If u ever lose yours or forget to put yours back in after u clean your tippy. and u show up at the field and dont have another etc... u can use an O-Ring....

Its not perfect but it does the job... Ive never done this cause i dont own a tippy anymore, but my friends step dad did it and it worked somewhat.

whats a detend for anyways

**lbreevesii** · November 29th, 06:47 PM

lol. keeping it from double(Or triple) feeding and having balls rolling out your barrel before you fire.

**Roadkill** · November 29th, 06:55 PM

Most local feilds will have spare ball detents for tippys if thats what they rent (my local places have em

an o ring....

how the hell could u put a oring in for the detent

**paintthecatBLUE** · November 29th, 11:01 PM

^ thats what i was wondering. an oring is like twice the mass and takes up at least 5 times as much area as a ball detent. maybe if you put it on the inside of the barrel or something it would work, but it wouldnt stay there, it would come back and prevent paintballs from completely entering the chamber and then youre screwed because you have to take the barrel off to fix it. not something you want to be doing in the middle of a game.

u can cut it to act like a detent. and settle it in there. i didnt sayit was a perfect thing jsut if your desperate and dont wanna shoot 3 or 4 balls only going 50 feet.

**xjnation** · November 30th, 12:22 AM

wil lnot work well here is another option :
homemade ball detent

**Smitty** · November 30th, 12:24 AM

Wow XJ, thats is such a cool friggin idea, damn that never occured to me, nice dude, just nice is all I can say.

**xjnation** · November 30th, 12:29 AM

It comes from having too much time on my hands

**Smitty** · November 30th, 12:33 AM

Hey man post that in the FAQ and support stickey, so we know where its at. Thats like worthy of 2 rep points right there. I wish rep points were still around.

Cali Guy 14 · November 30th, 01:09 AM

so do i.......it was fun to see if u could get em......

That is kool.....i wonder if u coudl use a material to make higher quality detents.....make a cookie cutter and make a bunch and sell em, make some money, or i will.....

Flatliner105 · November 30th, 07:11 PM

or u could buy the best detents...the ones made by tippmann for like $1

however that will work for a emergency detent

Cali Guy 14 · November 30th, 07:19 PM

no what i am sayin is make a better than tippy ones, those are nice, but i bet there is a better material and a heavier duty way that works better........

Flatliner105 · November 30th, 07:40 PM

lol there is a saying that goes with paintball...esepcially autocockers...

if it ant broke...dont fix it.

tippmann detents are fine...im sure tippy made them out of a good material.

like i said xjs detents are good for emergencys...but for crying out loud ur not gonna make better detends then tippys.

**TheBabyJesus** · November 30th, 08:50 PM

i dont know some ppl have made some pretty damn good homemade upgrades

Cali Guy 14 · November 30th, 09:15 PM

i know bout that saying lol. Shoudl follow it a few times, hey where this come from, oh lets bend this jsut a lil.....

**Smitty** · November 30th, 10:12 PM

Instead of using the clear Permatex, maybe try the orange Permatex I think its a lil' tuffer.

**xjnation** · December 1st, 01:39 PM

actually I think lexel would be the best, itas a give and take for strength VS pliability
