Dissipator build

[machman72]

I have almost completed the mock Dissipator that I have been wanting for quite a while. The purpose is just a simple irons site rifle that will be a KISS rifle and also serve as an "irons" rifle in competition. I wanted a pinned FSB due to the robustness of it. The largest hurdle building this rifle was finding a mid length barrel with a properly pinned FSB at the rifle location. Adco took care of this for a not so modest price. However, I am very happy with the Adco barrel and workmanship.

I may get a Daniel Defense fixed rear sight to replace the YHM folder. I may switch the ACSL stock for a CTR(Magpul).

Heres some details:
Essential Arms lower
RRA NM trigger
Mil-spec Buffer assembly
Magpul MAID grip
Magpul ACSL stock
Magpul MOE rifle length forend
Adco barrel assembly (16" CL mid gas)
Upper & FA BCG/CHH (off of Troy Carbine)

Adco barrel (btm) next to Troy Carbine barrel (top) for comparison

Nice build, I love the dissipator type rifles

What I like the most is the improved sight radius and the extra handguard space. Looks good.

Me too.

This is my first build. I am happy with the results. 120 rounds of cheap 55gr (Herters) downrange without issue.

I love how you did the mock dissipator set up. I always thought the reliability of an actual dissipator was questionable. I like how you made that work out. Good job.

Looks great. Why did you pin the front sight and not the gas block?

Would have cost me another $55 to pin the GB. I can do that my self (I'm a machinist). I ended up dimpling the barrel for set screws myself. I may pin the barrel when I get around to it.

I didn't notice that before.....

I would suggest pinning it, only because of my personal preference.

Although I really don't foresee it failing dimpled only because its under the handguard.

I agree. I will likely do that.

that looks great.

i have mocked up my mock dissipator,
but still need a bcg and stripped u.r.

lot of firsts for me in this one,
first magpul furniture, first dissipator, first nitride barrel, etc.

i just paid for my first pmags a few months ago.
i got a regular pmag, window pmag, and lancer for free at a work event about five years ago, scoffed, and never took them seriously. i have let time tell and opinions to form on facts, and think magpul is pretty solid.
