Mak90 gas piston

[Guest page90lx]

I cant seem to figure out how to remove the piston from the bolt carrier, there is supposed to be a pin to remove and screw the piston out but I have no pin, no hole for a pin, and the piston will not budge,but it does wiggle slightly ,It feels like it has a somthing holding (a pin maybe?), But I cant figure out how to get to it. any help would be appreciated

There has got to be a pin. My Mac90 has a pin. Its very flush and painted over. Scrape some of the finish off and see if its hiding.

Oh, and wiggle is good on a gas piston. Can't you find another easier compliance part(I assume you are converting the stock and such).

Good luck,

I will look again when I get home in the morning but no acutally it is pitted ( Im cleaning it up just bought it) and I could not polish it out and was considering replacing it. But now, Its a challenge.
