    Reunited after 20+ years

    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🤙🏽

    Wow that's clean! They usually look like they were used to drive in tent stakes, then buried in the swap until next time they were needed.

        i'm used to the white bolt material being nylon instead of delrin... happily pick up that 3 hole venturi if you decide to part with it
