HD extractor springs & CRANE O-rings

[VA_Dinger]

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.

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.

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:

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.
