Is your return belt damaged or stretched? part#26 I'm just wondering how that would happen to the piston ring unless it was being pulled back too far(all the way out) of the cylinder.Then catching the edge of the cylinder as it goes forward.I'm pretty sure that is what the belt is for to keep that piston from pulling all the way out of the cylinder. (my 2 cents)
Thanks guys.

I've been hearing hearing things about replacing it with the stock piston rather than the Cradle piston - vice verser. It feels like there are two options to consider. Is there a reason behind that? I ask because I thought I would be replacing the stock piston but I've stripped it on the sides while trying to place my pliers to remove it.

Also, my first picture shows the cylinder having a piece snapped off. Will I need to replace that too?

Part #26 looks alright. I had issues when I received the gun so I assume it was already damaged in a way where it would create more damages.
