Everyone claims the o-ring for airsoft gearbox piston head is #14. But it's really hard to find o-rings based on that identification. Lowes doesn't carry o-rings based on that designation. Home Depot's web site shows that it carry #14 o-rings. But when I get there, I didn't see any o-rings with the #14 designation. Instead, I found a box of #214 o-rings (see attached photo).
The #214 o-rings has a dimension of 15/16" O.D. x 3/4" I.D. x 3/32". Luckily, Home Depot's web page for the #14 o-ring shows the same dimension: "15/16 In. OD x 3/4 In. ID x 3/32 In. Wall".
I'm sure Lowes and other hardware store carries this dimension as well. You just need to know the dimension, rather than the #14 designator. And there it is above.

Make sure you get the o-ring with the exact three dimensions above.
I just had a friend who had no compression in his cylinder. He was sure it was the right o-ring, because the outer diameter (O.D.) and the inner diameter (I.D.) are correct. But there was no specification for the wall. He was sure that was the right o-ring. Well, he was wrong!
We went to Home Depot to get the #214 o-ring, which is 15/16" O.D. x 3/4" I.D. x 3/32". As soon as he put this o-ring in, he got compression in the cylinder.
He spent weeks taking apart his airsoft electronic gun (AEG), trying to get it to work. Don't half ass it. Make sure you get the right o-ring with the three dimensions above.

The piston head oring it not #14 size , 15/16 o-ring measure 23.813 mm
the correct o-ring size for mariu compatible cylinder head piston is 24mm so 19 x 24 x 2.5 o-ring

Title: AEG Potential Areas for Compression Leaks
Weblog: Airsoft SpecOps
Excerpt: The airsoft electronic gun (AEG) is really not a very complicated device. It basically pushes the BB out of the muzzle with a puff of air. How fast the AEG shoots depends on the strength of the air puff. The biggest culprit of FPS loss on an AEG is air leak, which weakens the puff of air. Here are s . . .

Title: O-Ring for AEG Cylinder Head
Weblog: Airsoft SpecOps
Excerpt: The o-ring for an airsoft electronic gun (AEG) cylinder head is the same as the AEG piston head. It is #14, which is 15/16 In. OD x 3/4 In. ID x 3/32 In. Wall. It is the same dimensions a s the #214 o-rings being sold at Home Depot. Be sure you match all three dimensions listed above.

Title: Maximizing Compression in AEG Cylinder
Weblog: Airsoft SpecOps
Excerpt: The spring, gears, and trigger in an airsoft electronic gun (AEG) are all mechanical parts. They either work or don't work. Very easy to tell. But the cylinder, piston, and nozzle are pneumatic parts, which is "technology that deals with the study and application of pressurized gas to produce mechan . . .
