AA Piston Kit Bent Op Rod

[StealthESW]

Has anyone had to contact Adam's Arms for customer support? I recently purchased a conversion kit and it had a bent piston rod. It must be a rare issue, because I didn't find anyone else with this issue.

Is there a safe way to straighten the rod?

There is no reason to do anything but have them replace it, unless you bent it.

Took awhile to get a replacement, but i did get it. Just had to send in some pics of the bent rod. They had been busy and were dificult to get in contact with. Once I was able to get someone the part was replaced pretty quick. I got the part a couple months ago and got the rifle finished.

They didn't want the bent rod, so I still have it.
