Customer sent this in, it was the first gun he ever played with, and he got it from a now-deceased uncle. It had lain disassembled long enough the O-rings had basically crumbled to dust, and he wanted it restored.

Fun project, but I was rushed for time on the video.

Plus, a reminder: I've launched a second Patreon here, for those that wish to help support my works, but maybe aren't interested in the 'extra artwork' and such.

Either way, as always, thank you all for reading!

Restoring an early customized VM-68

Customer sent in a VM-68 that had been left to him by a now-deceased uncle, and wanted it reassembled and fixed back up. I'm guessing it had been customized sometime in the 90s. It had been stored in pieces for a very long time, and almost all the O-rings had dried up and crumbled. I didn't get too carried away with further mods, as it had some sentimental value to the client, but I thought it came out nicely, and shoots great!

Slightly disappointed that you didn't put the whole thing in a bag, go shooka-shooka, and out pops the repaired marker. And you call yourself Doc. ;-)

Sounds like fun.

So, how often does air equipment need to be pressure checked? I know the tanks need to be tested at least every five years; the last thing you need is to suddenly find the burst pressure has gone down in the middle of a game, or during a recharge. I ask as that air hose has a lot of rust on the jacket, there. I know PTFE is pretty resilient, but nothing is perfect.
