I like the System X detents but they are getting real hard to find now.
They can be anodized.

I'd say Kila but the stock ones work just as well and for the price (around $10), they are worth it. I mean, if they brake (rare, takes a lot of time), just buy a new one.

I haven't tried them all but the Shocktech ones are rebuildable/cleanable and work great.

Shocktech's are big round wise.

I know it's not a cocker detent, but I'm a big fan of just a simple rubber finger detent. Even Egos use those.

Ball detents just feel kind of over-engineered to me. Conical spring detents are a little better, but I like a detent I can buy for 25 cents apiece and throw away whenever I feel like it.

Now I've got my mind thinking about how to turn a ball detent into a rubber finger so I can adapt a ULE body. Anybody ever try that, or am I the only one that likes those things?

Actually... I love the stock AGD detents. Sure they wear out but they're cheap and you don't have to worry about adjusting them. :cheers:
