Gas Piston is a Red Herring the provides no increase in reliability in the AR format. . . . .

Maybe they don't for what you do. In properly built short barreled (10.5in) guns and aggressive firing cycles, they certainly do.

I don't believe you mentioned budget, so I don't know if money is an issue so much or not. A number of good companies today can sell you a new out of the box model either partially or mostly tricked out, but you're going to be into solid 4 figures or multiples of 4 figures. After a divorce cleanout :-(, I had to start from scratch again and my first purchase (still my fav) was a CMMG M4 with 14.5 bbl and permanently attached phantom flash hider totalling 16". Very pleased with the quality, fit and finish, and it came with a 1:7 bbl twist, so accuracy has been very good. If a sharp appearance matters to you, the CMMG has a really nice black matte teflon finish over the parkerizing. Actually looks (in finish) much like the Smith and Wesson M&P series. Money was a consideration for me, so I was very happy only spending about $800. (Oct '08) I do agree with most above that one is not enough. A good comprimise might be to have one M4 style in 5.56 for all around use, and then move towards maybe a longer range target model in a different caliber. (considering 6.8 or 6.5 Grendal next)

ahh... i've made it to page 10...  .... just gotta thro in my two cents worth.. im building a ''dissipator'' . with CMMG 16'' 1-7 twist. mid-length gas and mid-contour barrel, RR lower with two stage trigger. the dissy has full length rifle sights, and flull length handguards. also putting on a A1 stock, 5/8 inch shorter than a A2 stock. i have a detachable carry handel, and will probly order a la'rue scope mount, and put my leupold 3x9 on it. in my mind the dissipator is the best of both. peabody

So, build both. You can have multiple uppers for that lower.

true. I wanted that 6x45 upper in the classifieds so bad I could taste it, but the timing is wrong, until I get my lawyer paid all projects are on hold

I wonder... Nah, a lawyer does not need an AR to squeeze your last drop... (sorry, awfull joke)
