We installed the systems and ran them on full auto (many, many mags), suppressed and unsuppressed and it has yet to malfunction.

the shop PWS guns are all running like raped apes.....and we dont baby them. we take them out every time with a case of ammo and ill intentioned hearts. try as we may, we cannot break them, or get them to choke.

my own personal PWS sbr is flawless also.

this is a pic i took of ron attempting to beat the PWS into submission with FA mag dumps.

i DONT work for henderson defense, but Ron DOES allow me to try to break all of his product....which is always fun, cause he brings the ammo.

Been reading about PWS Piston System and I'm contemplating it were I to do so. But since I don't have/do FA|Suppressed|SBR. . .

I've been happy with my 10.5-inch LWRC upper. The only issues I've ever had is an FTE whenever I run it dry (I've been spoiled by my Glocks

). In fact, I'm trying to figure out just how I can take one with me for use at the sandbox if I do mobilize next year (which i the curret plan). YMMV.

the piston uppers should work well with the short barrels and can solve some port and dwell time problems.

i am thinking about building a one off piston upper in 7.62x39 just for the hell of it.

If you are not doing any of those three things, then buy an AR with a middy gas system as these are VERY reliable.

If you are set on a piston, wait for the new ACR to come out.

and yes try a middy mine has not let me down yet.. never had a prob once and I have had it about 6 months now and have put about 3000 rounds on it.. and it feels smoother then a Car gas system.

Waiting on my LMT piston...ordered/paid first of Feb so should be here next week or so...we'll see. I'm really curious that since LMT is supposedly releasing it (or shipping the end of the month), why I haven't seen it in the gun magazines? Usually, manufacturers show their 'new releases' a couple months early in the magazines to get the publics fervor up if you know what I mean...

Just curious. I would think that they have really been wringing out any and all bugs that might have cropped up as they supposedly have been testing this for over a year, more likely two years!!!
