Default OK to reuse forged mahle pistons?

Would it be ok to re-use my mahle pistons in another motor build (5.3 stroker)? They have a little wear on the skirts. I know you're not supposed to re-use the stockers, but couldn't really find anything on the forged.

Haven't seen you on here in awhile Mark. But yes, I agree with you on this to, along with a new set of spirolocks for the wrist pins if bushed con rods are being used.
