Different Caber rings?

Wow , that is odd , I don't recall ever seeing black rings that are OEM Stihl .

When I was at Stihl dealers were allowed to return a certain number of parts each year depending on their sales (annual parts return) . Anyway I had to sort thru this stuff checking it and you wouldn't believe how many times I found AM parts subbed in the package including pistons and rings . I recall one return that was so bad I refused it and sent the whole mess back with a letter stating we don't accept junk .

I just picked up the set at the dealer today, should I be questioning the rings? The piston is clearly oem mahle. I guess I also made the assumption that stihl oem kit used caber, but maybe they do their own thing.

The black ones are F Cast Cabers. And, I prefer those.

MAW should be on the oem stihl rings from the last 10 pistons I got.

I'm sure Stihl has a few vendors they use for their rings. Who knows what they call them.

I use the Cabers in black, or silver. The black ones seem to make a better seal.
