There are numerous alternatives.
Personally, I own a Masterpiece Arms MPAR 556. It's a piston driven AR style rifle, quite similar in operation to the older AR-180's and the leader dynamics t2 MK5.
It is a solid and rugged weapon and exceptionally accurate, and the piston system has a unique function in that the amount of gas pushed through the piston system can be easily adjusted. Four different adjustments, 'single', 'regular', 'dirty', and 'low-pressure'; the single function effectively puts the gun into a single shot, pull bolt operation, regular is self explanatory, the dirty function purges a massive amount of gas through the system, effectively cleaning it, and the low-pressure is for subsonic ammuntion.
It's kind of a mash-up of a number of great military fire-arms of yesteryear, A sort of throw back frankenstein and it gets the job done. I was just happy to have something other than an Ar-15.
