AR15's - direct impingement vs gas piston

[BigNate]

If God had wanted the AR-15 to be a piston gun, He would have told Eugene Stoner to do it that way.

I can only hear your post as spoken by Gunny Hartman...

The age old discussion

Both are great videos, especially the 2nd one! Nice to see that a piston driven AR was more reliable than an AK. I've always thought of the piston driven AR is the best of both worlds, lots of accuracy, and reliability.

I keep forgetting to post in this thread. I took my Adams Arms out a few months ago an put a couple of mags through it. Functioned flawlessly.

Glad you liked your AA piston upper and it performed well, did you take it apart and discover the lack of carbon build up, quick wipe down and you’re good to go for round two.

I haven't taken it apart after shooting it (only put 60 rounds through it), but I'm familiar as I have a PWS as well. I want to test it out with steal cased ammo, I don't have any steal cased but I'll get some. I'd like to find the dirtiest steal cased ammo to see how it holds up.

This was brought up on ARFCOM. Op of the post made it sound as if AA was no more. Here’ the actual result of AA being unable to pay the note.

Well ain't that a b****?! Damn it.

Hopefully the creditor will be interested in keeping it going rather than selling it off piece by piece.

On a related note, I just became aware of a new player in the piston conversion kit game, also out of Florida,...Superlative Arms. https://suparms.com/piston-systems.html

I bought one of the Wolf A1 uppers a couple years ago. Piston AR style design and in service by the Tiawanese for the last 30ish years. It has been 100% from the get go, and it is really nice only having to clean the piston. I like it enough that I may by a PWS upper which one of my local stores has started carrying.

Adams Arms is back, Alexandria Pro Fab purchased everything they had. Said they will honor the lifetime warranties on all AA firearms, plus the availability of parts now.
Coming soon to Alex Pro Fab web site
