Page 5 of 17 Candidate 4: Guarder Polycarbonate Piston
The literature included with the Guarder Polycarbonate Piston proudly proclaims in chinese "the strongest piston, usable up to M160". While these claims might be an exaggeration, Cursory examination of the piston reveals that it is well made, with almost no molding lines visible. The design is an almost an exact copy of the Marui stock piston, except for some additional reinforcment of the first tooth, and a tapered lip.
