    Need an o-ring slighty fatter than the standard C/P/G tailcap o-ring

    A trick that I've found useful when standard sized o-rings are just a bit too small is to use teflon tape to make them fit better.

    Sold/Expired FS: DonShock's Mag Mods (SALE ENDED!)

    Re: FS: DonShock's Mag Mods (Last chance!) Xuen7, It's primarily based on our first transaction. You stated you would take the stubby set and only needed the shipping costs.
