Dye Ball Detent Clip

You should replace your detents if you notice paintballs rolling out of the barrel before you fire or if you are experiencing frequent barrel breaks. These are clear signs that the rubber or clip has worn down and is no longer holding the ball securely in the breech.

This part is designed for the Dye DM8 through DM15 series, the NT, M2, DAM, and the Proto Reflex Rail. If your marker is outside of these specific models, it likely requires a different detent system.

This listing is for a single replacement clip. If you are performing a full maintenance overhaul on your marker, we recommend checking both sides of the breech and replacing both detents simultaneously to ensure consistent tension.

Yes, replacing the ball detent is a straightforward maintenance task that typically requires only basic tools. You will generally need to remove the eye covers or the barrel assembly to access the detent slot, swap the old clip for the new one, and reassemble.

Detents rely on precise tension to hold a paintball in place without crushing it. Using factory-spec parts ensures the material density and shape are exactly what the marker was engineered for, preventing feeding issues or unnecessary ball breakage.
