    Have a Bushmaster dissipator and an Osprey Piston kit

    The piston kit is for a carbine, but would this fit the dissipator?

    The gas tube and ground down gas block seem to be the same length as the carbine. I believe the only hurdle is the handguards. The kit came with modified carbine length handguards, which obviously would be too short.

    Would Magpul MOE rifle-length handguards allow the piston to function under them? I do like the look of the MOE's and if they'd work without grinding the pxxp out of them (like I did with my AR10 and a set of midlengths MOE's), that would be pretty slick....me thinks.

    Edit: One other thing I thought, could this be overgassed from the length of the barrel after the gas port? I believe it's the same as a 16" carbine model (length and port size), but I'm wondering if anyone can confirm this.

    Slap that thing together and put it on consignment at your favorite gun shop. Take the funds and buy a BCM, Colt, Daniel Defense or LMT AR. Just my two cents.

    He is right. You have a disaster waiting to happen.

    You need to get rid of your stuff and go buy a quality direct impingement AR15.

    Is this a range toy or a fightin' rifle?

    If it's a fighting rifle, the aforementioned advise is valid. If it's a range toy, you can do what you want to it. Weird stuff happens when you start bolting together parts on a rifle that isn't made to mil-spec. Dissipators are tapped at the carbine location. It's functionality will be the same as BM's 16" carbine offerings, be it overgassed or whatever is typical on those.

    Do what ever you feel will work the best. You could tame the gas down with the valve.

    Sorry, these jerks don't have a clue what you were talking about the closest they have come to a gas piston system is the stuff coming out of their axx.
