Palmer detent on Piranha?

[Raven911]

So I was thinking, possibly I could add one of these to my Piranha LB to help with the smaller paint issues. Shouldn’t be hard to drill the holes. Anyone try this?was thinking about it for the P68SC as well but not sure how that would fit.

I've seen this on a mod on a variety of non-PPS brass so I don't see why it wouldn't work. I know that JeeperCreeper has been adding cocker-style detents to a lot of his builds recently in case you are looking for other options too.

[JeeperCreeper]

Well these style detents just leave a hole in your barrel, so you will lose lots of efficiency if this is venting the air that's supposed to be propelling the ball out the barrel

[Toestr]

The hole is just ahead of the breach. It'll be fine so long as there are orings on the bolt.

[JeeperCreeper]

I believe OP wanted to use this to prevent rollout outs, so it would definitely be past the bolt. For its intended use however, you are correct.

[JonM]

The ball detents are for double feeds since they sit farther back in the breech. If you want to deal with roll-outs, wedgits are what you're looking for. I posted a tutorial in the Sheridan section here.

Like Mr Dread said, I prefer to do cocker style detents. You need metal ones like Cooper T or ones from autocockerparts.com. I recommend over dents in the barrel any day. PM me if you're interested in this route

I guess I've missed that on your builds. You're using those for roll outs?

[JeeperCreeper]

Recent-ish addition to the menu. Yes I put one in for rollout, and I've done doubles for springfeed to prevent double feed. I use a detent on my personal rig for quickdraw, hasn't let me down yet.

Lol, quick draw is a good test for roll out. I've flung a few balls that traveled farther than a goblin shoots on average.

[JonM]

If "dents in the barrel" are good enough for Palmer's, they're good enough for me.

[Loophole]

Palmers also had the perfect setup with 3 precision marks that were all identical. Replicating it by hand is impossible! You can still get decent results but definitely not up to the palmer standard.

[JonM]

I've done it on most of my brass markers. Precise placement or not, I've never experienced accuracy issues as a result.

[XEMON]

Same here, I usually make them a bit deep on purpose so I can run a slug through it and smooth, round and even out all the detents ...

[Chaos]

You can make one of those out of jewelry wire and a bead of the right size

[JeepDVLZ45]

I’m pretty sure that is just one of Jonnydread ‘s nipple rings…


all joking aside, my vote is for detents over widgets. JeeperCreeper does great work on them. They come out super clean and, most importantly, they WORK GREAT

[Trbo323]

Yeah these are for preventing double feeds. Just sold a Piranha lb that already had one. Worked well with reball even
