I've got multiple ARs currently and all are DI. I've got a lower I want to build up and I think I want to do this one as a piston driven gun because . . . well, just because. Doing a little research it looks like Adams Arms is the prevalent maker of piston systems, but I know there are others. So I'm wondering if owners of piston driven ARs here on INGO would like to share their experiences with various brands and models especially if there are some to stay away from.
Some additional info:
- I would want to buy a complete upper rather than trying the conversion kits I've seen
- I tend to like short rifles so something in 10.5" or 11.5" barrel is likely what I'd want to find although a 16" is on the table as well
- I will want to suppress this gun so an adjustable gas block is something I would want to have
- My budget is not unlimited, but I don't want to cheap out either. I'm willing to pay a reasonable amount for quality
Thanks for any input.
