Best Available Piston Upper

[jcoulson64]

I've been thinking of getting more into the black rifle game, more specifically the AR series, and I have a couple questions; I was hoping to go with a lower from Alberta Tactical Rifle, and I wanted a piston upper. The question is this:

Q: What is the best quality (aside from the MR223) piston upper readily available in Canada?

Now i know that some drop in piston systems have longevity issues due to carrier tilt etc, so I'm looking for the one that has the longest round life, preferably chrome lined barrel but not a must, and the best reliability record.

Feedback appreciated

CMMG seems to have the best bang for the buck in Canada, check with Questar.

Do you know if CMMG has had any issues with wear or damage or any issues with low round life?

Nope all good, very good quality. Only owned the non piston upper 1:7.

The PWS long stroke is the best piston upper, AK reilabillity in a AR15 platform=perfection.

Too bad they are so expensive, Questar is the PWS dealer.

HK416, one in the EE if you have 10k to spare.

LWRC seems to be a top pick over on AR15.com , can't go wrong with LMT either.
