Palmetto State Armory 16'' Hammer Forged Mid-length Mock Dissipator
$519.95

Once upon a time, a "dissipator" AR was created by taking a 20" rifle-length gas system upper and cutting the barrel down to 16". This allowed the shooter to keep the long sight radius of a rifle for accuracy, but keep the carbine length barrel for maneuverability. The proximity of the gas port to the muzzle, however, played havoc with timing and made reliability a hit or miss proposition. Advances in AR technology have produced reliable carbine and mid-length gas systems, that can be hidden using low-profile gas blocks. This allows for a front sight base to be pinned in the rifle position for the longer sight radius without the worry of the unorthodox gas port location affecting operation. We use the term "mock" to differentiate our dissipator from a cut-down rifle length version.

Our Hammer-Forged Mid-length mock dissipator uses a "Machine Gun Steel" barrel that is thick chrome-lined for durability and high pressure tested and magnetic particle inspected.

Barrel: A proprietary blend of Hammer forged chrome molly vanadium made by FN that is referred to as "Machine Gun Steel" by virtue of its use in FN's M249 and M240 weapons. The hammer forging process work hardens the steel, making it more durable. In addition, the chrome process for the bore allows for a lining almost twice as thick as a standard M16 for enhanced durability. Chambered in 5.56 NATO, with a 1/7 twist, M4 barrel extension, and a Mid-length gas system. A2 style profile barrel is Mil-spec phosphate coated, High Pressure tested and Magnetic Particle inspected. Barrel is finished off with a pinned F-marked front sight post in the Rifle position with sling swivel, MOE rifle length handguards, and an A2 flash hider.

Upper: Forged 7075-T6 A3 AR upper is made to MIL-SPECS and hard coat anodized black for durability. Featuring machined T marks, and a mil-spec finish. These uppers are made for us right here in the USA by a mil-spec manufacturer, and are marked with the Palmetto State Armory logo on the left side, up front, just below the rail.

Bolt: Bolt is made of Mil-spec Carpenter 158 steel, Shot peened, MPI and HPT. Gas key is secured with grade 8 fasteners and staked per mil-spec. Bolt carrier is parkerized outside, chrome lined inside, and laser engraved with the Palmetto State Armory logo.

Each upper is assembled to order with care and test fired before shipping. Please allow up to 15 business days for your upper to ship. Use the drop down menu to specify the color handguards desired.

Shipping: $15

Nice!

It's about time another maker was producing these. Any chance you might offer the barrels alone or uppers without BCG? Generally, I find it easier to build up a rifle a few hundred bucks at a time rather than drop $500+ at a shot. I also don't really need the MOE. I have a KAC M5 rail to drop in on one of these.

All the same, the Dissipator layout is my favorite for GP builds.

We may offer the barrel assemblies in the future, but I have not heard anything on the complete upper with a -BCG/CH option.

Off topic but any ETA on Mock Dissipators with the carbine length gas system?

Thanks

PalmettoStateArmory · #5 11-15-11, 17:18

I was told that they are (approximately) a few weeks out.

Armati · #6 11-17-11, 21:16

It looks like you can get this item http://palmettostatearmory.com/2537.php with out the BCG.

Any chance this one http://palmettostatearmory.com/8974.php will be offered without the BCG?

This upper is not offered without the BCG/CH. Only a few of our upper options are offered in that configuration.

I know im going to catch a lot of flak for posting so late after the fact but I just found you(Palmetto). A friend told me to take a look at your guns. The more I read the more I like. But for the last four weeks I have been checking your web sight DALILY hoping you would get these back in stock and have had no luck. When will you have them again? If I can't get one I will just be ordering a 20"CHF but would rather have the 16" CHF

Thanks so much!

Listed as IN STOCK as of today.

brushy bill · #11 06-04-12, 22:43

And out of stock again.

PalmettoStateArmory · #12 06-11-12, 10:17

These should be available in a couple weeks.

Here's a friendly suggestion for your website. Why don't you add an option (e.g. Aim Surplus) where someone can enter their email address for out of stock items so they can get a reminder when they are back in stock? Maybe not your lane, but could avoid missed sales. Just a thought.

PalmettoStateArmory · #14 06-12-12, 10:05

It's a good suggestion, and one we have all been wanting for a long time. It wasn't possible with our old website, and I'm not sure if it is with the new one. I'll pass the suggestion along.

And maybe an option to filter results to items that are in stock. Nothing more fun than searching for an item and getting 200 results, 20 of which are in stock.

How about along with that new website you maybe answer. Your phones instead of people calling fot 2 hours to only get a call back later message. This type of customer service will not bode well in this market for the long term.
