Like another posted commented; if you're going piston why not go with more established manufacturer like LWRC or PWS?
How come nobody has mentioned LMT's piston uppers and rifles?
While the market is tough and though I claim not the expert on ARs "I should be I bought my first Colt Ar in the 1970s" From use and experience if you buy a BCM product, Colt or Daniel Defense you will be satisfied. They are proven to stand up to hard useage.
Evening guys, I wanted to update everyone who contributed here. So I'm fairly new to the site and my thread started off a little bumpy, no hard feelings though. I purchased a Daniel Defense M4V5 and made the choice based on my research and feedback from people with more knowledge than me.
I had been doing countless hours of googling before even posting here and I'm also very glad I did post. Fellow members sent me some informative PM's and great posts within to help me make an educated decision.
Both rifles were available to me at a local shop, straight up msrp. My usage will always allow me to clean the gun throughouly after each session at range or class. This decreased the AA appeal as the added cost for BCG cleanliness wasn't going to benefit me much. I also googled both DD and AA for their company information as a whole, who will be a safer bet for long term support. Daniel Defense generated some 35+ million in sales for 11' and Adams Arms did under 1 million from what I read.
I also called both companies and spoke to a DD rep right away, two days have gone by without a return call from Adams. Wasn't a big issue but they lost a sale. I'm pleased with the quality, after holding both there was noticable play from the Adams upper and lower..none in the DD.
I also feel that down the road if I ever wanted to sell the Daniel Defense would be much easier to move.
Thank you for reading the long winded post, I'm super excited and now I need to learn how to properly use the new tool I have.
I would love to post pictures if anyone wants to help PM me email address and I'll send them to you!
Best,

Oh well, you already got the DD so I'm late. I'm sure your rifle will work out fine. For anyone else reading thsi post later with the same question, here was my reply to the piston gun question.
Stag arms offers a piston gun. They use mil spec parts (they supply many of the parts for other manufacturers already, the parts just don't happen to have "STAG" stamped on them).
This rifle was designed as a piston gun and not simply a DI gun modified with the Adams arms kit. The most important thing: LIFETIME WARRANTY. They do honor it i am told, too. Does the Adams arms or even the DD have a lifetime warranty? They build em like they back em.
