Osprey, Ares, and TNW come to mind. I would choose them in that order as well, but I have none, so what do I know?

Osprey has the FZ option as well.

I have the first two (osprey and Ares). You need to pick one to fit your handgurard assuming you don't use their hand guard.

Ares Defense or Osprey.
Ares - 213 dollars included shipping.
Osprey -303 dollars included shipping.
Both kits are great. I have both systems for my ARs.
Good Luck

What upper are you using? I noticed the difference in recoil between different brands of barrels due to Gas hole sizes.
I have an Osprey in a Spikes M4 and it's very smooth and a dream to shoot. You can mod a Moe hand guard for these and they run real clean.

I got the Ares solely because of the sale. Works for me. I had a TNW kit and did not like the way it mounted/clamped around the barrel so I sold it. Not enough rounds through the Ares yet but retaining the front sight assemble was most important to me. David

You guys running the Ares, where did you order it from?
It seems my search fu is failing me on this wanted purchase.
Thanks

I love my Osprey Defense Piston system. I still have my factory front site.
