I like the idea of the forward charging option and dust wiper/cover.
Kaiser.shooter,
I posted a longer reply in the other thread. But just for consistency sake..
That product doesn't come anywhere close to what I would consider "mature". If they do well during the Army's ICC solicitation then continue to produce products with no discernible decline in standards we can talk. Until then *I* wouldn't spend my money to find out if they're any good.
You want a gas piston - get an AR180. The system worked great because it was designed as a system. The BC is different and the springs are in the same plane as the force from the piston - even so there is more bearing surface on the 180 carrier, and it was designed to use steel as the upper receiver material, not aluminum.
Not sure about the current AR180B's - I have only used the original Costa Mesa or Sterling Arms versions.
