If you're interested in purchasing the better quality red ones (compared to Area1000), just make sure you ask your retailer which one they have. If they have no idea what you're talking about, don't shop from them.
I have the new ones for sale. I have one of the old ones in my possession, but it's not for sale.
For reference, the "problem" with it wasn't a fault at all, and was a built-in "feature". Installers using improper spring/pistonhead combinations with this old piston ended up killing their gears/pistons and pointed fingers at Systema. As a result, a "dumbed down" version was made to reduce failure. I've yet to have any failures with this old piston and it's been 4 years.
But regardless, I won't carry the old ones either because I don't want to take blame either. I've confirmed that all of the pistons I have for sale are the new variety and I've confirmed this with all of my distributors. At least within this circle, they're clean.
It's easy to spot the old piston from the new piston.
