Adams Arms Gas Piston Upper
The Adams Arms Gas Piston Upper is Complete upper receiver assembly comes ready to install on mil-spec lower receiver. The advantages of AR gas piston operation are clean, positive cycling and a less violent operating cycle. As gas isn’t vented into the piston AR receiver, the bolt, bolt carrier and fire control group remain clean for far longer and require much less cleaning. A cooler running gun is less hard on its components and less lube means less dirt and sand grinding away at the AR’s internals.

Nor will the charging handle blow back in the event of latch failure. The AR-15 piston upper is forged from 6061 T-6 aluminum Type III hard anodized for corrosion and abrasion protection.
