I'm not surprised. That item has been discontinued for a long while now....

Hey e-luder

Should I use .25s or .20s in my g18?
Depends on the muzzle velocity of your gun and where you play.

My general rule of thumb is to run with 20's for a gun that shoots at around 300-310 fps. Then 23's at 315-350 FPS and 25's at 350FPS and above and so on and so on.

But for my purposes, I always use 23s after everything has been done.

Remember that a lighter projectile will have a harder time contending with the primal forces (ie. wind). Whereas the heavier ones will have better accuracy but will come out of the barrel at a slower FPS rate. Still the same muzzle energy but difference velocities.

It's a personal preference when it comes down to it. Some guys here swear by 23s, other guys swear by 28s and 25s. And others just use 20s to show off a high FPS output on their gun....

Just buy the 5ku ones or something cheap and paint the front sight white. They are like $10USD for the whole front and rear sight. The sight that I was looking at just said it was out of stock.

Also, do I need to put O-rings in my magazines fill valve?[
It's your choice. I like having no o-ring in my fill valves.
