How do I change over my Albion bulk gun to sausage dispenser(or vice versa)?
The primary difference between bulk and sausage guns are the piston assemblies inside the barrel. Changing the pistons requires just a wrench and the new piston assembly.

Teflon is unique in that it can be used for BOTH bulk and sausage. These are best replaced as kits (includes washers, pistons & nuts). For a complete discussion of all our pistons and their intended uses look at the other FAQ on that subject. Remove the front cap of the gun. Push the rod all the way forward in the gun so the piston assembly is at the end of the barrel. Use a wrench to remove the nuts (and conical ejector, if so equipped) on the end of the rod. Remove the old washers and pistons and replace with the new ones. Pay special attention to the order of the parts and the direction the pistons face. A clean barrel is key to successful sausage dispensing. If t
