Installed alluminum full steel teeth piston. Been experementing with many diferent types of hop-up rubbers, came to conclusion what CA basic hop up rubber is the best for my set up. Hard type wasnt feeding ammo corectly, soft type aint good for 170 fps, so usual basic CA hop up rubber was just right. Tommorow is a BIG game, and my rifle will have to come thrue a serious endurance test. Will report about this later.

Piston was succesefully eaten. Bought alluminum one for replacement.
