The SilencerCo Piston, 5/8×24 (SilencerCo part no. AC30) is the part of the Nielsen device that moves and allows semi-automatic cycling on pistol barrels that unlock during firing. SilencerCo designed its pistons to be changed easily for different host firearms, and the female threads on the piston attach to the threaded muzzle of the host. This one is cut for 5/8×24 threads and is made from heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel. It pairs with SilencerCo pistol suppressors on semi-automatic pistols.
