    Even now its really tough to get parts for a DI ar15, it will be until the market stabilizes wouldn't you agree?

    Spare us your rationalizing and just buy the damned piston since your mind was made up before this thread was started.

    Hey pal,

    Why take the time to post in a thread annoyed? My mind isn't made up which is why I'm posting here. Its my hard earned money and I can make an educated decision after I feel comfortable. I'm not going to drink the cool-aid just because someone says "do this because we said".

    Either way I'm finished with this thread and I wont be posting further, I see its upset a few guys and that wasn't my intention to start.

    I never wanted a piston, then I read the HK 416 user thread on here and it made me reconsider.

    Don't let the door hit you on the way out?

    Few points:

    1) Nobody is upset. You're not that cool to make anybody here butthurt.

    2) You're absolutely right, it's your hard-earned money. Do the American thing and spend it freely how you choose.

    3) If you come to this site, asking for an objective comparison between one Daniel Defense and one Adams Arms product, you will receive objective advice/reasoning/facts. This is the main draw for M4Carbine.net and the key differentiation versus other discussion forums. There's no magical "vibe", or "kool-aid", like you seem to believe. Fact: A Daniel Defense rifle will outperform and outlast the Adams Arms counterpart, and should the need ever arise, spare parts will be far easier to source for it.

    Because you're in our yard being annoying, telling folks their hard won experience and knowledge comes from a pitcher of Kool-Aid.

    So here's a free fish from the Big Bad Wolf- The Adams Arms upper ain't got nothing the legacy AR upper ain't got except an op-rod. It don't do nothing the legacy upper don't do except maybe dump it's dirt in another location. It ain't cleaner, more reliable, more durable or run cooler. The only thing it does better is suck more money out of your pocket because it costs more.

    Critical Thinking Time-
    1) An op-rod upper does nothing better than the legacy system
    2) An op-rod upper costs more than the legacy system
    Ergo, the legacy system is a better value

    I'll give you a couple other gifts. First, a fishing pole which, in this case, is a search engine. Second is the bait. Stoner Patent #2,951,424. It's just a small worm, and will catch you a small fish, but it should help feed you as you take your first step on a journey to learn how the AR actually works and not simply regurgitate what you've been spoon fed on the internet.

    Use these gifts wisely, grasshopper

    Well, to be honest, the OP was bashed before having shown any attitude himself. The cool-aid comment was only part of his very last post. The forum members pride themselves on the professionalism of the board; the tone in ^Rb's last posts in this thread does not reflect that.

    The OP asked some questions and follow-up questions based on his experience level, and some of the posts directed at him were far from helpful. If anything, the so-called "annoying" behavior of the OP is a result of him being antagonized by other posters.

    And although listening to experience is good advice, I agree with the OP that one should not just take something at face value just because someone says it is so. Doing research is important.

    There is a lot of subjective conjecture in this thread, as opposed to objective and factual data.

    The new kid is back...Alright Mistwolf and Rb, the last two responses are appreciated as I just wanted some of your feedback to start with. Either of these guns will cost me +- 2k after mags and optic ect, with the piston system costing a even more.

    I was on here trying to see how that was justified and a general consesus it seems as though it may be wasteful to many m4carbine members to run the piston.

    So, not tring to be annoying or slam anyone. I'll continue to research read up on the tips given to me.

    Best,
    iflylo

    I give you props for not letting us run you off and kudos for accepting the research assignment. Sometimes it's rough when you're the new kid.
