Piston vs gas AR build?

(1/10) > >>

JR:
Guys just looking for opinions on my next AR build.

I have wanted to build a longer range AR for some time. So I just got a fluted SS 20 inch barrel chambered in 223 Wylde, 1-8 twist.

Opinions on using a piston vs gas and stock options. All my ARs are gas, and us magpul moe stocks.

Sure it is just an AR, not a real long range round. But what the heck it will be nice not have all carbines (cept one 300aac pistol)

Higher Caliber:
Have you ever built a piston AR? Personally I'm a traditional gas guy (stoner 4 life)

Either or will work. But the DI is simpler, lighter.

I shot the H&K 416, piston gun
Served with a ton of guys overseas who used their own custom uppers, most piston guns and I rode around with my non-optics Colt M4, with the silly 3 round burst.

My gun never failed on a mission, but most of the custom AR guns did.

The gas piston AK's haji used to shoot at us always seemed to work.

All my personal AR guns are gas

I'm staying simple...gas...unless the manufacturer made it as a piston gun

And Bobby (And Red Neck) why am I suddenly so "Quotable?"

And off topic (DOTin!) Bobbee, did you buy that 7.3 you were showing us?
