That's disappointing, Klem. You're absolutely right, the piston system becoming DI-like dirty makes me wonder why piston a gun indeed. HOWEVER - the one saving grace for my piston hold-out hopes, is Larue's Tranquillo system reduction of back pressures and chamber gas levels. "LGE"?
I can't wait to take the 556 barrel cartridge, put my mid length AA kit on it, and mount the Tranquillo. Maybe a year from now I'll be ready to tackle that test with gusto... A correctly suppressed piston system AR with little or actually NO face-gas sounds delightfully enjoyable. Especially when training my offhand abilities.
If I may, I am Absolutely impressed with the AA piston carrier. This thing makes standard AR carriers look like Chinese vs Snap-on. The machining and finish are both incredible, and the nitriding is top notch. I almost thought it was blued at first. A little extra oil never hurt a carrier anyway.
