ULE Body Ball Detent Design = POOR???

[Jack & Coke]

Thanks...

I dropped by my local pb store and picked up this:

http://www.cobrapaintball.com/Accessories/Angels/LCD/lcd_indestruct.htm

Cobra Indestructdetent - iR3 / LCD / LED

We were the first to come out with a repairable ball detent for the Angels. With all of the changes in Angel bodies our old style would only fit the 2000 LCD bodies. However while reworking the shape we have now made the most durable detent ever. Almost indestructible (hence the name).

By using a piston assembly instead of a plastic ball that could wear out there is no way for the detent to break while playing, so you will never have to worry about it during a game.

This new model will fit any Angel iR3, LCD, or LED to date.

Price:
Black - $15.00
Blue - $15.00
Red - $15.00
Green - $15.00
Silver - $15.00

This detent is just like the magnetic detent in design (who copied who?) except it uses a very soft spring instead of a magnet.

So far, this detent appears to be better in the department of design, construction, and materials than the AGD one that comes with the ULE body.

I also had to add a Level 10 carrier o-ring just like before... Hmmm... did someone goof up on the dimensions of the ULE body during the design phase???

Too bad the ULE body didn't come with these better detents in the first place.

Jack and Coke,

Yep, mine only lasted 2000 rounds. It looked like the ball had hair line cracks in it when I received it. I even ask around on this forum and everyone said that they arent having any problems. I dont want a new one from AGD if they only last one case of paint. It really stinks when you start shooting 2 and sometimes 3 balls per shot.

I bought one of Kila's detents, 25 bucks to your door and 3 different size orings. I just installed it today so I havent tested it yet. Im sure it will last longer than the stock one.

I know that the loyal readers dont want to hear bad things about AGD product, but this one really is crappy.

Now if we can get Tom to produce blade triggers for our Emags. That would make up for detent IMO.
