Anyone considering a piston AR

[whitewolf001]

You should look into an ARAK-21. You're basically getting an ACR but at a much better deal IMHO.

Honestly I've thought about one, but I'd like to handle one. Surprisingly none of my buddies have a piston upper

I have in the past considered a piston AR.  But the piston conversions introduce, in my opinion, more problems than they solve.  A better solution for me is an adjustable gas block.  A proper tuning makes it run cleaner, which is the only real complaint some people have about the direct impingement AR

Not yet but I've watched about EVERY review there is on YouTube for them and read everyone's reviews across the interwebs, including yours, whom all have nothing but praise for it. I WAS saving up for this and a few other things and had to dump that into stuff elsewhere unfortunately. But soon.....

You didn't watch the video did you?.... The BCG is a longstroke piston which rides a steel rail JUST like an AK.

Direct impingement is still better.  Pistons belong under the hood, not the handguard.   :pleased:

No, you're right, I didn't until just now. I was just answering the thread subject in general terms.

That is a complete new design. I like it. Wonder how the accuracy compares to a DI?

I dunno, Dustbuster, I still have yet to see a range report of the ARAK-21 from ya, care to give your insight?

If I can get out to the long range After today I'll get one up. I had it out once at owl hollow right after I bought it and it worked fine,but I wasn't doing anything except getting it on paper.
Fwiw just saw a cool review on YouTube it's about 12 mins long. There's a link to it on arfcom Edited January 1, 2014 by Dustbuster

Did some homework over New Years. Assembled my other TGO lower and popped it on the arak. I'll have It out this weekend, it's ready to go:

Yep, I read that one already, haha. What can I say? I've become a bit of a Faxon whore. :p
