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

[dodge3500]

I have been using AGD thread in detents since they came out.. I have had TWO blow out on me.. EVER. Then again, I guess I know what I am doing. I can't believe that this has become so complicated. It's a ball detent.. not cold-fusion.

Lol I'm with you.

You know, it's funny that you linked that pic and that conversation in MCB. I still haven't been able to get even a single hit on these fabled bridge-style detents. No amount of searching turns them up anywhere else.

I've considered this design as well; it's basically a cross section slice of a Dye Assault Matrix detent.

Ultimately I still don't think it's as good as a Tippmann style. Seems slightly less customizaable, and if I have to make contact with a ball, I want it to be spread over a larger surface area.

And then when it comes time to fire, instead of "mushing" to get out of the way, it would be better for the entire thing to just be a good boy and lay down. Down, detent, down. Das a goo boi. Who's a good detent?

I've had AGD detents in my ULE bodies probably just as long, and I have had ZERO of them blow out on me, EVER.

Doesn't change the results when I sit down and actually look at the designs though.

Pretty sure AGD will make them forever and when they dont i will make some.

^ this...personally never had a problem with agd detents, but if you plan on making something I would much rather have a detent(axe, angel, cocker, or who ever makes detents that mount strait to the body) than have an extra screw on either side of the body to hold on a hidden detent...not to mention what a pain it would be to get screws ano'd to match anything other than raw or black bodies

I'd opt for a Q-lock feedneck, personally. Still my favorite feedneck of all time.

Feedkneck options for axe/empire?

Im really leaning towards angel feedneck threads and just ship with an adapter for empire. Im just afraid the empire necks are just a fad....thats why im going to thread the body. There is hardly any selection of them. the angel feedneck supplies have dried up also but with an adapter its not really a big deal....Plus many AGD owners have several angel necks already.

I think that would be fine. It's covering both options so anyone can choose what they want.

[boo]

That would be awesome, please make lots of extra adapters! This would give us a clean way to mount the empire springfeed to any ule body.

That's a great idea...!!! Why didn't I think of that? ;0)

Do you have pictures of how fore grips will connect.

I'll throw my detent opinion out since everybody else has. I say you go with a Dye eye pipe. Dye used them for 5 or 6 years and you can still easily find them. Also if they ever did run out I would imagine it would be easy to print. The only potential problem I see is I don't know if a level 10 bolt will fit. I'll have to drag out my DM8 and see if the pipe fits easily on a bolt.

[going_home]

Wasnt the eye pipe one of the many weak links in the Dye design ?

[boo]

So what you're saying is we need a fully pneumatic detent that keeps the ball in place using super low pressure air on the front of the ball when chambered and automatically cuts out during the firing sequence via infrared sensor? Brilliant!!

Yes! We need to overengineer the **** outta this detent design. **** even coming out with a new body, just release r&D versions of the body to the community at no charge with various detent designs. I think by the 5th generation we'll have detents as good as angel detents, but are in fact not angel detents! The return on investment for a 25 body run will totally be worth it.

I have an extra set of angel detents from a previous xmt project so I'm good.

You need to make more.

If I had the funds to finance another run I would but I'm tapped out this year my son is a dual sport athelete which require$ lot$ of money for training

I have a DM8 that still has the original eye pipe in it and it was my main shooter for several years. I'm guessing it has several hundred cases through it not counting dry firing.

I did check and a level 10 bolt does fit inside the eye pipe.
