I think it was sarcasm, like everyone and their mama is making a AR-15 piston and DI variant now days.

I think they missed the piston craze by about a year.....
Back on topic, is the chamber separate from the barrel assembly?
I would guess not. At first glance, the barrel from that puppy appears to be the same (or at least, the same design) as the one in the AUG.
If that's what they've done, then the interest should be on the barrel and the mods, not if it has a piston, dissipates heat, or other whatever else.
Maybe they are positioning themselves for some kind of quick-change-barrel LMG future.
Quick change barrels are pretty pointless. If you are using your AR-15 as a LMG your doing something wrong. Not to mention all quick change barrekls have some form of POI shift which is not wanted on a carbine.
For repair it may be a bit faster but changing the barrel on AR-15 is pretty easy as is.
I have been but I've must have misread LWRCs site. I've already checked out the major manufacturers that I am familiar with. If LWRC does sell gas piston SBRs can you please point me in the right direction, instead of typing in a pointless non-helpful comment like a child on Youtube... Thank you.
