Arsenal Gas Piston

[Ovechtrick]

I recently purchased an Arsenal SGL-21 and have put maybe 300 rounds through it. I have just noticed that the gas piston is a little bit loose from where it is attached to the bolt carrier. I do not remember if it has always been like this or if it has just become loose (it’s not something I paid much attention to). I tried to screw it in tighter by hand and it did not budge, so before I go to more drastic measures like putting it in a vice, I thought I would ask: Has this happened to anyone else? Or is there supposed to be a little bit of play between these two parts?

Its normal and supposed to be that way.

If it bothers you alot the piston can be inutized to the carrier but its not necessary.
