I've seen threads here and on other sights about the relative merits of Direct Impingement vs. piston AR's relative to accuracy. I've seen people with opinions on both sides.
I am going to purchase a new AR after the first of the year. I currently have two DI AR's. One 16" carbine RRA upper and a RRA 24" Stainless HP varmint upper, both on Bushmaster lowers.
I plan on purchasing an M4 style rifle with rail hand guard and 16-18" barrel.
My question is, "how much if any difference in accuracy is there between a piston or DI AR?". I've heard opinions that the piston guns are less accurate, but when it got down to it, they were comparing them to piston platforms other than AR's.
For out to 200 yards let's say, how big a difference in accuracy is there using factory ball ammo?
