New AR Piston Build

[10mm-man]

Ok, so here is my build:
Spike's Tactical Lower (Multi) Forged Spider Stripped
CMMG AR-15/M16 GAS PISTON CONVERSION KIT
DPMS Buttstock Assembly 6-Position Commercial Diameter Collapsible AR-15 Carbine Synthetic Black
DPMS Lower Receiver Parts Kit AR-15

16" M4 5.45x39 barrel. 4140 chrome moly, M4 feed ramps, gas port is drilled, mil-spec parkerizing finish,1:9 twist, standard AR-15 barrel threading. Mfg in the USA.
Milspec forged aluminum complete upper receiver (includes forward assist & dust cover assembly installed). Keyhole forge marking. Has M4 feed cuts. A3 Flattop. Milspec anodizing. Manufactured in the USA by LAR Mfg.


So I assembled it yesterday and headed to the range for some testing. I wanted to go with the gas piston for all the various reasons that they provide. I must say I was impressed with it and it performed as expected. I put about 120 rounds through it and when my case of a thousand comes in I will put another 100, then do a torture test on it. I watched videos of people doing these and I want to see if it holds up and performs flawless as they say it will. I will also change out the hand grips for a quad rail here in the next week or so...

Sounds like a good unit. I'd like to check out a cmmg setup. I'm running the Adams Arms one. if the cmmg is 1/2 as good as tha AA you will enjoy it the more rounds fired.

I was gonna go with the AA but got the CMMG one on sale. Supposed to be version 2 or 3, I read the 1st wasn't that good..... Flawless operation yesterday!

I am happy!

Not sure how I feel about that? Kinda crap ammo, is it not? What other disadvantages does it have besides can't reload? What are some advantages?

The only downside for steel cased = no reloading. Some of the rounds have been a tad weak, yet nothing that caused any performance issues (FTF, FTE etc)
Advantages, Price per 1K, knowing your rifle will function with any ammo on the market, price, price, price. The shit depending on mfg comes wrapped in tins, or plastic. The steel case 5.56 i have, been sitting for years with no degradation or performance issues.
I suggest you buy a few boxes and road test it, either you're happy or you're not.
Worst of all it goes boom and does not have any side effects, such as nausea, diarrhea, loss of hearing, dizziness or weight loss.
