The long stroke system will not affect accuracy. The reason the AK is known to be inaccurate is due to the very loose tolerances of the system, the way the bolt locks into position, and the very short sight base. The system will not affect accuracy of the weapon. A modified AR will be more accurate than most people can legitmatly shoot.

Long-strok?! Isnt long-stroke the AK way or Im missing something? Cause the AK mechanism is known for downgrading accuracy…

I heard the same thing. The rear of the bolt gets shoved down and to gouges the lower reciever. I think that is with ANY Retofit piston system. Not sure if is the case with the ruget SR-556.

I’ve heard these type of retro-fits can cause the bolt assembly to wear on the inside of the upper receiver at a funny angle due to the way in which the rod “unnaturally” pushes the bolt assy. backwards. Is this the case with this modification?

For that price you can buy a whole new rifle. Upper and lower. These prices are out of control. I dont understand how you can buy a base S&W M&P15 Flat Top AR for $900 and a M&P 45c pistol for $250 less @ $650. Either the pistols are overpriced or they all are. Let the fleecing of America continue with exploitation of our 2nd ammendment. Adam Arms offers a piston system for $500 which isnt cheap by any means, but if you have to have a piston system and you want to save money theres $175 in your pocket by buying it. Capitalism ROCKS! Bend over America!
