I'm looking to get a new piston and piston head for mine. The new TM one installed broke, so need a new one.
Any thoughts Stealth?
Depends on what your setup is exactly. Right now the Lonex POM piston head is probably the best piston head you can buy, period. It's not aluminum so it's easy on the mechbox, shaped very well and best of all it's light. Most of the techs on Airsoft Mechanics are currently running them.

As for pistons, it's a constant debate, but you have the choice of the SHS 14 tooth for something super light or the Lonex Extreme Toughness piston - been hearing a lot of good feedback on those so far. It's basically like a Supercore piston, but cheaper. Only limitation is that due to its design, it may not be compatible with all gearsets. The compatibility list is on the product listing. http://www.airsoftstore.ca/index.php...products_id=14

Another option are the new Madbull PX pistons. They're similar in construction as the SHS 15 tooth pistons, but the fact that you can buy replacement piston bodies for them for super cheap is a good sell.

The stock Marui pistons are pretty decent as well if you're not running a high FPS or high ROF setup (sub 330fps, sub 18 rps), otherwise they just get chewed up quickly.
