AR piston kit?

WOW! SWEET! You can post in Latin! And a Daewoo too? (again, I ASSUME) Still, this is not a matter of taste. Rather, it's a bunch of marketing hype BS many have bought into.

YouTube - Every question and answer on a gun forum

...and despite all the cool guy linguistics, the question remains: Why would a Daewoo owner (or anybody for that matter) want a piston driven AR? Just to satisfy your palate? Really?

If everybody liked the same thing there wouldn't be enough to go around. I like my rifle just fine, and I have not been aware of of any deluge of marketing hype for a rifle that has not been commercially available for 20 years or so. BTW, a piston transfers less heat into the receiver than a DI system. I don't put down on folks who like their AR-15s. Why do you seem to have such a problem with people who like something else? I guess all that marketing hype must have kicked in when the Army tested the H&K416, nicht wahr? Oooh - I can post in German too!! Stay tuned for bits of wisdom in languages from all over the world.

Oh, and here's my answer to the original question, i.e. "Why would anybody want a piston kit for an AR-15?"

Never saw a Daewoo do that.

Haven't been on here in a while...but I ended up converting one of my AR's to a piston system. Took my piston kit money, the AR, and a Ruger 9mm I could live without, sold them, and bought a Sig 556 swat. Haven't shot it yet, but it looks sweet. The Sig is heavier than the DI AR I kept, but I can live with that.
