M1014 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 pretty narrow minded that if it breaks the gun,,ooohhhh just buy another one..you'll be lucky if its just the gun,,I heard someone say,,oohhhh we are adults now,,,wake up,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centauro97 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 What force vector caused that fracture? Was it a bending force? Or did it get stepped on while out of the shotgun for cleaning? I've been using Made-in-USA pistons in my FALs. It's an axial load and they're handing in there, so not sure why not in the M4. I'm guessing the notches in the "rings" are for the magnum loads? Thanks for providing an option for those of us who don't want our name on the legal "test case". C97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for providing an option for those of us who don't want our name on the legal "test case". C97 The piston failed within 50 rounds on a brand new 11703 which had the 4 port barrel. Even though the piston has a straight blow back design that is partially cushioned by the bolt carrier, the pistons bottom out against the stops on the barrel. These stops only impact on one side of the piston. If we could watch the action of the piston in slow motion, my assumption is that the piston reverberates after bottoming out. Signs of this can be seen in the wear patterns inside the receiver. Primary blame would probably lie with the heat treatment. From the piston photo, you can see how rough and brittle it appears to be. There appear to be fractures all along the shaft of the piston. After the piston was replaced, I fed the same barrel 10,000 rounds of a similar diet of ammunition until it beat my bolt carrier like an Irish wife and deformed the guide rails to the point that the bolt carrier would bind when retracted to the rear of the receiver. They did a great job on the piston. If it can handle that and not snap in these conditions, a properly heat treated unit should last nearly forever. I cried to Benelli USA, and they replaced my barrel with an 11707 2 port unit, bolt carrier group, handguards, ARGO system, pistons, Choke and front Sling mount... I tried to get them to simply replace the entire weapon in hopes to get an 11707 receiver, but they declined. Either way, I was happy with the work they did.
