    ...or you could go with one that puts the piston inside the bolt carrier

    If it takes you more than 15 min to clean a DI gun, you're doing something wrong.

    Why is it that when someone talks about a piston AR around here they get the, "Tenth degree" put on them. I get it. Most folks around here think that DI AR's are better. However, there are piston guns out there. Try to get over it.

    Something about evidence, research, cost, all of which are readily available via the Search button.

    It's much easier just to show up and tell all of the regulars what you think with no backing data I know, but the mods here are assholes in that they are sticklers for data, training, mean fail rates, available parts, pedantic stuff like that

    You're right. There is a lot of gimmicky garbage out there that thrives on consumer ignorance. And we are free to buy or not buy. But don't be surprised when you get strong advice against buying crap.

    If you want a piston gun, that's what you should get. Just make sure you buy a quality weapon. I don't know much about Adams other than what I read. People seem to like them. LWRC makes quality weapons. Don't know what your use is, but definitely look into the product. I would also look into Addax and LMT. If you're unsure, take a look at some quality DI guns as well; Daniel Defense, BCM, Noveske etc Centurion Arms is, from what I hear, making one of the best top ends on the market right now. I haven't had a chance to shoot one yet, but everything I've read has been positive. Also, please consider taking some training classes. I know everyone stresses how great they are for you, which they are, but it's also much more fun to shoot with others.

    It's great to get out and try something new. You can always go back.

    Right now there are a lot of new options getting good reviews -
    FN Scar
    H&K 416/MR556
    Adams Arms
    LMT
    LWRC
    Addax (new upper out in March)
    PWS
    KAC PDW is a dual piston rifle.
    Ares Shrike is a piston system.
    COLT is now bringing a piston to the market.
    Barret REC7
    Bushy ACR

    I think I see a strong trend. They just keep on coming, and they'll keep getting better. One thing that would help PWS would be to get the charging handle off of the piston rod. They need to come out with a non-proprietary rail and a side charging upper, then I'll buy one.

    We'll laugh at all this if the US military adopts a piston as their #1 one day. Pistons are here to stay. In fact, this is quite possibly the beginning of a paradigm shift, which always leaves the majority behind up front. The first movers have the advantage in the market and then the giants come in late.

    God bless

    BCM is a proven company making very high quality AR parts fit for any fighting gun.

    You will get answers but not the answers you want hear regarding AR piston guns.
    Littlelebowski is like a lot of other dudes around here who tend to give advice based on facts and experience.

    If you want advice based on bias and internet fluff we can PM you the link to ARFCOM.

    True, you can always spend three times more money based on bad advice.

    I would love for you to expound on this...

    I have a quality DI upper and wish I had a piston upper instead. I run mine suppressed with a PRI GBCH and am tired of all of the gas in my eyes! I would go with the LWRC first, but since you can get AA cheaper I would go with that. Alot of people on here are very smart and have great advice, listen to it. BUT, at the end of the day:
    -it is your money, do what YOU want with it
    -You are not in a war. You will have plenty of time to clean your gun in your cozy living room
    -there will always be another upper that will come out that you WISH you would have waited on

    Good luck!
