Sweet looking rifle, Sam. Nice build.
Dumb question... Difference between gas and "piston?" Both my guns have gas tubes (ones a RRA) so I assume they're gas?
Ahhhhh gotcha. So basically they're both gas operated, just in slightly different ways.Basically a rod runs above the barrel from the gas block back to the receiver. On fireing the gas pushes the rod which forces the bolt back. This is the same way AKs, M1s, and M14s operate.
Direct impingement (gas) is the normal way ARs operate. A tube directs the gas from the gas block back to the receiver and a burst of gas forces the bolt back.

I just fired a couple shots to check function. Need to get a scope mounted and play with it. Pistons have a reputation of being less accurate, the advantage is they don't blow gas(and dirt) into the action.
Was yours gas piston though?

AgreedLooks great Sam. Your milling looks better than 99.999% of the goobers on line.
