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 bitch?! 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.

Good to know.

Having started with rifles cleaning the M14 and then having to deal with the filthy bolt carrier of ARs has always had me interested in piston conversions.

Now if someone will come up with a big block piston kit.
