On a new to me yugo SKS I'm cleaning, the gas piston slid right out. I cleaned the piston and the tube, now the piston doesn't want to go back in freely. I didn't drop it or bang it with anything. I'm at a total loss now. HELP

I then took some pretty worn out P220 sandpaper, scuffed it about 2 inches deep, now the piston falls right in. Thanks again, Joe
