Don't worry about it. He's just referring to the weekly discussions that go back and forth over if Piston ARs are really a worthy upgrade. Check out the thread he started to get a taste of it.

If you are interested in getting a piston upper PWS seems to have what looks to be one of the best AR piston systems out right now eliminating the carrier tilt issue by attaching the op rod to the carrier to stabilize it. If I were to buy a piston upper right now it would be either PWS or LWRC.

I assume the outcome is the same as the SKS vs. AK47 LOL

Yikes! Conversions are much cheaper. I do have a LWRC converted upper from the cos. first incarnation. Now I also have an Adams Arms conversion. I'm looking to add another, maybe CMMG.

That they may be, but I have found that oftentimes one gets what one pays for.
