Well, I have run wolf, federal, and UMC through my new AA build. No cleaning and 700 rounds later, I was amazed at how little carbon was on the piston and BCG. After years of shooting DI as a civilian and also 4 years in the USMC, I can honestly say there is no comparison. This is the way of the future IMHO.

Yes sir.  I good piston built rifle is the only way to go imo.  I don't miss the DI systems from active duty.

I had no love for my M16 as it was before the good mags and I didn't have one that wasn't a jammomatic.  You also knew that any Drill Instructor would find loads of carbon to gig you on and now I almost feel guilty how little time I spend in cleaning.  The old why fix something that isn't broke is a poor line as well, DI broke a system that worked better in how many prior piston rifles?   The continued love seems to come from those who  never had to do a pushup do to carbon fowling, course now they'd just find it up around the barrel and a pushing you'd go!  Is still have a DI, and always will, but push comes to shove the DI is going first.

Totally agree!

There is a cult like devotion to DI rifes (and the Colt Brand name too). Any talk about DI rifles overheated and dirty will immediate labelled as DI haters.
