I wouldn't mind seeing what O-rings would look like on the main grip of my sentinel, but have zero idea what to look for or buy.... I searched the forum but no luck finding any info...

Thanks... when I search online (I'm in Canada) for my local HomeDepot, Lowes, etc o-ring stock nothing comes up with that description...  they have actualy sizes for the most part such as "2 Pack 11/16" ID x 7/8" OD Faucet O-Rings" or whatever...   is "umm" an actual thing or you just typing "ummmmmm" lol? I do see O-rings described as for a faucet, but nothing that mentions umm number 7....  Maybe it's an American thing?

UPDATE: haha no sooner did I post this I tried googling "number 7 o-ring" and found a 10 pack on HomeDepot.com...  I'll poke around homedepot.ca again.. I do see the equivalent measurements now tho, from that item on the .com page, "3/8 in. I.D. x 1/2 in. O.D. x 1/16 in. wall thickness"

After exhausting all the local retailers and no luck finding anything online, searched out a local company that manufactures all sorts of seals including O Rings...  They hooked me up...

My post meant to say who not so. Who you bought the O-rings from.

Ohhhh....  After calling every retailer here in Calgary (Home Depot, Home Hardware, Lowe's, Rona, etc...), then looking on Amazon.ca with no luck, then searching out plumbing supply stores, I finally lucked out with a local company called KC Seals Inc. Big shout out to them for letting me come down to their production facility so that I could get the saber sized up for the exact O-rings I needed. Luckily for me, the fellow who answered the phone was a cosplayer and they all were very interested in the sabers when I brought them in (had the whole team surrounding me while I was there). I should bring both my sabers down with the blades to show them the results, and let them have some fun dueling in their big open space.

I realize now that there's still two empty slots on the emitter of my Sentinel that could take either the same size O-rings (if I wanted them to remain flush with the aluminum) or maybe a slightly bigger one to fill the grooves completely. I'm going to take another drive over to their site to see if I can buy a few more...

Every time I think I'm finished, I'm not... lol
