I have an Adcor Defense Lower. I want an Adcor defense complete piston upper. Problem is it's $1,500 - $1,850. So if I can't have the best, what's a close second that's much cheaper?

My vote goes to BCM.
Screw the piston though, get a DI.

Most of the guys i see with piston uppers have a) not fired it yet and b) plan to hold it and stare at it and tell their friiends how it's "like the best of the AR and AK in one RAD rifle" more than fire it.
Just my opinion but Piston uppers often have a hipster behind them, not always but often.
I'm not understanding the attraction of the piston upper
Not all of us are experienced with ARs. Those of us who have lowers to complete, post here looking for informed guidance, not belittlement. And anyway, hipsters are apparently people, too , and I'll take one piston-owning, 2A-voting hipster to ten anti-normies any day.
But thanks for prompting me to look up these words. My kids hate it when I use modern terms like these.
I'm still on the fence about how I want to complete my two rifles, but currently am leaning toward an Adcor piston, and a mid-length BCM.

If you want a piston upper, I highly recommend the LMT over the ADCOR. You can PM me if you need to discuss.
I think you're right. I need to just suck it up and be patient and get what I really want.

No experience with pistons but BCM is good to go
