I thought I remembered someone stating that they use a magnet to take the piston out. Anyone here doing that?
I honesdtly use a boresnake to clean my SCAR barrel. So, I only assemble the cleaning rod to knock the piston out. And, I always have to look for it, as it doesn't fit in my normal cleaning kit gear.
A magnet would be much easier. I assume that just the occassional use of the magnet wouldn't magnetize the piston over time, would it? I have heard of metal slowly becoming slightly magnetic when left on a magnet for a while.
