Piston AR-10 drop in system? Is there one?

[Adician]

I know of the few from factories, but I don't like the looks of a POF or REPR's or any others I've seen.

Is there a drop in rifle length piston gas system for either the AR-10 or DPMS spec'd uppers and lowers?


If anyone's curious, I'm building a gun that's going to get used, a lot. A lot lot. I wouldn't care for a piston system if it was a bench gun. Thanks for the help!

You should shoot a POF. Don't think there are any kits around for what you want to do.

Shot POFs before, my good buddy owns own. They feel top heavy and look ridiculous to me. I'm just not a fan.

Thanks though.

No piston conversions available at this time. Adams Arms (and others) are working on conversion kits for the AR-10/LR-308 platform rifles, but no ETA or details yet.

If the POF doesn't appeal to you because of its appearance, there are other piston options out there now that you can look into if you can't wait for a conversion.

What are the other piston options? I wouldn't mind checking some out my self, sorry to jack the thread I feel the same way

Don't worry about it, I'm all for options. I'd prefer to build with my own components, but I want a piston .308 AR platform. Is that really too much to ask?

I myself prefer the ar it's vary hard to argue with over 50 years of experiance I would love to see one of those piston kit's for an ar and I like buying anything I can from Amarican manufacturers. No politic's just self induced Patriotic duty. Not to mention this is going to be the year for the ar 10 cmag.
