Title: Steel barrel rings
Post by: Mike Lenz on April 05, 2016, 02:12:37 PM
Will a steel barrel piston work in the alloy cylinder.  the piston looks to have aluminum rings, or they are just that color?  were those pistons and rings ok?

Hi Mike,

   I have no first hand experience with your situation/question. But, I do have some OEM pistons of various sizes for the alloy cylinders sitting in a drawer. I would be glad to try to help you if you care to go this route.

Was that a steel barrel piston you ran in your 100 alloy cylinder?
