A side rant, because I'm sick of AI slop. I type in 0.75x0.053 o-ring. Googles AI says this matches a standard O38 o-ring size. An O38 is 1/16th, or 0.0625. So, wrong and worthless. Every time someone says xxx AI program says...... I just want to cram a dirty sock down their throat and wrap their face in duck tape leaving only the nose sticking out and tell them to have fun taking it off.

Every time someone posts some ai synopsis I block them. They clearly have nothing of any value to add themselves and have outsourced their actual brain to someone else
If I wanted some Ai slop for discussion id go use it myslelf.

Im not sure any of these will work if I am being honest.
All three are rectangular seals, so you have to be careful with "thickness" terms..

Good catch.

Haha, AI has been good for business on my end. Lots of folks AI their symptoms and are pretty motivated to come to the ER in the middle of the night. Although it feels harder to convince folks that AI is not giving them accurate information than it was to convince them the medical website they are on is not legit..

Same garbage is getting regurgitated by AI that is on the medical clickbait sites for the most part.

Total digression here but thanks for posting on the turrets, I need to “fix” mine this winter as well.

Well, now I feel dumb for not noticing that.

So, stretch reduces cross section. How much stretch are you getting on that 0.053 ring?

An undersized 1.5 mm ring should stretch to a smaller CS. Apparently the percent reduction in CS is about 1/2 the percent of stretch. So a 22 mm x 1.5 mm ring will have about 0.053 thickness on the Maven.

 

[Marbles]

Alternatively would be a 1.2 mm x 26 mm. Would be thinner than an over stretched 1.5 mm.

My brother in Christ, as someone who could walk through the poisson's ratio and figure the diameter after stretch, I'm just gonna throw the Orings in and report back

I ordered some 1.2 x 26 mm rings and will update on how they work once I have them in hand.

 

[Shortschaf]

i ordered these. 25 for nine bucks delivered. Ill follow up but they should be perfect.

Metric Buna O-rings 20 x 1.2mm Minimum 25 pcs

13mm ID x 15.4mm OD x 1.2mm CS-Price for 25 pcs

These Orings worked good to tighten the turrets. I would recommend trying out the electrical tape first, then using these if you want it tighter. I slightly prefer electrical tape, but with tape do still have the turret occasionally spin a few clicks in and out of the truck

And 1.2mm orings are the max I would recommend.
The turret now feels similar in tightness to the Maven's magnification ring or to an SWFA turret

I personally prefer how electrical tape feels since they are still a little tactile. But with these orings, your turrets should stay put on zero very well too!

The stretch is definitely needed. The 26mm x 1.2 mm do not work as I cannot get the cap over them.

Guess I'll be spending a few more buck.

if you pm me i can drop a couple in an envelope. I will never use the other 23 orings ha
