Brand New XMT Unibody.......The EVO!!!!!

[ScottyBeans]

This body style would look super nice with a kaner barrel. Similar cuts, I think

[Xmagterror]

hopefully he makes it like the shockwave foregrip adapter plates

Yes very similar

I think this is already settled, but I agree with those that have voice the preference of having threaded feednecks. Empire threading might make more sense from an availability standpoint.

Definitely would prefer (by several orders of manitude) a non-threaded detent solution. If the threaded detents must persist, I'd prefer cocker detents as there seems to be more options, some of which are rebuildable.

Would it be possible to make threaded detents kind of like the ones rpg makes? Maybe a little thinner? Those are by far my favorite detents, they can also be rebuilt and anodized

Rogue doesnt have any in stock ?

[Xmagterror]

Im still leaning towards using angel detents. the threaded parts that screws into the body on an autococker detent is shorter than an angel...meaning the head of the detent will be sunk in the body to get the detent ball where it needs to be.

He hasn't for years.

[boo]

What's wrong with Kila? They still have Angel detents in stock and they are rebuild able.

They aren't very reliable...seems like the tiny retaining "ears" rock out of the retaining o-ring. I've shot out exactly half of the kilas I've used and had to fiddle with finding different o-rings (or double-stacking them) to successfully retain the detent.

What about axe detents? Strong, cheap, rebuildable and abundant.

[Laku]

Biggest reasons I'd like PE detents or something similar hidden is that it would make the body more sleek. And also because you can get PE detents all over the world, but Angel detents or feednecks I haven't been able to find on any store in Europe (not saying that I've found all the stores online obviously).

Thats actually not a bad idea, they still sell the 2014 Axe new.

Take the feedneck threads and the detents from a really popular marker......

[GoatBoy]

Anyone else find it strange that detents are still an unsettled issue in what is now nearly 2016?

I've never personally had problems with the detents on my ULE's, but I have seen them fail, and fail, and fail, and fail some more for other people.

[splat15k]

^Exactly. Time for something new/better instead of regurgitating the same flawed offerings in the name of standardization.

Yes, and not at all.

What I find strange is that for all the advancement (and Axe detents are plenty advanced and IMO the best spring-type detents on the planet), there is still nothing out there that can touch Tippmann style detents for overall blend of drop-dead simplicity, durability, function, and value.

Kind of curious that while most everyone has gone from one design to another, Tippmann has quietly been using the same style for more than two decades with great success. They haven't bothered to change it because, frankly, it is a nearly perfect design.

It makes all other one-piece models look positively imbecile by comparison. Come to think of it, it makes most other models of any kind look fairly imbecile by comparison. It doesn't need to appear clever or sophisticated because it just works. And if Tippmann ever goes out, it can be printed for next to nothing.

If you are going to use a pre-existing design and place bets on its being cheaply available in the future, that is the one.
