Piston operated AR's

Getting the JP spring dealie because of the suppressor, not the piston system.

Spring "sproing" was never something that I really understood as a problem after about the first 2 weeks of owning an AR, but to each his own. With a two (or three) position gas block on an op-rod gun running suppressed, the "sproing" seems even less of an issue, but that's me.

I have owned more than a few piston (LWRC and PWS) rifles. They are excellent rifles and have taken a beaten over time, suppressed and I suppressed. I have never been a fan of slapping on one of those conversions to make a DI rifle a piston rifle. I'd rather buy a gun from a company that specifically engineered the rifle around the piston.

Interesting read, thanks.

I would agree that the way to go for piston ARs is a factory built one, not a DI conversion.

Adams has a sale going now to get a Samson Evo EX handguard with it's piston conversion kit. Pretty legit deal.
