toothandnail 275 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 We will have our new gas piston up on our site soon, it comes WITH the piston ring. OH, and before anybody starts crying "COPY CAT" it IS, round , stainless, has a gas ring, fits in the barrel lug , and contacts the drive block to cycle the action guess we're not smart enough to make it work any other way, SORRY Another copy , this one is unfinished, those barrel nut threads are some FUNKY threads , we like to never got them figured out. Right now we just have a replacement for the XN rod, full length and shorty. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stripesdude 0 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'll be placing my order soon. Very impressed with your company's ability to come to market so quickly, and what seems like ample quantities. Any improvements made over the stock unit (piston)? I sure hope no one claims to have a US patent on a "circle", because I see a few of those in this product, and they may cry "copycat". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jgillaspy 24 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Very nice. You guys are gonna be a one-stop-shop shortly... Do you have the full FCG yet? jgillaspy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KIRCH76 12 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Does the guide rod come with a new nut??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snwbrdrcr 17 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Oh, I see what you did there with the op rod, a slot to insert a tool to help with the removal of the rod. Bravo! How about changing the threads on the end then engineering a new improved end nut. I'd be in for that! Edited May 21, 2013 by snwbrdrcr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AR-12 Shotgun 16 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I could be wrong and should prolly let T&N speak for themselves, but that looks like a different thread than the stock guide rod nut has. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks , we try , 5-6 workers, 10+ hours a day , 6.5 days a week piston is pretty close to factory Very nice. You guys are gonna be a one-stop-shop shortly... Do you have the full FCG yet? jgillaspy Yes, it is up on the site ready to go Does the guide rod come with a new nut??? YES ! ! , that was ONE of the reasons for making our own, 1/2 x13 Acorn nut(any 1/2 nut if you happen to loose one) Oh, I see what you did there with the op rod, a slot to insert a tool to help with the removal of the rod. Bravo! How about changing the threads on the end then engineering a new improved end nut. I'd be in for that! Actually that was the ORIGINAL, somehow we put the wrench flats on the wrong end They should have been, and are now , close to the receiver, that's too long a rod to transmit the torque through for tightening/loosening. As above, 1/2 x 13 GOOD OL AMERICAN thread pitch , we would have liked to change the barrel nuts as well, but getting that gas spring retaining nut made would have been expensive, if we could find something already in production that had COMMON thread pitch it won't be hard to change our program, which I would love to do. Here's a couple pic of a shorty rod, piston, drive block Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ispayboy 3 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Are you also going to make the shorty guide rod for the original ones beside the xn's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OFCOURSE I NEED THE NON-XN ALSO I WOULD LIKE MY GUIDE ROD CHROMED OUT IS THAT POSSIBLE??? OR JUST LEAVE IT BARE AND ILL BUFF IT TO CHROME... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steveUK 9 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Great products as ever, when the non XN are available I will take both the gas piston and guide rods. I assume it will run smoother. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toothandnail 275 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 XN's have a reverse thread lock nut where the non-XN's have a right hand thread lock nut. We are going to get the XN guide rods going and stocked up before we begin running the non-XN's. Both will be available in shorty and standard length. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why don’t you tell us about professionalism, maturity and class, again…because I’m getting confused. Taking the highroad doesn’t include “goading”! If that was an attempt at humor, it was a piss poor job (the way this forum has been trending). Rather, it has a tendency to show true colors. Btw, nice looking parts.

We don't do chrome, and I'm not sure if just polishing the rod will hold up without anodizing, or some other hard finish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KIRCH76 12 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) I polished up my factory rod and it looks mirror finished. I just hate the factory nut and the bend in the rod from the factory Edited May 23, 2013 by KIRCH76 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I assume it will run smoother. Hi SteveUK.It's great to hear from a UK MKA owner. You may already know this: These parts may or may not smooth our shotguns. (No claim was made at least, correct me if I'm wrong) US regulations require a foreign firearm to have a certain number of US parts before we can have high capacity magazines (ten or more for shotguns) a pistol grip, flash suppressor's, bayonet lugs and folding and/or adjustable butt stocks. It's a Federal thing known as 922r. So, some parts, like the gas piston are easily changed for domestic parts, only to comply with the 922r regulation.
