bullshit the first conversion? They have beeing gas piston AR15s for years.

I have heard recoil is Increased Greatly and that it is impossible to get a 3 round burst as tight as a Convention Direct Impengement because of the violent snap of kinetic energy. So thanks but NO thanks.

I like Talon Arms/I'm a Talon Arms customer. But if you watch this video from counter #01:36 to 01:41, there is a VERY obvious difference in recoil. Maybe some piston kits are ok, but to me, the recoil felt like an AK. Maybe adding an MGI buffer would help. I don't know. But my feeling after trying a piston kit was that it had much more muzzle flip & it was very hard to keep the sights on target from shot-to-shot. But regardless, this particular video looks like it has a DI gun in the there.

I'm sorry to say, but that is NOT a gas piston system being used on the carbine at counter # 01:37 ... look at the recoil coming from the bursts of the carbines without the handguard on top, like the one at 01:39 = that IS gas piston recoil... but the recoil at 01:37 is a DI carbine cuz there's no way a gas piston design is that smooth. Just wanted to point that out...seing isn't always believing.

Wrong PS. Look at my video shooting the Adams piston. The full auto shoot is smoother than the semi-auto shoot because the recoil is constant rather than on and off again.

Only available to jack booted thugs.

Plus the gas key can still come loose leaving you helpless.

The reason the Osp-416 is not available for civilians is because if it was you gun geeks wouldn't want it!

Extend it for a 20" AR15 Barrel, and a 10.5" - then itll be cool :D
