Thanks bigj, you just made me fell like an ass, just kidding, , only reason I got the gas piston was that I lost the one that came with the gun. I was not really wanting to change mags, thought about going to a 5 rounder, but you can get 30 rounders for the same amount. I think on it a little more, and get my loads worked up on ML. I think I will add a basic recoil pad to add an inch of lengh to it ($13 investment) so I can use 3 - 5.5 on my 3-9x40 scope I have on it right now.

started thinking, which is dangerest to begain with, if I replace the mag, remove the usa piston with chinese that I found 2 weeks after I lost it. stock (3) + mag (2) would give me what I need to be 922r. until the demarats take over start banning everything again. or just save my money for a new shot gun or the yugo I was looking at
