were to buy a lower bolt o-ring

hardr0ck68 · 03-04-2009, 12:15 AM

My vm68 refuses to recock... I believe it is the lower bolt o-ring and I can't seem to find a replacement at the local hardware store. Many of the o-rings were smashed when I got this (both valve o-rings and the lower bolt, how does someone manage to do all that? )

Help me please!! I have a small collection, but it is a living museum if you will and I cannot stand to have a paintball gun that I cannot take off the wall and use!

It seems you've stumbled into the right place.

Any number of folk in here can probably point you around. For starters, try Proteamproducts. Good folks, fast service, and they've got what you need, pretty cheap.

You also might want to give the VM a stern lecturing, to set it back on the right path to success!

tank orings work just fine for the valve.

or try looking for new old stock VM repair kits...

as for buying the actual oring by itself...good luck...everywhere i contacted was sold out for a long time

yeah i finally found them at palmers.... I bought 2 and I hope that lasts me a while!

Is the lower bolt o-ring a non-standard part? why is it so hard to locate?

thanks for your help everyone!

For some strange reason, the VM 68 is not the most popular marker on the planet. Hence difficult to find parts.

For some unknown reason lots of players today have to have a fully-auto-super-ramping-electro-paint sprayer that shoots 20+ bps to enjoy the game of paintball........personaly I enjoy lugging around a paintball gun that could pull my arms out of their sockets and rattle my teeth with recoil.

Call me

school, just don't call me

Preach it, brother!

And pass the Geratol!

the lower bolt oring is a non-standard oring...but it can be substituted with a -112 IIRC...Ill have to check out palmers to see if he is actually selling the original cast orings or just a substituted size
