    Gas Piston O-Ring source

    in R1 Rifle

    Posted

    Great tip. I will order some now. My R1 has served me well. Have taken a number of whitetails with it, the last one was a 240 yard shot from a tower start on a cold but windless November morning in South Carolina. I get a lot of compliments about the rifle topped with a Trijicon scope from fellow hunters, especially the guys in law enforcement who I think like the tacticool look of it.

     

    Hey i am reading this and relying many years after it was originally posted. I too could not see why it should cost 8-10 bucks for a tiny oring so i removed mine and measured it ............... with reasonable confidence i can say its a 012 size o-ring in Buna / Nitrile material . Bought a pack of 100 on Amazon for 4 bucks ........... will never probably use them but i have them just in case and at 4 bucks , deal of the century .

    I have an R1 with a 30-06 barrel and an extra 300WM barrel that I haven't yet tried. The 300 WM is the same matte finish as the 30-06. I plan to use the 300 WM on a boar hunt I am going on next month. Gonna bring home the bacon figuratively and literally.

    I spoke with Benelli customer service today and they suggested to check with Numrich (which I did, same o-ring, over $9) or authorized dealers. I'll ask my gunsmith about it and report back. I seriously doubt that the o-ring is made of anything special but I could be wrong.

     

    Oh, I also requested and received an electronic document from Benelli that is a detailed schematic of the R1 with all parts and part numbers listed and illustrated. If anyone wants a copy, PM me with your email address and I will send it to you. The document is entitled "ARGO Spare Parts List" if you request it from Benelli.

    How to change the comb

    in R1 Rifle

    Posted

    Hello Friends,

    I put high rings and scope on my new (used) R1 and ordered a high comb which should arrive this week. Could someone tell me how to swap out current comb with the high one? Is it as easy as pulling it off and snapping new one in, or is there a technique or trick to it?

    Thanks

    Hi Shooters, I recently bought an R1 and promptly disassembled and cleaned very thoroughly. The two o-rings attached to the gas assembly (I think the specific part is the gas collector cylinder) were in good shape but I thought I would buy some extras. Went on the Brownell's site and found an item number for "R1 O-Rings" and ordered it for 6.67 (with my C&R discount) thinking "gee I wonder how many o-rings will be in the packet. Well, I got one o-ring (gee thanks). Seems a bit steep, so I am wondering what you R1-experienced guys do to source these o-rings at a more reasonable cost.

    Thanks
