GSR-35 Black LightningT
The GSR-35 Black LightningT (Gas System Retrofit) is a Patents-Pending, short-stroke piston conversion for M16-type battle carbines. The GSR-35T replaces the standard and often problematic direct-gas system with a lightweight operating rod and low-maintenance piston. Once installed, there are no more broken gas rings, droopy gas tubes or hot gases vented into your weapon. Instead, the GSR-35T vents the gases under the hand guard and away from the operator. The high-performance bolt carrier features increased mass, an integral impact lug and specially designed anti-wear features to protect your receiver. Unlike competing products, the GSR-35 Black LightningT is readily installed into your factory upper receiver assembly without permanent modification to your carbine. You keep your factory receivers, barrel and bolt. It utilizes standard hand guards which are supplied with the kit, and a MIL-STD-1913 Rail Interface hand guard is under development.The result is a cleaner and more reliable system that is sure to enhance the overall performance and reliability of your weapon. The GSR-35 Black LightningT is in production and available for both semi-automatic and full-automatic weapons.

Get a POF or Bushmaster or L-W upper if you are smart.

Most of you know that Eugene Stoner's idea of saving weight was to go with the teensy gas tube like the military wanted; the good news is that a piston system weighs only 4 ounces more! Oh yeah, and it's way more reliable and easier to clean!
