But I never liked the idea of blowing hot gas and burned powder into the
receiver so last month I picked up a new Adams Arms upper with 16"
barrel.
I also put a PDQ Ambidextrous bolt stop/release in because the stock
release is left handed.
Adams upper has no gas tube to the bolt, it's a gas piston-driven op-rod
and the receiver runs cooler and much cleaner. Same idea as M1's and M14's/M1-A's.
Added flip up sights. This thing is very accurate for the shorter barrel!

I love the modular platform of the AR series! SO versatile!!!
NOW I WISH I GOT ONE OF THE ADAMS UPPERS YOU MAKE ME MAD!
