You can’t have AR accuracy with a gas piston. The reciprcating mass attached to the barrel is the primary cause of innacuracy among AKs. It’s also why a DI AR is more accurate then a M1A.

Does that hold true for both semi and full auto platforms?

Full auto I can see. Harder to picture with a semi. Isn’t the bullet gone before the action starts to cycle?

I had not thought of that. I’ve heard the sig 556 is very accurate and is gas piston. Have you heard anything about that particular gun?
