Romanian gas piston

chainmailleman · 02-21-2008, 04:03 PM

So I found out what was wrong with my Romanian. My gas block and gas piston are not sized together. I need a bigger piston. The tech at Century Arms told me to find a gas piston .050 bigger than what it is. I don't have any dial calipers so I am clueless on what the size of the piston is. Century Arms won't take it back because I straightened the gas block and polished the hammer surface. Does anyone know where I can get a piston oversized .050 or somewhere around there?

Not sure where you can get one, but you can get an inexpensive digital caliper from Harbor Freight: Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices

It's even on sale right now!
