O-ring sizes

Nightgaunt · 07-28-2009, 04:56 AM

Hello everyone.
My cousin found old VM-68 somewhere and gave it to me to check it out and fix it if it doesn't operate properly. Since it has seen better days and most likely hasn't seen any kind of maintenance for years I decided i would disassemble it, check out if the parts are allright, chance the O-rings to brand new ones and lubricate it properly.
Now here's the problem: I can't find info about what sized O-rings I should get for it. I've read that there are places where you can buy the complete set of O-rings for VM-68 but the problem is I'd have to order it overseas to Finland and I'm not willing to do so right now. Local paintball stores are no help.
So, does anyone have information about the O-rings or is there a site in the internet where I can check it out?

First of all, welcome to MCB!

These two websites have tons of information on the VM68:

Vm Empire v2.0
www.VM68.com

Palmer's has what you need, I'm sure they will ship to Finland. I know you don't want to order overseas, but this is all there is I believe.

Another person on this forum also has o-ring kits, American Paintball has them too.

Hye Power has it right.

If you can find the o-ring sizes in those linked sites similar sizes might be available in your local hardware/plumbing supply store. It would be worth a shot.
