Hello Everyone,
I took a few years off from playing and tomorrow will be my first day back at it but I have a few questions from perusing the store and thinking about the age of my mags. They are both RT ULE Customs made back in 08 and other than oiling the ASA before every use and occasionally changing the carrier o-ring once it leaks, I have not had to do a thing to them. I gassed them up for the first time yesterday and other than manually un-sticking the bolt from the o-ring by hand, they fired as great as always (they sat in my basement which is pretty cool and dry the whole time).
Since they both worked well and did not leak, should I bother going through and replacing the o-rings since almost all of them are from 08 or is it a matter of ain't broke don't fix it?
I did not open the regulators yet to check the grease on the springs, but assuming it may need some, what type should I put in there? Would playing the game tomorrow before re-freshing the grease be a bad idea?
As for the spring, I noticed in the store they do not recommend using the silver one anymore but both my mags have been running this one since day 1 (I put them in as-is and did not cut to customize). Should I move to the red spring going forward or keep using the silver as always? The lack of efficiency never really bothered me but I guess I would not really know the difference since I only tried using the red spring for a single game years ago and noticed the paint broke a little more so I stopped using it permanently.
Is there anything I should do to them I have not mentioned already?
Thanks for the help!
