was still cheaper than one from Hull cartridge.

I think I still have 9 somewhere if anybody needs one.

My first port of call for all screws, washers, 'O' rings etc is my local friendly engineers merchants.
