    I know I'll never buy from SOG Armory again. Shortly after the election craze a few years back I was looking long and hard for a mid-length gas-tube and I had already tried to buy two at different places (made a trip all the way to them - an hour one way) and they turned out to be carbine-length tubes.

    I ordered one from SOG and made sure to bring it up to the person on the phone 6 or 7 times that it was in fact a mid-length gas-tube and I was assured that it was.

    When it came in, it was a carbine-length and SOG wouldn't do anything for me other than refund the original cost of the part (but not shipping - it was their friggin mistake).

    I ended up selling the gas-tube since it was easier to do that than dispute it on my Visa and actually ship it back to SOG.

    Crappy customer service (the guy on the phone was rude, didn't know what he was talking about when it came to gas-tube lengths, and acted like he was upset that I was even buying anything from them).

    F SOG Armory. I bought an DD Omega rail from them, and they shorted me the bolts to keep the rail together, and the ladder rail covers that are supposed to come with it. Of course after the fact they said they had ladder rail covers for $11 each. Probably the same ones they took off the rail they sent me.




    They are at the gunshows down here, and tons of their stuff is overpriced. Only reason I bought from them ONCE was because they had a particular rail length/color I needed and no one else I could find had any in stock.

    POF-USA. There's probably a hundred of them if you simply search "Piston AR" on GunBroker.com

    Are they a well-known company that I've just never heard of or come across?

    Although the EAGLE may soar proudly through the skies, it is very rare for the Weasel to be sucked into a jet engine.

    So do they make a quality rifle? I liked a few models they had for sale on Broker, and they seem to be plentiful and affordable. I'd just never heard of them or even seen one...

    If you're wanting a piston gun, I would go with either an LWRC AR15 or an FN SCAR. That's just my personal opinion based off of talking to guys who own either of those two, as well as reading AARs from guys who run those guns hard in carbine courses. I'm not going to bash any other brands here. I'll just say that I'd highly recommend one of those two I listed more than any other popular piston gun out there.

    That said, I'd rather have a nice BCM, KAC, Daniel Defense, Noveske, Larue Tactical, Colt, etc, etc.. Shit, if you got the cash, get a Larue OBR. That'd be a great change for you and would be plenty "different" from your regular 5.56mm ARs.

    That's all I got for ya, man. Good luck!

    I appreciate the helpful advice. I seriously considered the LT OBR, or ordering a complete 18" Stealth upper from them, but really need to stay around $2k on this one. That won't buy me a SCAR for sure ...

    That's why I opted to try a new design on basically the same platform, going with a Piston AR. I'm down to two for my money, LMT or LWRCi . I'd guess that whichever I find a good deal on first will be the victor. I could go with KAC, but would have to cheapen down my optics for it, and I don't want to do that. Already got the Aimpoint package picked out. I could opt for a cheaper mount that Larue, and afford the KAC maybe, but I don't want to make any sacrifices that I may regret later. I just want a quality gun within budget.

    Thanks!
