    I read that article when it first came out and enjoyed it thoroughly. That article and TOS thread have the AK guys saying it can't be true because they heard from a vet, relative or friend that the AR is a jamomatic POS.

    Good read. I was hoping to read about if they had any AR's with billet receivers, and if they had any issues.

    So are they running all their piston setups on full auto? Maybe I overlooked that part.
    Good read though.

    They do make a lot of their money on customer just wanting to blast away on full auto, (and since they're making margin per magazine, it's in their interest to encourage that) so the majority of the rounds are on full auto. This would be the biggest deviation from normal civilian owned AR usage... but using higher quality ammo and actually following a cleaning and lubrication regiment means their guns run better than most.

    I think it's funny that he refuses to say how or if the
    PWS piston system ran. He won't even comment if
    they have used it. He says he doesn't want to comment
    on failures of manufacturers because he doesn't want
    people to take it wrong, when all throughout the thread
    he sites specific names and how they perform. But will
    not touch PWS with a 10 ft pole. Intrigues me as to why?

    You can't join the site and forum with a "email server
    That's free" so no. There are many others on there
    Asking about PWS but he refuses to say anything.

    No dig on Pmags, but I just don't like them. I have never trusted plastic mags unless they are metal-lined like Glock mags. His real-world data about USGI mags being the most durable confirmed my "gut" feeling about mags.

    Once people get over the fact that magazines are disposable life becomes easier. Even USGI magazines fail.

    Granted, but you want the mags that last the longest.
