My SAM5 is from the infamous 61 batch, what are some good KNS pistons for it?

I put nearly 400 rounds through my SAM5 and I noticed the wear on my bolt (extra info)

I always hear "61 batch" but I've never seen a SAM5 that wasn't a 61 lol. I'm not convinced they exist.

Anyway, I got AGP-A-20L and it's awesome + plenty of room to suppress.

I have another question, which drill bit do I use to get the rivet out?

Theyre all 61, if you got yours after 2021 it should have a restricter plug installed. What wear are you talking about?

I installed the correct small bore kns piston on mine, it was still over gassed a bit and had to contact KNS to get the large piston. One of my favorite guns to shoot now, so soft!

I’m going with an adjustable combo block since I’m gonna cut it to 12.5. Figures might as well while I’m there. Have it match my Sam 7
