I have only owned my AK for a few months. Last nite I was tearing it apart for cleaning and ran into a problem. How do you get the gas piston off of the bolt carrier? I tried twisting it both ways, but it would not come out. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks for any help! (and any smart-ass cut-downs!)

It is pinned into place. You don't really take it off unless you're replacing it.
