The Tippmann Ball Latch/Detent (Part #FA-18) is a critical replacement part for Tippmann paintball markers, including the 98 Custom, Model 98, Custom Pro, A5, X7, and X7 Phenom. Ma de of flexible, durable rubber, it prevents paintballs from rolling out of the barrel before firing, ensuring proper loading and reducing double-feeding or chopping issues. It’s softer and more resilient than OEM versions, with a silicone/rubber composition for longevity, though it should be replaced every 1-3 years based on usage and weather conditions. Installation requires splitting the gun case, which can be tricky due to springs and rods, so referencing a guide or video is recommended. Show more
