Alright so call me ignorant, stupid uninformed or whatever, why do the piston driven models all have gas blocks up front and the direct impingement models all have the ugly (IMO) front sight post??

Can the front sight posts be removed or do they serve some function other than simply being a sight?? if removed will the barrel be scuffed underneath?

I ask because the NEA's are direct impingement and have a gas block as well. I thought the gas block was specific to piston systems.

Id seriously consider a D.I tac model so long as that damn post can come off and a front troy or magpul can be thrown on the rail instead.

Why would a gas block be specific to DI models.. How do you expect the gas to be diverted and force the piston back?

I said I thought they were specific to piston driven systems. Pretend I know little about AR's here!! I asked several questions which I dont feel like typing again!

I ordered my core AR-15 half way through october and was told 4-5 weeks. No sign of them yet. I was told that they were waiting on state department approval.....

The most recent shipment has just been approved and will be shipping on Wednesday or Thursday of next week. A boat load of D.I. models will be on this order and we'll take the pre-order off the website as they will be available for immediate shipping by mid January.

PM if you have any questions...

Wanstalls can you hit me back with a response on this one plz? My experience with AR's goes as far a CGN and shooting a rinco aka not much!!

Thanks for your time and bringing over what seems to be an excellent product I will be considering for my next purchase!

You can add a railed gas block, as opposed to the front A post. I believe they are press fit, and pinned, but am still new to AR's to know for sure. As far as I know, you can even special order a DI gun with the front pic rail block if you so desired. I'd plan on just swapping it out. I don't think it'd be that terribly complicated and you don't have to special order. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. That's just the impression that I got from their website.

Just because it has gas block doesnt mean its piston system, it just means its a block with a gas port

Glad to hear that!
