Bottom of the page.

But let's note that he's talking about attempts to RETRO-FIT AFTERMARKET parts to "stock" AR-15s.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. After handling a few more and speaking with a number of folks at the range, basically everyone's of the same opinion: quality gun, quality mags, tuned and cleaned, a decent AR should have no more issues than anything else, gas impingement or not.

So. I just purchased a Stag 3L (lefty). Will worry about an SBR conversion once I've wrung out the gun at the range. Or, earlier, if the Pelosi virus hits too hard.
