Not super cheap at $599 upper only with BCG and charging handle. However, it does has a milspec hammer-forged chrome-lined barrel and probably the most reliable piston system on an AR design.

It looks neat. Are these made to the same spec as the ones ROCA uses? What are the specs?

Most reliable, more so than HK's 416?

A Taiwanese Piston AR upper functioning reliably on a PSA full auto lower?! BLASPHEMOUS!!!

Should be guaranteed to shoot Wolf ammo... interesting to see how these play out, but am sticking with US made rifles with US made parts as long as I can get the quality I want.

Same thought crossed my mind regarding the Wolf ammo. Guess you could gave a Tiawanese upper to shoot your Tiawanese ammo. Have a beat to hell DPMS lower i might be able to talk myself into dropping one of these uppers on. Maybe. Otherwise my decent lowers are getting BCM, Colt, LMT, and the like.

From the 2 video clips out. They were using 55gr Wolf Gold brass case ammo made by the same arsenal that makes the upper.

So what makes it the most reliable piston design? The link jumps on my phone so I couldn't read it.

Its having been around for 40 years and their Army had supposedly solved all the problems we saw when mating a piston upper to an AR lower makes it the most reliable piston design, apparently.

I think they sold some of these to Jordan.

I'm interested to check one of these out.

The piston looks intriguing. A slightly slimmer, but not LW barrel profile would be more appealing, and I bet it would look better at 14.5". The FSB on these is a little different than the issued item, as it doesn't have the 6 O'clock 1913 rail or bayonet lug.

The price sounds good to me, especially with CG, BCG, and carry handle. I hope the carry handle is their own weird one and they bring in the freaky-deaky furniture as well.

Otherwise my decent lowers are getting BCM, Colt, LMT, and the like.

It's two pins, homey. Hammer time.
