 Custom Cruiser/Dissipator build question

If I send ADCO my Bravo Co midlength barrel, Spikes gas block, and a standard FSB (along with all the other the parts) to build into a Custom Cruiser-like upper, what shop services will I need to purchase?

This will not be a free-floated upper; it will need installation of the triangle end-cap & delta ring to accommodate a Magpul MOE handguard.

Clearly, I'll need the Upper Assembly, but will the charges for Install Your FSB and/or Pin Gas Block also apply?

Thanks

That barrel is not .750 in front of the GB

Well, darn. Looks like it's time for Plan B –– a regular midlength with FF handguard.

eta –– Any suggestions on a source for a midlength barrel of the correct diameter to build a Custom Cruiser with a 0.750 FSB?

Order a .625" FSB from Bravocompany, as well as a triangular handguard cap for .625" barrels. Ask ADCO to turn your gov't profile barrel down to pencil profile in front of the mid-length gas block with provision for mounting the .625" FSB and triangular handguard cap. This way you can have a lightweight Cruiser style barrel.

That's not a suggestion. That's a plan! Thank you.

To piggyback on this, any idea when you'll have some more Custom Cruiser Barrel Kits available? I really want to play around with dissy type setups, lately.
