I did adjust the piston to glide freely, I watched a video that described the issue of the lonex piston being a little too wide, however the rails were not the issue. The lower part of the rear of the piston (beside the rack/pickup tooth area) as it would bind against the shell, after that the piston would slide freely with the screws in and all.
And again, the 3rd tooth did not break, it was shaven by me. The fourth tooth broke and or the pickup tooth broke in the same instance. To me the damage (and how the lil bits of piston looked and where the gears where jammed) says the pic up failed but not quite and the seccond tooth grabbed on and also the 4 piston tooth made contact with the sector and the whole thing locked up.
Most of the reason being the lack on the third tooth that I shaved off like an idiot trying to correct an incorrectable aoe.
Gonna grab the wier and such and hopefully get it put together without the sorbo buddie and with only 2 teeth max shaved off and that should do it. Looking at it now I'm not sure how I didn't see that was going to be a problem before hand. Nor can I imagine how it lasted for the 1000 rounds or so of testing I put it through (no jams or miss feeds after I sorted the hop up out) guess those lonex pistons are tough as nails lol.

I know it looks like PE. The last gun I broke was exactly that, all the teeth in the middle of the piston were stripped off. And looking at the pic I posted it does look that way due to the razor blade removeal of the teeth the just looked chewed up lol.
But putting a sector gear with the piston and looking at how the teeth mesh you can easily see that the third tooth (3rd after the pic up) on the piston will bear almost the entire load (assuming the 1st and 2nd are shaved). Just as the 4th tooth starts to mesh up the pick up tooth is off of the sector gear.
