LWRC M6A2 vs PWS DC16 HELP!!

[evilf150]

Carrier Tilt is still an issue with all gas piston AR's(some more than others), so don't forget to get a PWS enhanced buffer tube which ever way you go.

Thanks dan I saved the link to my favorites

the a3 upper has the adjustable gas system.

why do i need this?

As well as a longer gas system, Also, the sight is mounted on the barrel instead of the rail system.

the longer gas system i read =less recoil. but how much?

 

[travistheone]

Adjustable gas helps when the rifle becomes soiled, when running different ammo, or running surpressed.

 

[evilf150]

but its not needed for running surpressed

 

[travistheone]

Adjustment is good for any of the numerous variables that you can encounter.

Better to have the capability and not use it, then not to have it when you need it.

The M6A3 has 4 settings:

1.) Closed
2.) Normal
3.) Adverse
4.) Suppressed

Just something to consider. I used the closed when running my .22LR conversion kit to avoid having fouling in the piston. You can also turn it off to shoot single shot w/ a suppressor. The adverse setting is theoretically for SHTF when you're shooting 5,000 rounds in a dirty environment without cleaning. Suppressed means less gas in your face with a suppressor, and normal, is well, just normal.

FWIW.

*ETA: I am not so sure the longer gas system lends to 'reduced recoil' but it should theoretically afford more dwell time for a less harsh extraction. Regardless, with most piston AR systems you will have punchier recoil than a DI AR.

isn't the only difference the Front Sight

No. It is a mid-length piston system vs. a carbine length in the A2 and the gas system is adjustable- normal, suppressed, and adverse.

Oh, and you have a longer sight radius with the M6A3

 

[Patrick]

And the A3 front sight is fixed directly to the gas block, eliminating issues of sight drift from attachment to floating rails, which I never really considered a problem anyway.

And carrier tilt is not an issue with LWRC pistons. They fixed and patented that a long time ago. See their forum for endless descriptions from the guys who actually engineered the things to understand why. I ain't that smart but trust those who are, and they say it's all good.

If you go piston, you need to try going LWRC. The only reason to step down is because of $$$, which is 110% understandable.

sounds like am going to get a A3

 

[Patrick]

I'll bring it to the next shoot so people can give the M6A3 a once over.

Actually, I think LWRC shows up to most of the shoots anyway. They are smarter than I am, for sure.

Good, now the rest of us wont have to biatch-slap you!

LWRC owners are a bit like cultists, if you haven't noticed.

Also, check out the LWRCI forum at http://forum.lwrci.com/forum/ and start drinking the flavoraid, my friend.

I had a similar question I posted about over there, and the majority of the vote went for either an M6A1-S or a M6A3 vs an M6A2 with an M6A2-S coming in a close third.

With the A3 you get more rail space, sight on the barrel, foldable sight, longer sight radius, and a longer gas system. And it's really only about $100 more than an M6A2 and the same price as an M6A2-S.
