I understand preferring DI over piston, and reasons behind it. I only own a single piston AR, the PWS mk1 mod 2, among all my DI guns. But I do find it strange that you'd be so butt hurt about someone wanting a piston gun... No where did the OP solicit opinions as to whether he should or shouldn't get a piston upper, in fact he seems pretty clear that he wants to know WHICH one to get. This begs the question in my mind why you're so angry about this.
You don't like pistons? Great. Move on dude... It's really not that big a deal, is it?
Correct, they recommend cleaning at 5K. I have cleaned at around 2k without issue.
Front sight wasn’t even off much.
For the money, I have not seen a better option in a piston gun than PWS.
Proper Planing Prevents Piss Poor Performance.......
