Finally found my VM68. I decided to not be lazy today and started to go through some unlabeled boxes/containers. I knew I had some paintball related items stashed away somewhere and was determined to find at least some of it and I did! Buried for 20+years.
First semi auto I’ve shot was a VM, not this one but a buddy of mines in high school. I ended up getting this one locally soon after, played with it for a year then I decided to make it a project. A project that I never finished. I know it’s only VM68 but it’s got to be one of my favorites. It’s heavy and I enjoyed the kick.
In the pictures:
-Body of course. Front ASA was removed and was planning putting a VASA
-2 stock hammers, 1 polished
-Lapco AC barrel adapter and VM Lapco Big Shot barrel. I shot Big Ball back in the day.
-Pro Shot kit.
-2 valves. Stock and I believe the other one is a Magna valve (correct me if I’m wrong) seems to be in the raw. I got that off of wheeBay as is. I know the Magna valves were blue.
-4 bolts. Stock, Venturi(aluminum and delrin) and a Starfire copycat?, also delrin. The aluminum Venturi looks to be in the raw and that came with the Magna valve. The other delrin bolts I got off of vm68.com or VM Empire. I think.
-Container of bits and pieces
I figured I’d take break from searching and share my find. The more I look at the more I want to finish it but I’m taking 1 project at a time. For now🍻
If anyone has more info on the raw valve/bolts listed that’ll be awesome. Y’all have a rocking weekend🤙🏽
