  • Adams Arms Piston AR's?

    Got the notice from Buds that they had the Adams Arm piston AR blems on sale for $599. Anyone have any experience with them? Worth the price difference over the cheaper guns? The reviews said most buyers couldn't find the blemish. Seems like it might be a decent addition to the safe.

    Lots of benefits to the piston drive vs DI. But they use more parts than a simple gas tube. More parts are more points of failure. At the same time though, the gas piston keeps heat and debri off the bolt and out of the upper receiver.

    That said. I have a couple of the AA kits on guns and like them.
    Fuck you. We're going to Costco.

      I have an AA piston kit on a home build and it is one of my favorite shooters. The recoil feels different that DI. Go for it...

        Think I might just do it. Don't really need another one, but haven't bought anything in a while.

          I have an AA upper and it shoots real good. I wouldn't pay full price, but when you find them on sale they are worth it.

            I have a home build I put an AA kit on and love it.

              I too have a home built AA pistol and it rocks. Shoots soft and works great. It is pretty loud but can shoot all day long with a smile on my face.

              Built mine with a spike's lower and stage 5 pistol buffer tube.

              $599 is a great price.

                  and if you care, Adams Arms has probably one of the best customer service reputations in the gun world

                      Yes it is. It's just like every other red dot, it has a very small dot. If you don't have nightvision you really should buy something cheaper, just not worth it. NVG is really where it shines.

                        I wish they made one in a green dot. It makes it easier to see for those of us that wear corrective lenses.

                          is the solar helpful or more of a gimmick?

                            You can leave it in for 5 years without it draining the battery without any sunlight. With the solar recharging, it's life is indefinite. Something tells me the battery would wear out from age before it was drained.
