Does anybody have any new or near new 87mm pistons to go with my new barrels. The ones I have got are a bit average.

I think 87 are 1640; 85.5 are stock 1600

Buy them anywhere... Forged or cast? Would you like fries with that?!

yep...there 1640...I have brand new barrels but the pistons are average.
Nobody, as I suspected, has pistons only. Have tried the all the sponsors to no avail.
Thought it would be a long shot.....has made my decision to use them easier though.

Average? as in, outside tolerance? New rings should do the job with new barrels (half the P&C wear will 'disappear' with new barrels) unless they are scuffed and stuffed...?
