I have two. They work great, but haven't shot them in a while. I have them
For over 4 years now.
Is anybody utilizing these pistons?
Is it reliable for your rifle?
Any feed back will do.

I guess I am the only guy who bought the Bushmaster piston conversions?

I read alot here but do not post... I purchsed a bushmaster when they first came out over 1k on it no problems. I also purchased an ARES and put it on the second rifle I built no problems out of it either. Both eat whatever i feed them I am happy YMMV.

I own one bushmaster kit, yet haven't put it to use.
I bought mine new for 125 bucks.

I have a bushmaster kit with about 3k rounds, not one malfunction.
They were a little expensive when I bought mine about 3 years ago.

I converted my Bushmaster Carbon 15 to an Osprey Defense Gas Piston System and LOVED IT!

I have 3 Ospre416 systems the absolute best drop in.The Bushmaster drop in is just and Aries drop in with the clamp to keep the gas cyclinder from moving.

I bought the Ares, which is the unit resold by Bushmaster, and found it "bulletproof", happy with everything from Wolf-crap to 75Gr TAP 5.56. Highly recommended.
