That lack of standardized parts thing is enough, by itself, to keep me, personally, from having any interest whatsoever in a piston AR.
The DI AR, among all of its other awesome attributes that have led to it being so incredibly popular, is extremely standardized in terms of parts fitting and availability. Not all parts are created equal and we all have preferences, but even outside of those preferences there are a <deleted> ton of other parts that will fit just as well, and function as designed, and there will be for a long, LONG time. Those parts, and other rifles that can be used for parts, are absolutely everywhere.
