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.
