| A rebuildable ball detent for cockers. Keeps you from having to buy a new ball detent each time one jams. |
|
| Product Availability | |
|
| The Shocktech Rebuildable Ball Detent is newer, so it should be commonly available, both new and used. |

| Review: |
The stock ball detent that came with my marker could screw into the ball chamber. It used to jam the bolt in place, which resulted in me having multiple $4!+ fits. I had tried to Locktite it into place but another problem was that the ball seemed to get stuck halfway sometimes.
To install the Shocktech Rebuildable Ball Detent, you just put a bit of Locktite on the first three threads of the detent body, screw it into place until it touches the bolt, unscrew it a quarter-turn and let it dry. You then drop the ball in, then the spring and screw the cap.
I give it a 8 instead of a 10 because of the price and the ball is metal... delrin would have been nice. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you need to replace your ball detent it would be a good choice because... read the review. |

| Review: |
Theres not much to say its justa detent. It works good. way better than the stock. After using the stock detent about 2 times it broke. Hopefully this one will lasta bit longer. Im sure it will because shocktech usually makes very durable products. There hasnt been any problems so far. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Its a bit pricey but when i had purchased this item at my local paintball store, it wus 24.99. I only had a 20 on me so the guy at the counter just gave it to me for 20. This detent is one of the highest quality detents out on the market today. If u have the spare $$, GET IT!!! |

| Review: |
Lets face it, the stock detents on autocockers suck. Everyone I know who owns a cocker has had to replace them. For me, when I replace them this is my weapon of choice. I have never tried any others simply because the first one I got worked so well. Now I have them on all my cockers and have never had a single problem. They even include an extra spring just in case you lose the original or need to replace it.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Love this product, if you need a new detent--- buy it. If you don't-- buy it for when you do. |
