Solved my issues! Would buy again.
by Rocketeer -
I very rarely receive anything, but this makes me happy. Let me start by saying that I have a C39v2 that was way over gassed. The rifle was ejecting casings 25-30ft away from me and the carrier and bolt were taking a beating after just 120 rounds. I am now using a 1960 Polish milled carrier, with a 1960 Polish milled telescopic recoil spring assembly.
I must say, I am very pleased with the results. For my situation, I had to turn the gas collar about 26 clicks from close, give or take a couple. My rifle now ejects spent casings 5-6 feet away and cycles like a dream.
The hype is real and you get the bang for your buck

I've read many reviews and so many videos about this product and was a bit skeptical. I didn't believe that it would change the world but not underperformed since it was from a reputable company
Boy was I surprised. The installation was straightforward and easy and arrange trip and suit soon afterwards. The kns piston perform as advertised. It's moved out the recoil pattern and kept my ejection pattern at the two o clock position. My akm feels like a 20in barrel AR when I shoot it now. Combining it with the bd2 brake makes it feels amazing and is an eye catcher on the Range. People are amazed when they see it in action but are Starstruck when they shoot it. If you have to make a modification to your AK I advise this piston right here.
Get this for your AK Yesterday
by Seth
This is by far one of the best things to get to improve your AK platform weapon system. This is by far easier to install than an adjustable gas block and front sight combo. Simple to use and tune to your rifle once you get to the range. Personal recommendation is to scribe the amount of clicks you use on the weapon system in some way or put some sort of note in the pistol grip on where your settings are as a CYA insurance.
A must for suppressed AK's

If you're shooting your AK suppressed, do yourself a favor and put an adjustable piston in. Night and day difference in recoil impulse and slows down bolt speed so you're not beating your rifle up.
Outstanding upgrade
by Daves7.62x51
Installed per instructions. Adjusted per instructions. Ejection distance is about three feet, 4 o'clock, and consistent. Reduces bolt carrier velocity so it does not slam into the rear of the receiver as hard, therefor reducing recoil significantly. Combined with a VG6 brake, rapid fire groups and splits between shots are terrific. I only have about 700 rds through the rifle after install. I'd like to read a review about higher round counts to demonstrate longevity. But so far It was worth every penny.
Great option
by Tyler Tran -
I was building out my AK (WASR-10) to be suppressed and improve the ergonomics. This was a solid option for mitigating a lot of the felt recoil from suppressor use. This will save your AK in the long run in terms of parts wear. Install was generally specific. Drill a hole where the roll pin is that keeps your current piston in place with the bolt assembly. Hammer it out with a punch and then reverse order for this KNS piston. As for shooting, I put about 200 rounds through it for ensured reliability and obviously adjusting. Adjust period was easy, open the adjuster all the way so it doesn’t cycle when ran. Make a few adjustment clicks and see if it cycles. Repeat to the setting that you like most. After that your AK will feel like a whole different rifle and it doesn’t feel like you’re shooting 7.62. Worth the money.
Best AK mod
by Mark -
Great product. Easy install and does what it is supposed to. I will put one of these on all my shooter AKs.
Great way to tune a AK
by D762 -
It does what it says it will do. Installation was a breeze but then again I have callouses on my hands. I have several of these so I opened her up 10 clicks. 2 shots 15-18 feet away. 10 more clicks (20total) 2 more shots brass started to get closer. 10 more clicks (30now) 1 shot FTF 1 shot FTE. Closed her up 5 clicks (25total) 2 shots brass 3-4 feet away. 2 more shots same 3-4 feet away. Finished off the mag and had a nice pile 3-4 feet away. Nobody likes an over gassed AK and nobody likes to pay high prices to make it right. Thanks for the sale PA.
Works for WASR 10

love how much this reduces felt recoil and doesn't launch my steel into the stratosphere. definitely a need for suppressed AKs
