The gas piston is pinned, look closely and yoy will see it. They are a little tricky to get out, you have to hit the pin very hard with a hammer and a punch. As a last resort you can drill the pin out if you can't beat it out.
Tom PS. no loctite on the threads it has to be a little loose. The pin will keep it from backing off |

Yes they are pinned and the pin is peened over on both sides. If you look closely you will be able to find it. You have to drill a little at the surface to remove the peened area then you can drive out the pin with a punch.

Spend the money on a drill press now or for a new piston and medical bills later. |
