Did we ever get anywhere with these ?

Hi all, is anyone making/supplying a flat top piston, o ring conversion for a medallist 1300?
Mine has recently returned to me in a sorry state and i'd like to get it shooting again.
Many thanks

If I was trying to fit a flat top O ringed piston to a 1300 I'd be looking at shortening a custom flat top piston designed to fit a 1322/1377.

Without stripping one of my 1300s I couldn't say for sure how much you'd need to shorten a 1322/1377 piston or if this is even a viable option, but it should be doable.

The other option is to alter the original piston to take an O ring.

Cheers for the reply Mick, i was hoping to find a part ready to fit really, not having a lot of spare time,

May have to drop in to gunshop and treat myself to a new pistol ( first one for 45 years)

I actually measured the 1300 and 1322 Pistons this afternoon as I realised that you can do it without stripping the gun, the 1300 piston is 47mm long, and the 1322 is 70mm long.
So you need to find a flat top 1322 piston that can be shortened by 23mm, I did have some Krusty's Kustoms flat top Pistons I was going to measure for you but they seem to have vanished from my spares box.

What I did find though is that I'd already machined a brass O ring piston head for my 1300. :-

i make them from time to time more to order really and used to convert original heads but it's as easy to make a new head i still do 13xx ones as well
