Turn Your Direct Impingement AR-15 into a Piston Driven Gun
Whether you are looking to complete that custom modern sporting rifle build or improve the performance of your factory built AR, the Adams Arms Piston Kit is just the ticket upgrade. Unlike standard direct impingement gas systems, a piston driven system prevents fouling and carbon from venting and building up inside the receiver by expelling them forward and away from the shooter. This also assists the operator by stopping the uncomfortable side effect of being "gassed" or inhaling the emissions blown through the receiver, when firing suppressed. The Adams Arms Piston kit includes all necessary parts and hardware required for installation. Please note that some aftermarket hand guards and proprietary barrel nuts are not compatible with this kit. It is recommended to check with Adams Arms or hand guard manufacturer for compatibility.Adams Arms Piston Kit Specifications and Features

Ad says pistol length. Is it 7 or 10.5 inches both are pistol lengths
Answer:
That is incorrect. Pistol length gas systems are 6.75" long and the gas port is around 4" down the barrel from the receiver. (Carbine length gas systems are 9.75" long and the gas port, and handguards, is about 7" down the barrel.)
