I picked myself up a Vm68 recently and i was looking on some tips and tricks for maintenance of this thing because i am up stream without a paddle at the moment

I have a copy of the factory manual I can scan for you if you need. You're lucky actually I'm selling my VM-68 and have it packed ready to go with the manual but nobody has bought it yet so I still have the manual handy if you need.
It's not the hardest thing to maintain, it's a basic STBB (only on growth hormones). The only thing that's a bit weird about it is the two methods of adjusting velocity: The bolt and the valve.
I've found with mine that the "fingers" style detent will take a set if left installed during storage. The best thing to do is to remove the feed-neck when storing the marker.
Otherwise treat it like you would a Spyder (or a Tippmann), clean out any broken paint after use, occasionally open it up & clean it inside and give it a few drops of regular paintball oil in the ASA before use is all that's needed.
Let me know if you want me to scan the manual.
Vintagerex has a link to a PDF of the manual but it doesn't seem to work.

Edit: Manual available here.

Anything you could ever want to know about the VM and what mods you can do can be found at Vm Empire v2.0

One of the best tips you may not find there is that when you're not using the gun and going to store it away,remove the ball feed detent fingers or feedblock from the gun...it'll make your detent fingers last alot longer
