I may. First thing that may intimidate me is figuring out what's wrong with it. I havent' worked on a VM since 1997. I need to locate a parts layout to figure out what all is "supposed" to be in one.

Waiting...waiting...damn USPS. I actually worked on some of my guns this weekend, trying to clear some of the backlog in anticipation. Got the A-5 back together and stowed, and may actually be looking at finishing the Auto-Traccer sometime soon.

Well I got the gun a few days ago. Apart from being filthy, nothing looked really wrong externally. I imediatelly put it on the bench for a tear down. Got everthing out of it execpt the valve ( need to lay my hands on a *long* 3/8" bolt ). After that, I'll start with polishing all the internals, and cleaning out what looks like 2 decades of crud. I'm betting this beast was a field rental, judging by the serial number etched on the side. I did try to fire it, and typical for a VM, it wouldn't recock. Looking at the internals, nothing seems to be really wrong. I think I try the polishing, cleaning, and changing all the O-rings first and see if that fixes it. Next step, getting a lighter hammer, and an Automag spring. No, I don't want to lighten my own damn hammer. Drilling stainless steel for hours is not my idea of a good time. Anyone know where I can buy an aluminum hammer?

Did it come with that funky vert ASA? If so it wouldn't happen to be 3/8-16 threaded...?

Nope, seller gave me the wrong VM. We're working it out in trade for some parts, but I"m willing to live with it. I may just chop off the frong ASA anyway, and thread in a 1/8" NPT tap.
