[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3793209, member: 41176"] I don't have any guns I have not shot. Some occasionally, and some I wear out, but none don't not have bullets through them. Piston ARs are about as exciting as watching paint dry. There's nothing magical or special about them. They just take a common Euro/Eastern Euro design and modify it to fit. Some use a full op-rod/piston, some use a tappet/piston, and some use a combination op-rod/tappet/piston Some are designed ground up, and some are after-market kits. The greatest benefit is the BCG doesn't have carbon all over it and doesn't get hot (BCG) like a DI gun does. They all work and some work better than others. The kits are where we used to see issues with bolt tilt but now you can get carriers that are made for pistons. I'd take yours to the range, shoot it, and then see if someone there has a different one to compare or link up with somebody here to do that. Or go buy some spendy guns and compare. [/QUOTE]
