insert a makeshift detent in the left side of a tippmann 98?

[COMMANDERBOND]

I am looking for an easy way to insert a makeshift detent in the left side of a tippmann 98. This is for a custom that feeds from the bottom - right where the detant sits
there may be the possibility of detent on the tup

Its funny how the brain works - by asking the question i came up with a possibility.

You could try a wire detent like the BE Raptor through the plug filling the original feed port.

Tap the body for a cocker style detent?

iI had some beate marker with those style detents and sold them. was an mistake was saving for just that putpose.

thank you for the advice.

Iirc, you have a good pocket in the top of the body.

In that area that is the sight rail, and cocking rod. Can you carefully cut the pocket up top in each half?

I have a magfed Tippmann copy and due to the paint being fed from the bottom they have a standard Tippmann style detent in the top of the receiver.

The tippmann stormer elites use a detent/ball latch that seats into the feed tube hole much like a powerfeed plug. Would be easy to fab or model and print if you have access.

i am aware of these-just never thought of it. a pretty good simple solution. thanks

I’m modifying a Carver One to be Magfed. I’m basing my LokBolt & detent design on this. It fits through the stock feed neck hole.
I’m sure it could be modified to fit a T98.
