    I know its not LWRC or Adams, but the price is still the same. I have a LMT MRP piston, its been 100% reliable with the 1000 rounds fired since I bought it about 6 months ago. I have found the same uppers on the exchange here for about $1000 like new. The best part is if you realize you dont like the piston system, you can switch to DI easily. You can swap bbls and gas systems to suit your needs. I have to say though the pistons are no doubt heavier, but its still a great gun.

    Can you cite instances of failures in gas piston guns due to the clamp-on feature ? I am very interested in learning about failures of AR piston systems. Thanks !

    I have three DI AR's (BCM, RRA, Busy), two AKs (SAR-1, SAR-2), and was looking for a new toy. I bought an Adams Arms factory mid length upper and put it on a CMMG lower I had laying around. Why??? Because I wanted to. Lots of fun and easier to clean up.

    The factory Adams Arms gas block is pinned on - only the aftermarket kits are clamp on.

    If you want it, get it.
