Page 2 of 11 Candidate 1: ICS Aluminum Piston
ICS produces a full aluminum piston under their "Sure Power" series. The piston is gloss black and looks to be a direct copy of the stock Tokyo Marui design but with additional reinforcement material added to the sides of the first piston tooth. The black gloss appears to be paint and is relatively easy to remove.
Piston: ICS Aluminum Piston Weight: 0.8oz Piston Material: aluminum Metal Teeth: all Average Barcol Hardness (piston/main teeth): 75.0 Average Barcol Hardness (tooth insert): 86.6 Tapered Lip: No Distinguishing Feature: gloss black body
