We, at Black Rifle Arms, would like to take the time to apologize for any inconvenience due to the backorders on our Piston System Conversion Kits and Uppers. We are pushing hard to lower the backorder timeframe; however, during this time we are focusing on not only increasing production but we are also pushing to release new piston designs to give our customers versatility. As we grow we do not want to rush builds out the door due to increasing demand, but continue to focus on quality builds and continue to treat our customers with priority. We thank our customers for making us successful, and for being patient and understanding as we expand over the next few months pushing out new designs that will improve the Black Rifle. Thank you for your patience…the Black Rifle Arms Team

WHAT MAKES OUR SYSTEM UNIQUE?
For starters the patent pending piston carrier with buffer technology. Second, we designed a system that would be versatile with different calibers with a modification to one simple part. That one simple part has allowed us to do things with our system that others can't do or haven't done. Our unique design that has allowed us to get the 7.62x39 piston uppers running reliably has also allowed us to get the 7.62x39 piston midlengths running reliably also...yes a 7.62x39 midlength piston upper! Our gas piston design that allows this versatality also allows us to run the 300BLK reliably with supersonic and subsonic without a suppressor. It is what has allowed us to go from the AR-15 piston platform to the .308 and AR-10 piston platform with great success and reliablity!! .....Ingenutiy At Work!

What is carrier tilt?
Carrier tilt is a matter of physics; every action has an opposite and equal reaction. When the op-rod of any piston system impinges upon the carrier lug it does so off axis causing the carrier to be thrust upwards into the upper receiver at the forward end and thrust downward at the carrier’s rear. These forces transferred directly into the upper receiver and receiver extension resulting in accelerated wear noted most prominently on the receiver extension.
What advantages does this anti tilt/wear carrier buffer offer?
This carrier buffer supports the carrier inside the upper receiver better managing carrier tilt, while serving as a wear buffer to protect the upper receiver, receiver extension, and buffer from wear. The carrier buffer is slightly enlarged to better support the carrier inside the upper receiver serving as an alignment tool to keep the bolt and carrier inline with the barrel extension preventing torque on the bolt head. The buffer further guides the carrier within the receiver extension supporting the carrier like a tubular rail type system, without metal on metal contact. Because of the physical properties of the buffer material it is self lubricating, shock absorbing, and has seven times the abrasion resistance of carbon steel. In addition the polymer type buffer material eliminates contact between the hardened steel carrier, aluminum receiver extension and buffer; furthermore the shooter will experience a reduction in felt recoil and vibration.
Charles, Your bolt carrier is nothing short of amazing, I was very impressed with the low recoil. I give the carrier system big thumbs up. -Trevor
ALL THE BLACK RIFLE ARMS PISTON SYSTEMS I HAVE ARE A WORK OF ART! I've sold and owned many different piston systems and the Black Rifle Arms System is the best there is! No Carrier bounce and best of all it works on all the Select Fire weapons we build for Law Enforcement! Charles (the owner) is a easy guy to work with and he is very knowledgeable and will help anyone having an AR problem. Great customer service & I highly recommend Black Rifle Arms! -Gary Williams, Class 3 Tactical
Took my 7.62x39 Piston Upper to the range today...ran all my mags through it without one problem. -Jon
Charles thanks man. I went to the range with my buddies and the surplus ammo that my DI Rifle would not shoot is running the surplus ammo with no problems with your gas piston system installed. I can finally shoot the surplus ammo I bought a couple of years ago that has been sitting around. -Richard
The rifle arrived today and it is awesome! Thanks again for all of your help and when I am building my next rifle I'll give you and Charles a call. -Jon
I got to sight in the new rifle today, that thing is sweet.... Tell Charles thank you for me and that I really like this new rifle.... And the workmanship is first class. Can’t say enough good things about it. -Jack
Hey Charles, Just wanted send a note telling you how happy I am with my 7.62x39 upper receiver. Thanks to Google, I stumbled upon Black Rifle Arms. I had questions and you took the time to answer all of them I never realized what a great system I was getting until I purchased it and took it out to the range. My AR-15 is AWESOME and it chews up surplus military ammo like there's no tomorrow. I've never had a misfire, FTF, stovepipe or other problem with my AR, and I can't belive how clean this system runs, especially considering the ammo I'm shooting. Seriously... you've built a better mouse trap! Anyways, thanks for creating such a fun toy for big boys. I'm having a blast thanks to you! -Charlie
I received my 7.62x39 gas piston upper on Tuesday. Thank you for the excellent service. I was very impressed with the workmanship of your product. Took it to the range yesterday and was immediately impressed with its accuracy right out of the box. This is a ballistic equivalent to a 30-30 in an ACCURATE semi-automatic platform. What more could a hog hunter want. Congratulations on an amazing product. -Craig
Black Rifle Arms 7.62x39 Mid Length Gas Piston System. Wooo Hooo! Gun shot great considering I havent put red dot on yet. Shot about 250rds before we ran outa light.
