I am building my first piston AR and I need some advice on the Adams Arms piston system. How many of you have them? Is this a good, reliable system? What other systems are you guys using? Just need some help picking a good one. I am putting it on a 16" spikes upper. Thanks for the help.
God Bless. |

IMO, if you are building a Piston AR then Adams Arms is the only way to go. It is very robust and I have had 3 no issues with mine. Many other people will tell you the same. The are around $280, which is very reasonably priced.
They are such good pistons, that they are being used by several manufacturers including Smith and Wesson as their OEM pistons. |

AA kits are excellent and work as advertised. the new kits with a one piece carrier are the way to go. one thing to think about is how you will clean the area behind the gas block if you will be running a one piece rail as you will have to remove the gas block to clean here.
email me if you have any questions. fatkid |

Quoted:
Look at the Osprey kit too before you decide. Its much simpler, easier to install and doesn't require any switches to use a can. Doesnt Osprey provide the piston system for LMT? The LMT 12" piston upper ive been looking at you flip the dial 180 for regular/suppressed. I personally own a complete Adams Arms piston upper and it works great. I have not tried the Adams Arms piston suppressed yet though. |
