Adams Arms AR-15 P1 Gas Piston Upper Receiver – Product Overview
A short-stroke gas piston operating system, which prevents hot gas and debris from coming back into action while shooting, is a feature of every Adams Arms AR-15 P1 Gas Piston Upper Receiver. However, the end result is a firearm that is more dependable, cleaner, and runs cooler than firearms that use a conventional direct gas impingement operating mechanism.
This 5.56x45mm NATO-chambered Adams Arms P1 is equipped with a lower receiver that can be mounted to any common AR-15 upper receiver and is ready to fire right out of the box. The Base Mid upper comes equipped with the 16′′ melonite-finished barrel, Adams Arms Ar pistol, bolt carrier group, charging handle, Picatinny rail gas block, Glock 42 Semi-Automatic.380 ACP delta ring group, and Magpul MOE handguards.
Other characteristics include forged A3 flat-top configuration WARRIOR ASSAULT SYSTEMS ready to receive the shooter’s preferred optic, M4 feed ramps to help ensure reliable feeding and functioning during short strings of fire, and a mid-length gas system for a softer recoil impulse and longer sight diameter.
Is a 308 from Adams Arms worth it?
Because they are less vulnerable to Kimber Micro 9 Black OI fluctuations in ammo, the Adams Arms 308 Gun Professionals are typically seen as being more trustworthy. Piston pistols operate more cleanly and, some claim, more coolly than natural impingement actions since no propellant gases are introduced into the operating system.
Which is superior, Adams Arms Ar10 or Piston?
Adams arms ar10 are often lighter, more precise, and more affordable. On the other hand, piston-driven systems run more smoothly and with greater dependability SPEER GOLD-DOT-9MM-LUGER 124 500Rds. The decision is ultimately up to you.
Which is preferable, 11.5 piston upper or gas?
Since gas is directed into the piston rather than the action, an upper working system with 11.5 pistons operates significantly more efficiently. As a result, it requires less lubrication and cleaning. Gas-piston weapons, such as the AK-47, Ruger Mini-14, or M1 carbine, operate more consistently.

First look at this lower, the fixed trigger guard seems a bit bulky. Other than that I cant say. Have not milled this lower out so have no idea of the finished product.

The finish is not perfect, so if you are looking for a show piece you will have to refinish it. But other than that, they came quickly and worked fine.
