Piston driven AR15s

[Dr. HK]

What are some of the best piston drive AR15s (complete rifles)?

 

[wolfkpr]

Only one ive played with is the Adams. It’s been good.

 

[Dr. HK]

my experience has been with DI ARs. I am wanting to buy a piston-driven. However, I have no experience in piston AR platforms.

I have a PWS upper and love it. LWRC is probably one of if not the best piston system you can get.

I had a Adams Arms carbine that I shot hard. 60k rds over 4 years before replacing the barrel. Mid length gas sys. Bolt replaced twice

I've had 2 LWRC rifles. Wish I still had them. But, another isn't in the budget now that I'm retired.

LWRC M6 16” carbine. About 10-12 tears old, maybe a little under 1000 rounds fired thru it. Flawless functioning, fast easy cleaning procedure. BCG stays cool and comparatively (to DI actions) clean. Only slight drawback I notice is the muzzle end is a bit heavier than DI versions.

Complete rifles are irrelevant. The piston system is all in the upper. I had an Adams in 5.45x39. It was the t*ts. I think there's Adams and everyone else when it comes to this type of operating system.

I've had experience with several. Beretta ARX-100, Sig 556, Sig-516, Sig 556R, Armalite AR-180B, WASR AK and Adam's Arms conversion kit.

They all functioned great.

are Ruger sr556’s any good? I own one but have never shot it. Curious how it stacks up against the others in yalls experience.
