this is pure BS ! i have pistons and DI's, i see no difference in accuracy, even IF you are shooting for half MOA groups, the original M16/AR and their imitators are made mostly for killing the enemy/home invaders at 500 yds. or LESS, it don't mater that the enemy is hit in the head when shooting for body mass, BUT most M16/AR's will hit body mass when aiming for it, which makes MOA, piston or DI irrelevant.., to the enemy/home invaders, dead is DEAD !!!
below is an example of some real crappy machining, i would like to know who made this mess ? whom ever posted that photo should be ashamed to allow us experienced AR "mechanics" to view such crap !
agree.., disagree ??
I agree with Palmetto-Pride. (that's OK !) The DI AR is inherently more accurate than the piston design. (what proof do you have, have you personally run an accuracy test on several AR makers of each piston or gas AR ? neither have i, but i do have two piston guns and two gas operated AR's from different makers, they all perform to my expectations.., that's all. ) The strait lock up helps with that, I have no doubt. The real issue is does it matter to the shooter? For a battle rifle, it may not make any difference. For a match rifle, it DOES make a HUGE difference.
I don't recall the OP asking for opinions on a battle rifle, nor do I recall the op asking for opinions on a match rifle. He was asking for the Most Accurate out of the box, and that is the DI design. (your opinion or the hacks who write up phantasy land "every thing about this gun is perfect" type.., just show me the proof, but you see, that is impossible to happen, because proof to me is you shooting both gas vs piston in front of me to witness)
As for the "crappy machining" does it really matter if it's a nicely finished cut away? Does it make the point, or does it not? It's not my picture, (no doubt, i believe you are smarter to claim it as yours, you posted it so i believed i had the right to criticize it) but I wonder what the value (what is the value ? if i were to educate anyone about anything i would have good training aids, not something that would give the impression that every bolt carrier comes that way.) is of criticizing someone (please.., recognize the difference between "someone" and "something" thank you.) who is making an effort to educate folks who would really like to see how the workings of Eugene Stoner's design works because it's not a nicely finished show piece.
