- description
A full metal rack puts steel on every tooth, which is what a heavy spring needs if the piston is going to survive more than a season.
This is the plain version of that idea. A solid polymer body, no lightening, and fifteen metal teeth doing the work.
The solid body makes it the more predictable of the two full-rack options, and the one to reach for when durability matters more than outright speed.

Good to know before you buy
Heavier than a lightened piston, and more durable for it. Pick by which of the two your build needs.
Frequently asked questions
How does this differ from the swiss cheese version?
The body is solid rather than lightened, so it weighs more and is the sturdier of the two. Both carry a full metal rack.
Is a full metal rack always better?
No. It is stronger, but the extra weight is a real cost on a gearbox built for a high rate of fire.
Will it fit my gearbox?
It uses the common AEG piston form, so it suits most standard builds. Compare it against the piston you removed if the gun is unusual.
