It is a good thing that I ended up looking elsewhere for my piston needs, because this lead me to link up with Adams Arms, specifically Jason Adams.
    I ended up receiving the very first production Adams Arms Piston System on the market (custom engraved by Jason). I really like dealing with manufacturers who appreciate your business and appreciate your opinion. LWRC had/has kind of a "when we want your opinion we will give it to you".

    That being said, once again, please understand that plenty of other people have nothing but good things to say about LWRC, and they do make a great product. This is a forum, and I am not breaking any forum rules telling you my opinion. I jut wanted to put this out there for you.

    Respectfully,

    I have never had that experience with LWRC and I have been pounding their ARs since they were just L-W....read 2006.

    In fact, my current M6A3 is the finest AR I have had the pleasure to abuse. No probs, and I get a real person on the phone whenever I call..which is mostly for tech questions other guys ask me.

    YMMV

    S/F

    I am a piston fanatic, and have a lot of experience with CMMG, Adams Arms, PWS, LMT, Ares, and Osprey.

    I have handled but not shot LWRC rifles. They appear to be well made. If you are looking for purpose/design built piston AR's you should look at AdamsArms and PWS before buying.

    PWS is wholly different than most other designs, and IMHO are one of the best piston AR's on the market. Adams Arms is also fantastic, and the simplicity of their design is unmatched period.

    I know this forum has an affiliation with LWRC, but I am going to say this anyway. (I guess since I was banned from ARF.com for talking honestly about a vendor, I will cross my fingers here)

    The Guys at PWS are INCREDIBLE. Both from a customer service perspective and service after the sale support. You cannot expect better from a manufacturer. This means that PWS acts like they want your business.

    I currently own 5 piston AR's from 3 different manufacturers (LMT, Adams, PWS), and each has their strong and weak points. I can tell you that once you get a piston AR you will enjoy shooting a lot more (not having to worry about a 2 hour cleaning session afterward). Some people will tell you they are less reliable or less accurate than a DI rifle, I have 1000's of rounds through my piston guns and the only stoppages I have experienced are due to sub-par ammunition.

    Will you adopt me?
    and give me one of your rifles.
