I have to go to battle here in a just a few days, but I have a problem!

My VM's ball detent(rubber fingers) are messed up and my keeps feeding 2 balls. Its to late to order off the net and wont be here in time unless I pay a bunch for over night shipping.

I was wondering if there was another way or something I could get locally at a harware store or a DIY place to make my gun feed proprerly. Thanks so much fella's and take care!

Call Palmers and order it, request it shipped via USPS either priority or first class mail, you should still have it in time as priority is 2-3 days.

Cut an o-ring so it looks like a U and you can use that as a temp fix.

THANKS GUYS! I am gonna call Palmers tomorrow and see what they say but gonna do the o ring thing until then. Some dude on ebay is selling one for 25 bucks, is he smoking crack or is that what they go for? dam, i hope he is smoken...

That must be Ron-asp. He buys VMs and accessories then tries to re-sell them at ridiculous prices.

I think AC Basbas sells em too.

So I made something that so far works. I shot about 30 rounds in the garage and all singled shot but I will let u know after I get outside and test. I used the plastic outing of a wire, made it the same length of the rubber arms. cut the guage wire then pushed out the wire inside then u have the outside coating which is really durable. Update to follow... thanks for all the info fellas... gonna order some tomorrow.

Hey does the arms have to be rubber? Could I cut one out of a metal that would last a long time, or does it ahve to be flexible?

Needs to be flexible as the bolt will be passing right by it each shot, plus you don't want the metal you're using to catch the orings on the bolt and ruin them.

You can always try the old trick of flipping the ball fingers so they point back into the gun instead of out the barrel... if they aren't too bent it will work for a while.

And old trick was to place the fingers in backwards, or trim the fingers a bit so you can place it FURTHER into the breech.
