As others have stated, these are much more durable than the stock detents, which should help them last longer. I bought these for the Tippmann Gryphon and have only played about 5 games with it, including two deep cleans with the stock detent, which appears to be severely broken down. It began with balls getting into the barrel, causing double feeds, and is now progressing to triple feeds, causing balls to collide and splatter in the barrel, necessitating frequent squeegeeing and accuracy issues (the gryphon has impressed me with its accuracy since I purchased it). I have yet to play a game with these new detents installed, but I am hopeful that they will solve my problems and that, because they appear to be much more durable, they will last longer on each one. I did get the 25 pack, so even if they don't last long, I'll have enough to replace them.
This was purchased for use with my Tippmann TMC. They aren't ready to use right away. You'll need a knife (preferably a sharp box-knife) and a pair of scissors. x-ray or a cutter Because it is too long, I used an acto knife to cut a small portion of the flat base off. It's perfect except for that.
So, I've got a bit of a bt- compat. The detent inlay is twice the size of the detents included with this order. It did, however, work, and it only took two tries to get the detent to stay put. My two cents is that the detents should be in both sizes (i. e. There are two types of detents: large and small. I have a minor complaint.
This was a pricey item, but if you take care of it, your paintball guns will last a long time.
