Along with what JohnQ said.
The roller cam pin is supposed to give a bit smother function for piston set ups. I needed cam pins so I figured why not try roller.

The bolt spring should also help insure the bolt fully extened in the carrier allowing the bolt lugs to enter the extention cleanly. Also helps with assembly since the bolt is fully extended and not flopping back and forth... you do need to press the back of the carrier forward to close the upper with the bolt spring in place.

Curiosity....
Anyone try one of those forced reset triggers with one of these kits??

Shooting suppressed FRT mode is why I bought my kits. Both function just fine in quiet fauxauto.

Yep, mine runs fine.

I had a SA adjustable gas block before and it ran fine on forced reset.
I swapped in the gas piston kit and once tuned, it runs fine too.
No real noticeable difference in how it feels.

Only thing I had to do, was run restrict mode.
I first tried bleed off mode but it was unreliable. Once I switched to restrict mode it became reliable again.
I had my old adjustable gas block in restrict mode too and had no issues. I just wanted to try bleed off and was disappointed.

Thanks for the replies. Guess I'll be getting one then.
Now if only I could get my kit to function with 300 blackout.......

Wierd. I set both of mine up in bleed off, no issues so far. I didnt even try restricted mode with either. My biggest goal for going piston was gas mitigation, I'd rather vent as much as possible at the front of the gun rather than have it coming back thru the chamber.

I'm going to try kynshot's 5007 9mm buffer in one or maybe both this week weather permitting. Have the buffers, A5 RE's and FW springs delivering today. Smoother recoil impluse and slower cycle rate are my goals. Hopefully I still have enough adjustment to stay in bleed off with the increase in buffer mass.

So I went out this morning with my 16" rifle and suppressor with the FRT on it to try out.....ran flawlessly.
This is going to get painful for my wallet
