I'm not sure I understand the point of this thread and the associated poll. It's purposely limited, suggesting that it doesn't matter as much what people really think as they choose the best of the options offered. On top of that, nothing positive can or will result from discussing this again.
Looks like just another Internet argument awaiting a lock.
Yup, looks like it's getting there already.
The whole beauty of owning firearms is owning one that is, in your own subjective opinion, good.
Clearly everyone's going to have a different opinion.
By the way... What's your favorite Pokemon? My Charizard can kick your stupid Blastoise's ass, he resists Bulbasaur way more than yours can.
As simple as that was, it's fairly close in analogy.
I like to dip my pen in different colors of ink, so to speak. It's not as if the DI system isn't reliable, in fact it's time tested to a much higher degree.
Mostly, though, I bought it for the modularity. Can't slap whatever stock/rail I want on a SCAR.

Complete and utter crap.
LWRC went proprietary because they thought they could coupled with the fact that Magpul couldn't make plastic mags for 6.8 in the standard dimensions of the AR mag well.
LWRC is greedy and thought magpul pmags would be their meal ticket.
Barret, Cproducts, ASC, PRI and I'm sure I've probably forgotten another one or two make metal 6.8 mags that fit and feed in standard AR platform lower mag wells just fine.

*SIGH*
Either you haven't been around many piston rifles or you simply don't understand the tech. Every piston rifle is amazing but the M4, with it's piston is not?
Piston location does not change how much carbon a fired cartridge produces, only where the carbon gets dumped. Move the piston from the carrier to the gas block and guess what?- Your piston is still exposed to the same amount of carbon. Difference is, it's harder to apply a bit of oil to keep that carbon soft. The piston is also smaller in diameter and exposed to more heat when it's in the gas block. Piston in gas block systems have their downsides too.
My choice to replace the M4 is the Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40 watt range- Only because someone is going to say it eventually and this time, I get to first![]()

LWRCi developed the Six8 (specifically in the form of the UCIW), Magpul developed the 30 round Six8 PMAG, and ATK developed the 90gr Gold Dot 6.8 load for a FMS contract. They did not go "proprietary because they thought they could." Everything on the Six8 train hooks up to specific contracted specs, not to some misbegotten attempt to kickstart 6.8SPC commercial sales.
