The first 18" Alexander Arms barrel I purchased was over gassed and would not function. The piston conversion I installed was an Adam Arms and it ran flawlessly. They are self regulating if proper gas is available. I have tried other piston conversions throughout the years and I even have a Rhino conversion from the 80's. The carbine length piston conversions recoil less than the mid length piston conversions. I had the luxury to test piston set ups with the same barrels through out the years and do side by side comparisons. The recoil on any piston gun conversion is different than a DI. Record your split times or do a side by side comparison. When I use the term excessive recoil, I'm talking split times. Many people like their piston conversions and more power to them. I on the other hand have a shelf full of piston conversions collecting dust.
