I assembeld my first piston AR upper recently and I really like it. Nice and lightweight and points really well. It might become my "go to" rifle.
Made a quick range trip during lunch and shot 100 rounds. No issues of any kind. I only shot Federal American Eagle and was getting 1" groups at 50 yards which opened to about 2" inches when the barrel heated up.
I read a post here recently from someone at AA that mentioned the the kits were designed for a standard buffer for semi-auto and H2 for fill auto. The H buffer on the 6920 lower worked great (maybe because of the lighter weight).
