Looks wicked Coach.....

Someone told me that stock AK pistons were built in mud huts and Arsenal pistons were built in official mud hut factories....???? :llama:

Really, I've never owned an AK for more than a week or two and definitely never built one or had one apart....just curious....

Looks good.

I know someone already asked but what's the main advantage of running a arsenal piston?

The aresenal stuff is good to go, so I figured it couldn't hurt, that, and I had never take a piston off the bolt before so I wanted the experience of doing that and replacing it. The Cugir piston goes in my box and is a good spare part of for some reason it braks. Is there a huge advantage TI the aresenal piston? No. It's better fit and quality, but no huge differance. Makes the gun all the more 922 compliant though. And piece by piece I want this ak to be a beast.
Does the piston alone count as a 922 compliance part? That would be awfully handy.
