VM Seal kits

BretG · 05-23-2010, 11:41 PM

Broke the Magic Gun out from storage for some fun at a scenario game. Aired up and found a leak. Pulled it apart and the sure enough, the poppet was bad. Shame that, it had been in there for about 10 years.
I pulled a new one out and put it in the valve, reassembled and took it to the game. At the chrono, I couldn't get more than 220. Didn't have the valve tool with me, so it went back in the car.
At home, I pulled it apart and the poppet that I put in was found to be a lot shorter than the old one. It was a standard K/P series type without the piercing pin.
Is anyone selling seal kits for VMs anymore?

Ron-ASP has them for sale on Ebay for $20. Pricey, but they look like the real, longer VM ones. Someone else called "Straighttothetop" is selling them for $10.

I do not see them on proteam, vm68, or vmempire though. However, Palmers lists the seal kit for $30. That includes the bolt orings, which may not be usefull if using an aftermarket bolt.

Recieved and installed 2 new ones.
Both my VMs are running perfectly.
