[QUOTE="3fingervic, post: 448931, member: 16685"] Most AR companies are starting to make piston ARs. Some companies are making piston conversion kits. It's really a 6 of one half dozen of the other type deal. I'm going to buy a Stag Arms model 8 in the next month or so. The advantage of the the piston system is that the heat and fouling doesn't go back to the bolt carrier group, making that portion of the firearm easier to clean. The piston system does weigh more. Some models are heavier than others. Plus most of the manufacturers are charging about a $500 premium for the piston variety. Stag's offering weighs about 4 oz. more and costs about $200. Plus they make it in left hand, and that is the model that I'm going to get. For you TNPers out there, 2nd kind of cool.
