      I think you had a pre redesign ball detent... the new ones are supersweet.

        That happened to my first detent on my xmag after about four months. The second one has been okay since (about seven months). Both of my detents were the bullet shaped black ones.

          The first time i shot my gun tat happened to me, Then i got a new one and the bolt ripped the ball out, and no it wasn't screwedin too far. So i just got a shock tech buildable ball detent and it works great. Yeah the design is definately poor.

            Now this is something I would have expected from AGD. Not a cheapo plastic ball and spring...

                  Yeah, I have had that happen to 3-count em-3 AGD detents. I called them and they sent replacements. No, they weren't in too tight. I have one of those magnetic Kila detents, and they rock. Well worth the money.

                    Here's the reply I received from an email I sent to AGD customer support:



                    ...The warranty period is 90 days. As the purchase was back in April, the warranty has expired. We could sell you a replacement detent or you can purchase an Angel threaded detent...

                      Jack, I've got 2 kila-detents on my SFL. THey are awesome. I actually am using them in that video of my SFL.

                      Edit, on 3 regular angel detents ive used, the ball has come out on all of them after 2 months.

                        The bullet shaped ones are NOT AGD detents. The ones that AGD makes have small milled grooves around the side, a flat top and a white ball. I have seen one shoot the ball out, but other than that, it seems like they're a pretty good detent. If the ones that you guys have been breaking are indeed AGD detents, contact AGD and tell them. If it's happening enough, they'll look at the design and see how they can fix it.

                        I would recommend the magnetic detent from Kila. Looks like a very solid and well designed detent.

                          I'm leaning towards that direction...

                              Jack - I'm running one of Kila's magnetic detents in my ULE and it works great, very nicely put together.
