What piston kit would work in my DPMS ORACLE 308 16 inch barrel . Trying to get my head wrapped around this as I'm wanting to suppress this gun and run a gas piston on it. been reading a lot trying to figure all this out.   Thanks if you can help...

I don't think anyone currently makes a .308 piston kit.  You could use an AR15 kit on it, the problem would be the BCG.  You need a one piece or you run the risk of shearing off the key.

They're finalizing the project. I believe it will be sometime soon in which they will release it.

Are you referring to their SF308?  If so it's only compatible with the GII.

Both yes and no. I do think that Adams Arms might get into the "old" DPMS pattern 308 ARs sooner or later.










I'm still burned by the fact that DPMS decided to go proprietary when we were somewhat close to establishing a standard.
