...namely the Barrett Rec 7 gen 2 and the LMT CQBPS16. I know a lot of guys here feel a certain way about piston AR's vs. DI but that's not the point...I'm mainly curious in learning how these two in particular stack up against other piston systems like the HK416/MR556, PWS, POF, LWRC, and other high end AR's.

Prices have come down on them quite a bit recently and both can be found in the $1400-$1600 range if you look hard enough, and I was interested in learning more about how they stack up to other piston guns. Both seem to be well designed short stroke systems and of high quality, but there's not a ton of info out there on them.
