I’m going plum with her. Don’t have all the furniture in yet. But I installed an Manicore Night Break. I put in an ALG trigger . It’s light and smooth. Verdict still out till I shoot it. I put in a ALG recoil spring.  It was due.  Last but not least I put a KNS adjustable gas piston on it.  It was actually simple to do with the correct tools. Spring loaded punch and small drill bits. Good punches.  I got lucky and hit and drilled nothing but pin. Yea me. Here’s some pics. Sharing is Caring. WarDawg Attached File

The supplied roll pin needs to be longer. I’ll get one from work.

That’s cool.
She should be softer shooting after that install.
I wish I’d bought a 106 when they were around. I’ll probably pull the trigger when they come back.

Are you going to run a suppressor?

Awesome, I changed the similar parts in my new zpap. I shot it will everything installed but the piston so far. let us know how it shoots.

No.  I know AK’s are heavily gassed. But the spent cases was launching big time.

Keep the pin supplied by KNS. Don't change it for a longer one. Your short pin is ok. I doesn't protrude and it prevents your piston from spinning out of the carrier. I have mine installed this way for a year and half, and after 1500 rounds it works very fine. Just put a little spray of high temperature black paint on the drilled hole and forget it.
And if you want a can, it works very well with concentric barrel., It shoots perfectly with my military M92 with KNS piston. It was so overgassed, that I could open the piston for 11 clics to shoot with suppressor. In my opinion KNS piston is a game changer. My M92 7.62 rifle shoots now like an ar15. No recoil at all when used with can, brass don't fly  so you can reload it. Just check your rifle's barrel thread for concentricity.

Thanks for the paint idea.  Ill do just that. Cheers WarDawg
