Yep, exactly.

Hard to say. Your images are crap - I can't tell the fine detail. Sorry for the bluntness, but I think you're aware of what I'm saying. LOL. Best way to really tell, is to take it out, and look at it. It *should* be a smooth and concentric ring. From your blurry pictures, the ring does look wavy, so I'm sure that's where Renegade) is drawing his conclusion from, to replace it.
That area is somewhat partially responsible for holding the BB in place. It does about 20% of the job. Having the hop up engaged will actually do the other 80% of the job, which is why I said to just turn your hop up on. The hop up mound is generally what's used to retain the BB. Nine Ball adds that extra flange for an improved air seal between nozzle and barrel. It's to improve power output and gas efficiency. You shouldn't have BB roll out issues like you're experiencing because that torn flange. For what it's worth, the original Tokyo Marui hop up rubber doesn't have that flange, and it does a fairly decent job of holding the BB in place. Thus, that torn flange shouldn't be the sole cause of BB roll outs.
Again, it's generally caused by:
1) Your hop up being OFF (turn it ON to fix the problem)
2) Too much lubricant on the hop up, prevent it from providing enough friction to hold the BB in place.
There are extraneous reasons that can cause this problem as well, but it's very rare to see them in the 226 series.
