A friend of mine is a gunsmith. One of his customers is a Special Forces guy who recently took a high-end carbine class. One thing led to another and this guy, who was considering getting a PWS conversion, mentioned it to the instructor and was told that he could get it done for him by the factory with the "heavy duty" version that would stand up to the rigors the lowly "peasant" version sold to the general public wouldn't. I've met this SF guy before and he knew I was buying a PWS system and remarked to my gunsmith buddy that his offer was for something a little more "sturdy". Any truth to this? If so, what gives??????????? |

| Nothing against PWS, but if you want a piston upper, then get one designed that way from the ground up. I've never seen a conversion that works 100% without affecting something else in the rifle. Most notably from the PWS converstion, I've seen significant reciever extension wear from bad carrier tilt. |
So do you have one yourself or is it something you've heard about? |
