Talk me out of it!
Ok so I am buidling a new AR from the ground up. I have a OD matched Mega lower and upper. I am thinking I want to build a 16" piston AR. After a couple days of reading and researching about gas piston conversions on an AR I have settled on an Adams Arms. I know all about carrier tilt and they swear that this in not an issue w/ their systems. Anyone have any ACTUAL experience with their systems??? Thanks in advance!

Yeh I clean my AR's everytime I shoot them, and sometimes even in between shooting so I like the clean bolt/carrier thing. Also I have several DI ARs and thought it would be a little something different.

I would get one if I had A SBR or a suppressor but that's it. Good product but I'm the guy that cleans his guns after every outing.

From what I get from his post is he stated that he has used piston systems. He didnt say I own a piston system so I would say he has a gas system.
