Just FYI, the lithium in the chamber is the DIRECT cause of so many CA piston failures. It happens with G&G guns as well. Lithium will gum up and eventually offer so much resistance to piston movement that the sector gear will just chew right through the piston's teeth. I've seen it with CA M249, and many G&G guns.

When you go to install the new FTK, you can get CA cylinder grease from A&A for about $10. It looks like a silicone composition, pity they don't actually use it in their guns.
