Things have changed over 35 years.
From what I can tell, the shape of this detent isn't really that complicated. A replacement part could easily be 3d printed in a pinch.
I tried to reuse the Tippmann detent myself, but found it wasn't quite shaped right. I think their shape is more geared toward their crappy monkey-metal based production process.
Angel detents are problematic to say the least. You know why rebulidable Angel threaded detents are so readily available?
Because so many of them need to be "rebuilt".
"Accuracy by aiming."
Definitely not on the A-Team.
