    Ball Detents

    What different ball detents are available and what are their specifications? I'd like to know the threads required and the depth of the hole required.
    I other words, just how much do you have to take off the side of a slug body to correctly install a ball detent?

      Most of the ball detents are spring loaded, but I believe Festus used a magnet bases ball detent on his slug body. Definitely sounds like a good way to go.

      I found a few stainless steel 90 elbows that had a longer length to them that goes around even the sight rail on the emag nicely, I'll see if I can dig up the manufacturer's info and get you are part number.
