: I am a bit new to paintball and just got my gun about 2 months ago. When I was playing today my
: o ring on my tank froze up when i was Dry firing my gun to get it off. I know that if it freezes it is bad but i dont know how to get the bad o ring off so i can replace it.
@@@ Keep the o-rings and threads lubed with a drop of light gun oil.
Get the bad o-ring off with a small pair of tweezers, such as from a Swiss Army Knife, or cut it with a small Exacto blade, just don't scratch the tank threads. Lube up a new 0-ring and it will slide right on using just your fingers.
