    I had a midlength Adams arms upper for awhile. It was top notch ,great customer service, and totally reliable for me. That being said it was heavier, recoil difference was negligible for me. But I did go back to DI If you do go piston at least go with Adams arms.

    It was the employee discount that I took advantage of. All of their products are 50% off msrp. It was rifles and pistols, but just pistols now. My employees friend was fired, so I'm seeking a new in so I can get an x5.

    I don't remember what the short cuts on that gun were specifically. I was talking on the phone with an "industry professional" and really didn't pay close attention to his concerns with the gun as there's no chance I'd buy one. I may be mistaken.... There was actually another AR we were talking about too.

    (I edited my post since I'm not sure the guns we were talking about were Sig or not.)

    Second to my Hk, my Sig 516 Patrol is my next choice for rifles. The only upgrade it has is a Geissele SD-3G trigger. I have only put 3,000-3,200 rounds through it but it has yet to stop for anything. It shoots a Suppressor as good as the Hk. It is actually an almost exact copy of an LWRC, so much that Sig were sued and lost. For the $1100 it cost, it has proved its metal. I understand that ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain. Especially with a series of back operations and injections under my belt, but while training with it I do not notice the weight difference in the Sig and my DD.

    If the gun runs, that would be PROOF that it isn't a rip off of LWRCi.

    LOL, I've had good luck with the older LWRC's. But that is where my experience ends with LWRC. I know they were bought by Colt, or were supposed to be anyhow. Sig had to make slight modifications to their design, mainly at tweek of the gas system. I have heard of Sig 516 issues, but yet to see one in person. But like all issues, the bad spreads like Poison Ivy and the good is lost in the chatter.

    We all forget what body part our opinions are most like..... I don't blame someone if they ask me for advice and don't take it, I am just glad they at least asked advice before jumping in. Before I dove into the piston AR genre, I read almost every post Mr.Vickers posted about the Hk, and I decided to go that direction.

    I'll second the weight's negligible effect on me as well. If it's not substantially more front heavy, like my 870 or my god brother's Lee Enfield, then I don't feel the difference either. Also a gun that works is a gun that works. I'll never be able to get behind the hate towards working piston guns but that Osprey, CMMG, Bushmaster crap will be forever banned from my arsenal.
