Just my $0.02.
I appreciate the high value recommendation
I bring up the "easy to clean" part because ARs " Carbon up" quick. Nothing necessarily wrong with the drop in boxes but I like to be able to maintain the trigger.

I've used ARs more than the average bear and have seen about everything that can go wrong happen. I value rugged simplicity wherever I can get it.

Have had a Sig piston 16" carbine for a while now. It's the only piston AR I have, and it runs much cleaner than my others.

It also has a gas adjustment for suppressed shooting. Don't get a magazine of powder fouled ammo.
Pistons run WAY cleaner for sure. Can't count how many partial mags I've dropped (top off when you get the chance!) that look like they came out of a campfire when running a can.

Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and
Power is no substitute for bullet performance. 458WIN
