Quick question. Didn't want to start a new thread being this sub forum doesn't get much traffic. I got a piece of paper with the manual saying I would have a gold piston with a gold rim.. I did get a gold piston but it has a black rim. Any ideas ????

That's the heavy load piston. If you bought it new, you are may have gotten one that was supposed to have 2 Pistons. A heavy and a light. The light one has a red rim. If it came with the manual add-on page that talks about the gold piston, the factory, made an error. If it's used, the previous owner shorted you a piston.

I'd call FN and tell them up you got. Like I said, black rim is the heavy load piston. Red is light load and the gold is the single piston option. I got the gold with mine. But I went and purchased a sporting clay light piston. My sporting clay light has a gold keeper, but the spring is marked with a different paint color then the one that came with the gun.

FN may have an explanation for you. Or they just may send you a gold keeper piston.
