Introduction
A practical tutorial teaching players how to inspect, clean, and maintain detents to prevent double feeding, rollouts, and inconsistent firing.
Key Points
- Explains detent purpose and location.
- Shows how to remove surface debris safely.
- Teaches identifying worn or weak detents.
- Covers basic replacement awareness.
- Improves feeding predictability and consistency.
Details
Players begin by locating the detents near the breech area inside the marker body. Detents are inspected for paint buildup, shell fragments, or dirt that may prevent them from moving freely.
Using a microfiber cloth or cotton tipped applicator, players wipe debris gently without forcing anything into the breech. Worn detents those that appear flattened, cracked, or extremely soft are flagged for later replacement.
Detent care is simple, but it directly affects consistent loading and prevents rollouts during movement.
Routine inspection keeps the feeding system predictable and reduces misfires or double feeds.
