Sorry for dumb question, this might be my 1st AR. Is this a gas or piston? why do some say both "gas piston" what do you recommend as a first. I have a m1a socom16 that I love, that's a piston right? why does it blow air on bottom hole then?

Question

Randy I. · Answer

Its a gas system see *** The Midwest Industries AR-15 rifle is a great choice for target shooting at the range, hunting out in the field, or home defense. This rifle features a pair of forged 7075-T6 Aluminum upper and lower receivers and they are made to Mil specifications to ensure compatible with AR-15 components, magazines and accessories. ******This rifle features a mid-length gas system which will help to eliminate some of the recoil impulse of a typical carbine length system. So whatever the job calls for pick up a Midwest Industries AR-15 rifle and get the job done right the first time.
