To go piston or not to go piston?
I have a 10.5" (carbine gas system) barreled AR pistol that I am building and have not bought a BCG for it. I do have a Yankee Hill Gas block and gas tube but that is it. I am at the point where I can make the turn to go for a piston set-up or I could continue on with a standard gas block set-up. My concern is reliability with a standard gas set-up vs the piston set-up. I would rather not spend the money for the piston set-up if you guys and gals think that it will run reliably with the gas set-up...
