Where are you guys buying your replacement heavy-duty extractor springs and CRANE O-rings? I'm down to one spare and need to order a few.

g and r tactical. $3, a bargain.
Cold Zero
My springs are from SAW. I get the rings for free from a friend. I have a few I can send your way. Professor, send me a PM.
Last time I was at Crane the word was that they were going with the D-fender as it was cheaper to buy them, then to produce the O-ring to their specifications.
That was in 2004, might have changed since then.
Life is too short to deal with Blonde women, or carbine barrels over 10.5 inches
The Reliability Enhancement Kit #2 uses the "O" Ring.
I get my springs from either SAW or gunsprings.com. The O rings I get from ADCO.
Pat, my apologies if this has been covered on 10-8 but my memory isn't what it used to be:Originally Posted by Pat_Rogers
Are the "O" rings that Crane uses different than the ones found in Home Depot for instance? Last November I bought a few at Home Depot and took then as spares to the Super Dave Harrington class just in case anyone had issues but I never used them. I have only used the ones I purchased from ADCO because I'm worried about using the Home Depot ones for any length of time.
Thanks.
Brownells and DPMS carry the wolff extra power springs.
Roger, different. The #60 "O" rings commonly available would work for a short time in a pinch (and i have used a whole bunch of them on my guns as well as others).
Having said that, we were able to purchase a great quantity of the Crane type at a significant savings.
I understand that some Defenders were used. Crane stated that they felt there was no discernable difference in operation and they went to the O rings.
The owner of Defender probably has another view on this, and i have used several Defenders along with "O" rings without issue.
Sully carries O-rings. These are the synthetic versions that are heat resistant up to 400 degrees or so, chemical resistant, no cheapie rubber ones.
