[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1742682, member: 1132"] DI all the way. Despite being out for some time, piston AR's still make up a very small segment of total AR sales. If they were as good as the makers tout, they'd be dominating sales now. You can build a DI gun these days that will run 800-1,000 rounds without cleaning or lube, if you source the right parts. DI guns are definitely more accurate overall as well. Same for the monoliths. Yes they're nice, but there's a reason they don't dominate and it isn't price. With a monolith, what you see is what you get. You're stuck with that configuration. Lots of guys will buy a Vltor MUR and spend another $200-350 on a railed forend from Daniel Defense, or a slick modular tube like the ones from Troy. If you change your mind later, just swap it for something else. I think my next build will feature the new Troy Alpha rail with built in sight. It's one of the lightest aluminum forends available and Troy has one of the best BUIS sights available. Melding the two together makes a nice piece of kit! [b][Broken External Image][/b] [/QUOTE]
